Raymundo Beltran entered this fight with a professional boxing record of 29-7-1 (17 knockouts) and he is ranked as the No.9 super lightweight in the world. He fought twice last year beating Arash Usmanee (=Beltran vs Usmanee) but then he lost to #1 Terence Crawford (=Crawford vs Beltran).
His opponent, the former Wbc Fw and super-fw champion Takahiro Ao, has an official record of 27-3-1 (12 knockouts) and he entered as the No.20 lightweight. He suffered his last defeat in 2012 when he faced Gamaliel Diaz, since then he has won four bouts beating Juan Carlos Salgado in his last fight. Beltran vs Ao is valid for the vacant WBO World lightweight title (title on the line for Ao only because Beltran missed weight). Watch the video and rate this fight!

2011 BOXING fight – Takahiro Ao vs Devis Boschiero – full fight Video WBC title
Review: 2011-11-06, balanced fight but not good for eight rounds but from the ninth Devis Boschiero surprisingly has more energy than the defending champion Takahiro Ao, the Italian wins the latest four rounds but inexplicably two judges give the win to the Japanese. Takahiro Ao (21-2-1) entered as the No.3 super featherweight in the world while Devis Boschiero (29-0-1) entered as the No.59 (but after this fight, even if the Italian lost it, he is ranked No.19, probably someone noticed the error of the judges). Takahiro Ao vs Boschiero was valid for the WBC super featherweight title. Watch the video!
