Takayama vs Rodriguez FOTY Full Fight Video

Little guys were hitting each other with six-seven combinations flush to the face and not backing down, this was a real fight. Rodriguez had more power than the Jap, that made the difference. Had him winning by 3 points. One of the fights of the year, hopefully it'll be recognized, straw weight never gets mainstream recognition. Rodriguez vs. Hekkie Budler could be competitive, maybe if we get an undisputed champ we'll start getting more buzz at the lower weights.

Pretty big minimumweight unification fight, albeit the division seems to have settled down a bit now. If the noises from the east are true then I'd have to disagree entirely with the "settled down" part. We're set for Novoa Vs Wanheng (WBC) Budler Vs Zhong (WBA) Buitrago Vs Knockout CP Freshmart (WBA int) Hara Vs Tanaka (OPBF) All either scheduled or expected BEFORE the year ends!

What a fight. I'll hold out hope that Rodriguez faces Buddler at some point.

Everyone should watch this. I mean unless you're douche nozzle. Check it out. Great fight.

I don't know what weight class this is but it shouldn't exist. Donaire and Rigo is as low as I'm watching and Donaire and Rigo look like middleweights next to these guys. And you call yourself a boxing fan? smh..

Pretty big minimumweight unification fight, albeit the division seems to have settled down a bit now. The light flyweight/flyweight divisions are where the lower weight exciting fights are, insofar as all minimum/light flyweights seem to be moving up to fly. Yaegashi/Gonzales coming up for the lineal flyweight championship, i really dont know who to pick with that fight Estrada, unified WBA/WBO flyweight champ has an interesting (stay busy) fight coming up Ruenroeng just beat an undefeated Ioka for the IBF strap, though Ioka looked far better at minimumweight I dont buy into the idea that smaller guys just arent exciting, youre really missing out if you believe that

That TV Azteca crew are bias and sound like fanboys. Unprofessional as hell! SHM About the fight it was very good! I love JCC Sr but he's the main reason I want to watch fights from TV Azteca on mute lol. I was dying when he was broadcasting while standing and screaming lmao… and their voices were cracking from excitement :lol1: Hilarious. Anyway round 8 - 12 were something else. That Championship round was sheer strength of will on both ends.

That TV Azteca crew are bias and sound like fanboys. Unprofessional as hell! SHM About the fight it was very good! Chavez's cheer-leading was hilarious! HBO/Showtime are less blatant, but it didn't bother me. It was funny to hear Chavez's enthusiasm after Chihuas landed a punch. "Upper, Upper!" You would've thought that Chavez was his trainer.

I don't know what weight class this is but it shouldn't exist. Donaire and Rigo is as low as I'm watching and Donaire and Rigo look like middleweights next to these guys. it's 105. It's your decision lol, i'm just stating the truth. If 122 is your limit in watching fighters due to them being "too small" for your liking, you are not alone. Many American fans share the same sentiment but are missing out on some action packed fights. Honeslty there isn't much going on right now outside of the flyweights and below. Also, why shouldn't it exist? You do realise some folks aren't built to be Middleweights, etc.. For the most part men at these weights are below 5'4 and thus would get dismantled at higher weights. How is this their fault? lol. It's not like the decided to be undersized at birth… I think it's great to see Boxing as a sport give the opportunity to any fighter, from any walk of life, despite physical attributes to compete. It should exist and it does so rightfully, not only that but they provide us fans with some great fights. While casual fans moan and cry over Salka fans of the sport relish in these fights. Heart, determination and respect.

This was definitely a good fight, a bit too light for me though. I don't think I would watch just any match-up from this division.

Skills betray body frames. Look past it and you might just find some jewels. Also, Rodriguez, the winner.. is only 21 and already unified belts. What is even more impressive is that he did it all within this year… in fact 5 months from each other… I don't know what weight class this is but it shouldn't exist.

Are you kidding me? Just no. They look like little kids in there fighting. Skills betray body frames. Look past it and you might just find some jewels.
