Comments Thread For: Uchiyama-Farenas Early Results: Igarashi Dethrones Jaro

[JakeNDaBox]

Takashi Uchiyama attempts the fifth defense of his alphabet 130 lb. title as he faces visiting Filipino challenger Michael Farenas on Monday evening in Saitama, Japan.

The card is a title fight doubleheader of Japan versus Philippines. The co-feature saw Sonny Boy Jaro's unexpected flyweight title reign end in its very first defense, suffering a split decision at the hands of Toshiyuki Igarashi.

Jaro won 116-112 on one card, but scores of 115-113 and 116-112 in favor of Igarashi crown a new lineal champion in the flyweight division.

It's one of 3 on my list of worst world champions that will lost their belts in next fight. Now time for Gaele and Bailey. I'd add there Wlodarczyk as well, but he may end up fighting Roy Jones so I'll wait.

[any craic lad?]

Nothing more frustating then a fighting ending this way

Ya it pissed me off but at least i got to see it,and how did Igrashi win the guy through pitter patter bs Jaro was hurting him over and over

[MARKBNLV]

Why would Jaro defend his title in Japan that fight should have been in the Phillipines.

[MARKBNLV]

Japan is where the money is in lower weight classes and Jaro I don't even think is that popular in Phillipines.

Makes sense ..........

How did Uchiyama look in the early goings?

Igarashi's win no surprise as many had him favored even w/Jaro's upset title win, the biggest considering all weights & the champ in the past 3/4 years...
