(AUG 3) Nothing would please me any more than to write up some great and glorious fight report on these title bouts that seems to continue to take place in the sport. 

But unfortunately as they say,  "It is...what it is".  So with that said,  I will report the results and stats of this title fight that took place on July 30, 2011, at the Deportivo Trabajadores del Metro, Iztacalco, Mexico.

On this date, Maria Salinas, 104¼, 22, of McAllen, Texas, won the vacant WBC "Youth" World light flyweight title, when her opponent, Tania Cosme, 105, unknown age,  retired in the fifth round. The bout was scheduled for 10 rounds.

Tale of the tape for ratings and boxing records of these two:

Salinas came into the fight with a 8-1-1 record. Cosme, 2-1-1 (0KO) record. Salinas is ranked #11 and Cosme, ranked #34 with Boxrec.

[I will not get into the fact that Salinas fought in the same month against Esmeralda Moreno for another WBC title, losing that bout, just prior to fighting in this WBC Title bout.]

This was a rematch for Salinas and Cosme, whereas in their first fight, Cosme lost by a six-round unanimous decision.

Cosme's boxing record going into the championship fight: Well...beside the one previous loss to Salinas, the breakdown of her record is as follows:

Cosme defeated Yazmin Marin, 1-0-1, and Isabel Mejia, winless at 0-1-0, and she had one draw against Yazmin Marin, 1-0-0.   With only four pro fights on her resume, Cosme managed to earn a chance at a world title youth championship. 

Next, one might ask: How do these two rate within the WBC organization they were fighting for?

Response: In the WBC ratings, in the July 2011 ratings, Salinas is ranked #22 as a light flyweight, and Cosme is not ranked. 

You figure it out folks....WBAN can't.
