Rojas Knows Mbamba is a Must-Win To Get Darchinyan
By Mark Vester
WBC interim-super flyweight champion Tomas Rojas (31-11, 22KOs) has a very dangerous fight on Saturday night. He faces unbeaten Evans Mbamba (16-0, 8KOs) on at the World Trade Center in Veracruz, Mexico. Dangerous because Mbamba is regarded as a tough fighter, and Rojas is already set to face WBA and full WBC super flyweight champion Vic Darchinyan (32-2, 26KOs) on December 12 at the Agua Caliente Casino in Rancho Mirage, California. Darchinyan-Rojas is going to be televised by Showtime.
Rojas realizes that not only does he have to win, but he must also look good and walk away from the fight without an injury.
"This is a must-win because I've been given a chance to fight with Vic Darchinyan, who beat a lot of Mexicans. I have to win this fight [with Mbamba]," said Rojas. "But I know it will not be easy and I am prepared for him. First is Mbamba and then Darchinyan. I know that not only do I have to win on Saturday but also look good and try not to get hurt so I can have the fight on December 12 in America," Rojas told ESTO.
