Jerwin Ancajas vs. Alejandro Santiago Barrios - September 28, 2018 on ESPN+

[Ruthless-RKO]

Not against Kal Yafai..

IBF super flyweight champion Jerwin Ancajas (30-1-1, 20 KOs) will be back inside the ring on September 29 to defend his title on a Top Rank Boxing card on ESPN+ in California, according to Dan Rafael.

The opponent and the venue still are in the planning stages, but #10 WBO Alejandro Santiago Barrios (16-2-4, 7 KOs) is being mentioned as the potential opponent.

He should really be joining the big boys on the SuperFly cards..

Terrible, but I said this would happen when he sighed with top rank. A string of poor defences.

I was hopeful of the Yafai fight after they fought in the same card.

Yafai will also do what I expected and defend his belt against another unknown on the Joshua v Povetkin card. I'm sure Hearn will promise a big fight for him next......again.

What was poor about Sultan? The guy had one of the best victories in the division.

[Boxing Prospect]

No issue with Sultan, he was the mandatory afterall and on a decent run... But Rodriguez, Kinoshita (a mandatory but an awful one), Conlan and Gonazalez aren't exactly great given the depth of the division and the fact he's turned Inoue down a number of times.

Yafai hasn't been much better, Ishida being his only credible defense

Fair enough with that, it wasn't a good fight but he was a mandatory and considered top 10.

It really takes the piss that him and Yafai were in the same card and don't fight.


Like a lesser version of Stevenson and Kovalev all those years ago.

I can understand Ancajas taking the Conlan fight because he would have been paid really good money and it was a really easy fight for him.

Yafai in the other hand hasn't had that which is why I am heavily critical of him turning down Inoue last year.

Anyone tuning in to this??

I know it's not on in the UK, BN are showing Devin Haney instead.

[diddy]

Ancajas pretty clearly trailing thru 6 rounds, probably 4-2, which of course means he's up 4-2 on the Top Rank cards.

[diddy]

5-3 Santiago so 5-3 or 6-2 Ancajas.

[diddy]

7-3 Santiago. Ancajas is garbage.

[diddy]

116-112 Santiago.

He will of course be lucky to escape with a draw.

[diddy]

And it's a draw. The -7000 favorite escapes.

[jamamb]

good thing for ancajas that he stayed off those superfly shows

[diddy]

Most believe Ancajas lost. He probably did.

I guess Kal Yafai may not be next?
