Latest Boxing News

Some of the big name fighters from super flyweight have moved up to bantamweight in recent years, including the likes of Vic Darchinyan and Nonito Donaire, just to name a few. But the division is still stocked, so take a look at the latest super flyweight division rankings below.

Super flyweight division rankings last updated April 2011

1. Hugo Cazares – After losing two fights at junior flyweight to Ivan Calderon – his only two losses of the last decade - Cazares has been all over the map fighting as high as super bantamweight. Super flyweight is home though, and he has defeated Nobuo Nashiro and then strung off three successful title defenses of the WBA strap he won in that bout.
2. Omar Andres Narvaez - Narvaez is one of the most underrated fighters in the sport. The longtime flyweight champion is now venturing into the waters of 115 lbs, and has already captured the WBO title. He had held the WBO flyweight belt for the better part of a decade.
3. Crisitan Mijares - A three fight losing streak seemed to signal his demise, but Mijares has been on a roll in his last five fights. Five wins, three stoppages, and the IBF 115 lbs strap in his last bout against Juan Alberto Rojas.
4. Tomas Rojas – Rojas just lost to Darchinyan by 2nd round knockout, but now has put together four big wins, including a WBC title winning effort over Nobuo Nashiro in his last outing.  He's set to defend the belt in the beginning of May.
5. Nobuo Nashiro – Nashio had been on a great streak, but then ran into a few of the division's key players. He went 0-1-1 with division leader Hugo Cazares, and most recently he lost in a title bit against Tomas Rojas. But he's made strong showings in all of these outings, and he's still a top threat.
6. Juan Alberto Rosas - Rosas took the world by storm when he defeated the previously unbeaten Simphiwe Nongqayi in the middle of the 2010. He lost his belt via decision to Cristian Mijares, but is back in the winning column with his last fight.
7. Simphiwe Nongqayi - He had been undefeated, including a title win over Jorge Arce, until he ran into Juan Alberto Rosas and got stopped in the sixth round. He hasn't gotten back in the ring since that bout in July of 2010.
8. Drian Francisco - Francisco is an exciting undefeated Filipino fighter, with  a 20-0-1 record, sporting 16 knockouts. He just took home the interim WBA belt from 52-1-1 fighter Dungpetch Kokietgym, scoring a 10th round stoppage win.
9. Cesar Seda - Seda is undefeated at 20-0, and will get the opportunity and challenge of a lifetime when he gets his first title shot against one of the sport's best, Omar Narvaez. The bout is coming up in April of 2011 and offers him an instant path to the highest rungs of the division, if he can pull of the monster upset.
10. Raul Martinez – Martinez has only lost once in 25 professional fights, a stoppage loss at flyweight to Nonito Donaire. Since then he has put together four wins in a row, and would offer a legitimate challenge for some of the bigger names in the division.

Other 115 lbs Contenders: Daisuke Naito, Daiki Kameda, Evans Mbamba, Kohei Kono, Francisco Arce
