Ricardo Sandoval — "El Niño ("The Kid")" to fight fans — is the reigning flyweight WBA / WBC champion — 27-2 and holding the belt everyone in the division is chasing.
The record splits almost evenly between stoppages (18) and decisions (9) — a boxer who can hurt you but doesn't need to in order to beat you.
The form line is loud: 5 straight wins, the latest over Kenshiro Teraji (Decision (Split)). Momentum like that forces the division's hand.
