Condes: New IBF Strawweight champ!
“His punches were as hard as stone. Luckily I had good durability in round three, so I could go on fighting,” said Rachman. “Round ten when I was knocked down for the second time, I was sloppy in my defense, it shouldn’t happen.” Rachman also told to this correspondent that he was surprised with Condes’ power, and that Condes could punch so hard from awkward angles. “A rematch is one possibility, otherwise Rachman must fight in an eliminator fight to get his mandatory status,” said Martinez dos Santos, Rachman’s manager. “We'll talk about a rematch after this.”
Until this minute, Condes’ camp hasn’t signed anything for the rematch option asked by Rachman. “We’ll let Condes enjoy his victory first," said Aljoe Jaro, Condes’ manager. "After then we hopefully can reply Rachman’s request soon.” On a separate occassion, Lindsey E. Tucker, the match supervisor, informed the press that the new champion Condes had 9 months before his mandatory fight became due. If the rematch can't happen soon, Rachman will have to fight in a eliminator bout to earn his mandatory challenger status.
