Unbeaten WBA 105 Lbs World Champion Thammanoon Niyomtrong (18-0, 7 KO's) of Thailand and tough️ Nicaragua challenger Byron "Gallito" Rojas (25-3-3, 11 KO's) made identical weight of 104.5 pounds ahead of their 12 rounder title clash tomorrow Thursday (Nov 29) in Chonburi,️ Kingdom of Thailand.
In addition to weigh-in, the fighters passed with flying colors their medical check.
Blood pressure: Niyomtrong 138/80, Rojas 128/87.
Pulse: Niyomtrong 65/minute, Rojas 56/minute.
The clash is a rematch of their battle two and half years ago in which the Niyomtrong - known in Thailand as Knockout CP Freshmart - dethroned "El Gallito" Rojas in a highly competitive, fast-paced, close fight in the City of Khon Kaen in northeastern Thailand.
Both 28 year-old men are experienced world-class fighters among the very best in the minimumweight division.
Will the undefeated Thai, fighting in his backyard, outmaneuver the experienced Nicaraguan one more time? Or will "El Gallito" Rojas claim back his WBA belt to give his native Nicaragua another world title in boxing?
The WBA ring officials for the clash are referee Rafael Ramos of Puerto Rico. Judges in ringside Fransicso Martinez of New Zealand, Uriel Aguilera of Colombia and Raul Caiz Jr. of California USA. Supervisor Won Kim of the Republic of Korea.
