Scores were 115-110, 116-109 and 117-108 in the type of savage bloodbath that has become the norm for Yaegashi's career. [Click Here To Read More]

Ohhh man..... anybody doing a RBR of Tunacao?

Igarashi was only recognized as the "rightful flyweight champion" by people who put any importance in the idea of having a "linear" champion in this era of four or five champions per division. He should have lost his belt in his first defense and he would have easily lost to Viloria, Melindo, Estrada, Reveco, Sosa and a whole host of others at 112. Good to see Yaegashi get the win.

Glad Yaegashi got the win but he can make dudes crack with his pressure. Igarashi is still a good fighter IMO and I feel he would do well against anyone, including Yaegashi in a rematch.
