Esquivel was on a 13 fight winning streak before Yamanaka got to him, Hernias. He would have been rated higher before the fight.hearns wrote:Brute wrote:Christian Esquivel had a 24-2 record (18KOs) and had won the final WBC elimination going into the fight.hearns wrote:Yamanaka did beat the 4th best mexican bantamweight to win the title.DD
I stand corrected Brute, Esquivel was the fifth best Mexican bantamweight. Esquival won the eliminater by beating Garcia who is rated No. 108 bantamweight in the world and the sixteenth best Mexican bantamweight.
