Notes: 105 can often be a volatile division, in spite of Wanheng Menayothin sitting on top for a long time now, and we’ve seen that recently with two new titleholders crowned in at least mild upsets. First, we had Wilfredo Mendez beating Vic Saludar to win the WBO title, and this past weekend it was 22-year-old Filipino Pedro Taduran beating previously-undefeated countryman Sammy Salva to win the vacant IBF belt. Taduran came off the canvas in the first round to stop Salva after four. He had previously challenged Wanheng for the WBC title last August, losing the standard decision in Thailand. I also decided to drop former titleholder Carlos Licona for now — he last fought in July at flyweight, which may have been a one-off tune-up sort of thing, but there WAS a minor title on the line, so it could be more than that. 29-year-old Filipino Lito Dante may not have the most impressive W-L record, but he’s the OPBF champ, having stopped previously-unbeaten Tsubasa Koura in an upset on Mar. 31 in Yokohama. Kriel is moving up at some point, too, so when that happens someone else slides in. We’ll see then.
