Love Ronnie. He even finds a way to put in a plug for the Philippines and Filipinos in a story about two guys from South America fighting a title fight in Argentina.
Astonishing upset. Lazarte is a tough bastard, but he's almost always come up short in the big fights and he's a gummer for a light flyweight. He'll probably lose the title in his first defense, but it's still an acoomplishment, especially at 39. Tamara is tough to figure out because he's good one fight and mediocre the next.

Its becoming obvious that the only fight that will ever matter in this division is Caldron-Segura. Why don't they get it done already before Caldron's old ass loses to some ham-n-egger that takes the recognized title back to some third world country and holds it hostage.
