It seems like he already went up..His last fight was at 109lbs(1 pound over the light flyweight limit, which would actually be in the flyweight category)& he's already ranked #2 for García's WBO 108lbs title..Ironically Ramón's twin brother(Raul alias "Rayito") has the WBO Title Nietes vacated at 105lbs..Ramón García is gonna have to be in his A+ game if he wants to try to keep his title, cause Nietes ain't NO JOKE!!

He fought El "Chango" Vargas in Mexico(which is where Vargas is from) & 2 judges had it for Nietes 118-110 & 116-110 & the other 116-112 for Vargas..It doesn't sound much like a robbery to Me, if anything it seems like ONLY 1 judge try rob someone, ay that was the judge that had Nietes loosing!

Nietes is unhyped good fighter, and i think if this fight will push-through, then Ramon Garcia on his tile is numbered.. but indeed, it would be a good fight!!!

that's the problem fighting at minimum weight, underappreciated and lack hype and lolz at anyone claiming nietes as a joke...

After Segura announced that he would be vacating his light flyweight title, Nietes pulled out of his mandatory defense against Raul at the last minute to put himself in a position to challenge the winner of the vacant title, which happened to be won by Raul's brother, Ramon. I think Raul is the better boxer so I guess you could say it was a wise move on his part.

As far as Nietes' previous fight with Vargas is concerned, the two cards in his favor were way too lopsided. It was a close fight with a lot of close rounds that could have gone either way.
