Tomas Rojas Decisions Mbamba, Vic Darchinyan is Next

By Mark Vester

At the World Trade Center in Veracruz, Mexico, Tomas Rojas (32-11-1, 22 KOs) won a dominating twelve round decision over previously undefeated Evans Mbamba (16-1, 8 KOs) of South Africa. The scores were 117-109, 117-109 and 119-108.

He was stronger and just plain tougher than the challenger. Rojas rocked him in the third, then again in seventh, dropping him and the ref ruled it a slip. During the eleventh and twelfth rounds, Rojas punished him to seal the deal on the cards.

Rojas, the WBC interim-super flyweight champion is going to face the full champion, Vic Darchinyan, on the Showtime telecast on December 12 at the Agua Caliente Casino in Rancho Mirage, California. Darchinyan-Rojas will be paired with the main event of Timothy Bradley defending his WBO 140-pound title against mandatory Lamont Peterson.

"I'm ready to Darchynian, I will defeat him, tonight the fight Mbamba was a little complicated, but thanks to my boxing I prevailed," Rojas said.
