Does he get a 2nd shot on the scales?

Not sure. Been trying to google jap news.

Too bad, with that being said I'd love to see him basically take Inoue's place at 115 and get in on that action there

Agreed. Superfly is where it's at anyway....

Well f#ccccccccccccccccccccccccccccck

Definitely unprofessional, but this weigh in sh^t is becoming an issue for lotsa mfers. I ain't do my homework on this, but it feels like a higher % of titles are being dropped on the scales than previously. Then again there are so many more titles now vs back in the day of course its gonna feel like its happening more often.

There is literally no coverage of Higa's loss on this site. Shame. Of course, I forgot how much boxing "fans" hate smaller fighters.

Well damn. I'm a lil shook. I was looking forward to him doing business for awhile at the top of the 112lb division. Now with a title lost on the scales + a KO L to a guy with no notable KO W's before last night its not looking good for him right now.

Wonder if he had an injury or wasn't taking this fight as seriously for some reason?

I think he comes back either way & I highly doubt we've seen the best of him.

Rosales can fight this was no surprise Rosales whooped him and would do it again.

I watched the fight and Rosales was just all around better schooled than Higa.

He was struggling to make weight so who knows how much that affected him.
