The event took place Feb. 4 at Grand Oasis Cancun the Hotel Complex, Cancun`s ONLY Ultimate All-Inclusive Entertainment Resort, which hosts all series events.
The main event and co-feature showcased a pair of world-class Mexican fighters, former minimumweight world champion פֿראַנסיסקאָ “Chihuas” ראַדריגעז and No.1 world rated lightweight Dante “Crazy” Jardon, in critical matches that had immediate world title fight implications.
The main event was a scheduled 10-round flyweight bout between Rodriguez (20-4-1, 13 קאָס) און Hajime Nagai (14-7-2, 4 קאָס), of Japan. Rodriguez captured the World Boxing Organization (וובאָ) minimumweight title March 22, 2014 אין מעקסיקא, by way of a 10-round technical knockout over previously unbeaten Merlito Sabillo (23-0-1), who was making his third title defense.
Rodriguez dropped IBF minimumweight title-holder Katsunari Takayama (27-6) once en route to his 12-round unanimous decision victory August 9, 2014, אין מעקסיקא, in their unification match. Rodriguez later vacated both of his world minimumweight titles.
Rated as the No. 3 flyweight contender in the world by the WBO and No. 11 דורך די יבף, ווי ווויל ווי קיין. 9 as a light flyweight by the World Boxing Council (וובק), Rodriguez can position himself for a potential title shot against WBO reigning flyweight champion זאָו שימינג (9-2, 2 קאָס), the 2-time Olympic gold medalist from China, who is scheduled to fight an opponent to be determined מאַרץ 6 אין מאַקאַו.
אין די 10-קייַלעכיק גלויבנס-שטריך, WBC No. 1 contender Jardon (30-5, 23 קאָס) defended his WBC International Silver lightweight title belt against his fellow Mexico City challenger, פֿראַנסיסקאָ “Paquito” Rojo (18-2, 11 קאָס).
Jardon’s most notable victories have been over two-time world title challenger Miguel Roman (WDEC12) אין זייער 2012 רימאַטש, וועלט טיטל טשאַללענגער Adrian Verduro (DQ2) and former world super featherweight titlist גמליאל דיאַז (KO8) אין 2013, and two-time world champion Juan Carlos Salgado (DEC12) last March.
WBC Diamond title-holder and reigning World Boxing Association (וובאַ) lightweight world champion, דזשאָרגע לינערז (41-3, 27 קאָס), of Venezuela, איז סקעדזשולד צו קעמפן יאַם. 24 in a rematch with former WBA champion אַנטאַני קראָללאַ (31-5-3-3, 13 קאָס) אין מאַנטשעסטער, אמעריקאנער קינגדאָם.
If Jardon impressively defeated Rojo, he could be on the long list to fight Linares later this year, or now, as the No. 1 מאַנדאַטאָרי טשאַללענגער, he could take on new WBC lightweight king Mickey Garcia (36-0, 30 קאָס), the rising American star who recently knocked out defending WBC 135-pound division champion Dejan Zlaticanin (22-1, 15 קאָס). Garcia was rated No. 2 to Jardon in the most recent WBC lightweight world ratings.
The televised action starts with an eight-round welterweight bout between יוחנן “סאָוטהפּאַוו” אַלוואַרעז (24-7, 16 קאָס) און ונדעפעאַטעד ויסקוק Henry “Bestia” פראַנקאָ (8-0, 5 קאָס).
