Yaoita, the number one world ranked flyweight, came into the ring weighing 120 pounds to Jofre's 121. He gave Jofre a good workout and was able to hold his own against a vastly superior fighter for nine rounds, and actually win a few of them in the process. But as the rounds wore on Jofre started to find the range with his deadly left hook. In the tenth and final round, Jofre landed solidly and Yaoita went down like he was shot. Then, to everyone's amazement, he got up at seven. But Jofre was not to be denied. He fired a short but devastating left hook to the jaw. Ten seconds later it was all over.
