Chris John (44-0-2) 22KO’s vs. Daud Yordan (27-1-0) 21KO’s)
By Jim Dower: WBA Super World featherweight champion Chris John (44-0-2, 22 KO’s) will be putting his unbeaten record and World Boxing Association title on the line against Daud Cino Yordan (27-1, 21 KO’s) on April 17th at the Jakarta Trade Expo, in Jakarta, Indonesia. This figures to be a very tough fight for the 31-year-old John, as Yordan, ranked #6 WBA and #8 WBO, brings a lot of the same things that Rocky Juarez brought to the table in his tough fights with John.
By Scott Gilfoid: Celestino Caballero (34-2, 23 KO’s) moved up in weight to easily defeat Daud Cino Yordan (25-1, 19 KO’s) to win the World Boxing Association featherweight interim title on Saturday night at the BankAtlantic Center, in Sunrise, Florida. The final judges’ scores were 119-108, 119-108 and 120-107. Despite losing, Yordan showed good power and excellent hand speed. Where he blew it was by not throwing enough punches and by constantly smothering Caballero without being busy enough.
By Sam Gregory: In the co-main event undefeated Daud Cino Yordan 25-0 with 19 KO’s of Indonesia takes on Panamanian Celestino Caballero 33-2 with 23 KO’s for the interim WBA world welterweight title in a scheduled 12 round bout in the featherweight division.
Round 1 Caballero came out throwing his jab; Yordan blocked most of the shots. Caballero followed his jab with an uppercut to the body. Caballero landed several solid body shots in the round.
By Chris Williams: Perhaps the only fighter to come out shining from this Saturday’s bout in San Jose, California, was the undefeated Daud Yordan (23-0, 17 KOs), who gave super featherweight Robert Guerrero (23-1-1, 16 KOs) all he could handle until a cut above Guerrero’s right eye caused the early stoppage of the fight. The bout was stopped by the ringside doctor after a brief conversation with Guerrero at the side of the ring during which time the referee asked Guerrero if he wanted to continue.
By Chris Williams: I went into Saturday’s super featherweight matchup between former featherweight champion Robert Guerrero (23-1-1, 16 KOs) and his opponent Indonesian Daud Cino Yordan (23-0, 17 KOs) thinking that Guerrero would easily win the fight due to his power, skill, home town advantage and experience. However, the fight turned out to be the exact opposite of what I thought it would be, as Yordan showed incredible speed, excellent power and looked to be the sharper puncher of the two up until the fight was stopped due to a cut over the right eye of Guerrero in the 2nd.
