Introduction
Byron Rojas (29-5-3, 12 KOs) was born and raised in Nicaragua. He is currently ranked #3 Flyweight in Nicaragua, and #64 in the world by BoxRec.com. He is an exemplary fighter who has earned several title shots . When he was living in Nicaragua, in 2016 he had fought for the IBO World Minimum title and won by unanimous decision; however he was not eligible to win the title due to a technicality.
On July 25, 2025, in Atlantic City, New Jersey, Mr. Rojas lost a split decision to Andy Dominguez Velasquez. The WBC USA Silver Light Flyweight title was on the line. I feel that Rojas should have won the bout or it should have been a draw. It appeared that Byron was getting more punches in than Andy.

I have been an avid viewer of Boxing and MMA for almost three decades. Since 2001, I have enjoyed watching the UFC. I hold an academic background in Gerontology from Madonna University, and spent 25 years working across both clinical and non-clinical healthcare settings. But a lifelong passion for writing and martial arts eventually pulled me toward a new chapter. Today, I write for FightMatrix.com. Additionally, I interview professionals in the Combat Sports sector.
