Monday Meet and Greet: Tomas Rojas Defends His WBC Super Flyweight Title

Tomas Rojas defended his WBC super flyweight title for the first time this past weekend against Ring rated No. 2 Nobou Nashiro. Rojas controlled the fight with his superior reach and height advantage and cruised to a unanimous decision over 12 frames.

He is much better than his record indicates and could have a lengthy reign at the top (fight video).

Fight I Want To See

A fight with Hugo Fidel Cazares or a rematch with Cristian Mijares. They would both be all-Mexican showdowns and would provide fireworks. The fight with Mijares would also represent a chance for him to avenge his loss against him. On the flip side Cazares is the only name he hasn’t fought yet in this division and Cazares owns a win over Nashiro as well.

What Is in His Future

I haven’t heard of anything so I have no idea.
