Last week I blogged about how there was a triple head in Japan, a show that if you caught it you'd have really enjoyed. Both Nishioka and Ao defended their titles successfully whilst Hozumi Hasegawa suffered his 2nd stoppage loss in 3 fights at the hands of Jhonny Gonzalez. At the end of the month however boxing fans have a bit of a scheduling nightmare. America (south and north) hold no less than 6 title fights in just 1 night. They are:
Rafael Concepcion v Hugo Ruiz (WBA, Bantamweight)-Panama
Gilberto Keb Baas v Adrian Hernandez II (WBC, Light Flyweight)-Mexico
Jesus Geles v Ramon Garcia Hirales II (WBO, Light Flyweight)-Mexico
Raul Garcia v Rommel Asenjo (WBO, Minimumweight)-Mexico
Julio Cesar Miranda v Richie Mepranum II (WBO, Flyweight)-USA
Luis Alberto Lazarte v Ulises Solis II (IBF, Light Flyweight)-Argentina
Although these are all in the “smaller weights” and include 4 rematches they should include some very interesting match ups. What's perhaps the most amazing is that from the 12 fighters involved not a single one has an unbeaten record. In fact the combined losses are 52!
By fighter:
Keb Bass-20
Lazarate-9
Concepcion-5
Miranda-5
Asenjo-2
Hirales-2
Mepranum-2
Solis-2
Geles-1
Garcia-1
Hernandez-1
Ruiz-1
Could this be 4 records-
1-Most title fights on the same night? (6)
2-Most title fight rematches on the same night? (3)
3-Most combined losses of title fight fighters in 1 night? (52)
4-Most title fights with out an unbeaten record?
