congrats to mexico's julio cesar miranda for winning the vacant WBO flyweight over stylish filipino mepranum via 5th round ko. with the victory, miranda becomes the 110th mexican-born world boxing champion, and incidently, widens mexico's lead over the philippines in world title fights to 45-23-4.

going into the fight, i thought it was a toss-up fight because filipino mepranum looked spectacular in his last fight when he shutout mexican undefeated prospect, hernan marquez. but i also knew miranda was one tough SOB and would probably walk down mepranum because of his lack of power.

again, congrats julio cesar miranda, mexico's newest world champion!
