Didn't see the fight, but apparently Injin Chi has won back his title with a comfortable decision victory.
"Chi dethrones Lopez.
Recaptures WBC featherweight crown
Featherweight In-jin Chi (31-3-1, 18 KOs) recaptured the WBC featherweight title with a unanimous decision over defending titlist Rudy Lopez (19-3-1, 13 KOs) on Sunday at the Chungmu Art Hall in Seoul, Korea. Scores were 117-111, 116-112 and 116-113. Chi overcame an apparently fractured finger in round eight and was still fighting hard at the end to preserve the win. It was Chi's first fight since losing the title to Takashi Koshimoto by split decision in January. Koshimoto was defeated by Lopez in his first defense, and now Lopez has reliquished the belt in his first defense, as well.

Chi seems to be the overlooked guy in the Featherweight mix, & would love to see him in some big bouts, as I think he makes a tough fight for anyone in the division, including JMM, Barrera & Pacquaio.
