Introduction
Andy Dominguez fought Byron Rojas for the WBC USA Silver Light Flyweight Title. This took place on July 25, 2025 in Atlantic City, New Jersey. I watched this bout for the full 10 rounds when it aired. I was surprised that Dominguez won this title fight by split decision instead of Rojas.

Conclusion
While both Dominguez and Rojas are extremely great athletes, I watched the fight closely and feel that Byron Rojas should have won the WBC title shot for this event in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Indeed, it was an extraordinary bout and I truly would enjoy watching a rematch. If anything that fight was so close, it could have been a draw. I definitely do not agree with the split decision. The commentators were paying too much attention to Andy Dominguez in this matchup. Even though it was an extremely close bout, the commentators from the beginning appeared to have decided for themselves who was going to win. It is a tad bit bizarre to me when the bout was so damn close!
