    So is it surprising to know that he’s only defended a world championship twice in his entire career?

    It shocked me when I realized that. But yes, his only two title defenses came against Juan Carlos Burgos in 2014 and Robert Easter in 2018.

      Worth noting that in Roldys top 20 of the decade where he compares fighters based on their performances against top 10 fighters Mikey came in at #5 overall which really ain't too shabby whichever way you look at it.

      If I'm counting right Mikeys got 10 world title fights (of which 2 were for vacant titles) and won 9 of em which ain't anything to sniff at. Way I see it there ain't intrinsically more or less credit in fighting for a title than defending it, its more to do with the quality of the opponent faced.
