    Comments Thread For: Takayama-Rodriguez Jr: Pre-Fight Report Card

    105 lbs. is a division without a clear leader or even much of an identity today. By Sunday, it will likely have improved on both fronts. Even with the easy skepticism wrought by having too many titles and too few genuine champions, there remains a certain romance to unification fights between the titlists of separate organizations.

    A single unification might not tell the world who the very best in a given division is, but it gets us a step closer. It also often produces extra fireworks. Unification often means a little extra to the participants. They express that in leather.

    This weekend’s unification bout looks like impending violence of the best kind. Both participants have shown themselves open to action. Can they exceed expectations and produce heat in the dog days of summer?

    It's pretty pathetic how far I've fell off on my knowledge of anything below 122. I probably haven't watched a straw weight fight since Calderon retired. Since this is the only noteworthy fight on tonight, I plan to tune in and hopefully catch a show. Good write up.
