Mijares, a Mexican pro fighter, now owns both WBC super flyweight title and the WBA title by beating WBA champion, Alexander Muñoz at Auditorio Centenario, Durango, Maxico on May 17th. The split decisions were from Judge Burt Clements 116-111, Judge Marty Sammom 116-112 and Judge Gustavo Padilla 113-115.
So his record right now is…won 35 (KO 14) + lost 3 + drawn 2 = 40

What he said after the match was he thought it was a great match, he couldn’t explain how he felt, Alexander Muñoz (won 32 (KO 27, quite number) + lost 3 = 35) was the admirable opponent, and he was proud of what he did and would have to try harder. And he claimed that he almost lost twice in that match. However he finally won.
His earlier fight this year was in Las Vegas. He won over Jose Navarro via split decision also.
For Alexander Muñoz, he wasn’t easy to beat. He received WBA super flyweight title by beating a Japanese boxer, Nobuo Nashiro in Japan in May last year. He also won two other fights after that in Japan until he met Mijares.
Comparing to those two he won over, Mijares has more experiences in the ring. But he’s still young in the game. I believe he can improve more. His future’s still awaiting. We’ll have to wait and see how far this fighter can go.
