    Akira Yaegashi, Francisco Rodriguez Jr and Oscar Blanquet were all effectively Flyweight bouts. That's two very good wins and one solid supplementary win.

    Missing out on some top fights, wouldn't consider myself an expert with the lower weights but seems to be a lot of top fights and entertaining bouts when I have watched the elite in those weights fight.

    Blanquet took place above the Flyweight limit. Rodriguez is a good win in hindsight but was still green and unranked when Gonzalez beat him. Even so, that's still behind what Estrada has accomplished at Flyweight alone.

    It was marginally above Flyweight (0.5lbs) in the view of most it'd be a Flyweight bout. It was contracted 1/2lb over (as per JBC) though in essence still a Flyweight bout against a guy who gave a then champion a tough one.

    He is still behind what Estrada has done at the weight but that's more than 1 good win.

    9/10/14: Amnat Ruenroeng defended his IBF title by winning a tough and ugly but deserving SD over McWilliams Arroyo.

    Ruenroeng goes to 14-0 while Arroyo drops to 15-2.

    9/16/14: Kazuto Ioka defeated Pablo Carillo by winning a 10 round UD.

    Ioka goes to 15-1 while Carillo drops to 15-3-1.

    Should Yaegashi still be rankled at 112? He's fighting at 108 next time out

    Muranaka perhaps deserves a mention or Koki Eto or Casimero?
