Akira Yaegashi Vs Roman Gonzalez

The best weight in boxing right now is the Flyweight division. It has the depth, talent and match ups that make it the best in the sport by some margin, despite it's relative lack of internationally recognised names. It's one of the few divisions where the best fight the best and where no one is scared of losing, unlike some better known fighters.

One of the best bouts in the division this year saw Akira Yaegashi battle against unbeaten Nicaraguan sensation Roman Gonzalez in a bout for the WBC world title. We won't ruin the result but we will say that this is one of those truly fantastic bouts where we get two of the best fighters in the division trading shots, showing their bravery, toughness and world class skills to create a great contest.

Whether you're as much of a Flyweight fan as us or not, this bout really is one of the stand out bouts of the year and deserves all the plaudits it gets. Likewise both men who were involved in it deserve to commended for not fighting against lesser foes than each other. Both are true credits to professional boxing.
