    Mauricio Sulaimán of the wbc and personal supporter of a juiced up Nery saying he'll personally scrutinize 'the case' for rematch. Fuentas spit his own mouthpiece and set it on the canvas before getting up ffs. Higa looks like is a seriously strong fighter for weight. Vicious body work.

    It was all but over. Tried to buy some extra time by spitting it the mouth piece, he could have got hurt had it continued.

    So Higa misses weight, looks awful but fight is allowed to go forth. Loses title in the scales. Higa's corner throws in the towel in the 9th with Rosales ahead on 2 cards, the 3rd is even.

    Higa should have withdrawn or not been allowed to fight. He has to move to 115 now, another nice addition to the division.

    Also looks good for Selby who already holds a win over Rosales and is the #1 contender to Rosales' new WBC belt.

    That was a hell of an upset (Rosales around a 10/1 shot), even though with hindsight the weight clearly killed Higa and Rosales was being underestimated. Kal Yafai beat Rosales too early in their careers (he tweeted congrats to Rosales, obviously gave him a little boost), however, it really was an eye-opener for Selby's win over him, I made the point in this thread Selby's length and awkwardness might cause Higa problems.

    Incidentally this show (Murata headlining against Blandamura) got a whopping 17 million viewers on Japanese TV. 17 million!!! Numbers that the US/UK will never come close to seeing again, and yet we have arrogant fans on here that demand these fighters "prove" themselves in the States or make a name for themselves in the UK.

    Was this the espn card that aired Sunday? Absolutely missed everything and surprised Higa lost like that. I knew he blew the weight and sounds like he set himself up for downfall.

    Yea he was suspended indefinitely by the JBC, fined 20% of his purse and will have to move up a division if the suspension is lifted.

    Blimey, the Japanese commission don't mess about, they have put to shame all the commissions we see on a weekly basis brushing under the carpet the constant infractions we see.

    If Nevada and New York and whatnot started fining these divas 20% of their purse, threatening lifetime bans, automatic suspension, and banishment from the weightclass these cheating bastards wouldn't dare come in overweight let alone risk juicing themselves up to the gills.
