Even at 31 years old, one of the tallest featherweights in boxing history somehow still squeezes his lanky body down to the division’s 126-pound limit.

Rafael Espinoza, who stands 6-foot-1, feels it’s reasonable for him to continue pursuing the title unification fights. He is frustrated, though, that he hasn’t been able to entice fellow champions Nick Ball (WBA), Stephen Fulton (WBC) or Angelo Leo (IBF) into more meaningful fights than Espinoza has won since he stopped former WBO champ Robeisy Ramirez in the sixth round of their rematch 11 months ago.

“I still feel good at this weight,” Espinoza said following his 11th-round stoppage of Arnold Khegai on Saturday night. “But before I make any decision, I want to see what offers are on the table.”

Guadalajara’s Espinoza (28-0, 24 KOs) doesn’t want to continue waiting for the chance to add featherweight crowns to his WBO belt. He’ll consider moving up to 130 pounds because there are appealing alternatives there for him, most notably the winner of the junior lightweight title unification bout between WBO champ Emanuel Navarrete and IBF champ Eduardo “Sugar” Nunez on February 28 at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona.

For now, Espinoza will savor his dominant victory over Khegai. He handled the tough Ukrainian-born contender in the way the wide odds suggested he would, until Khegai’s trainer, Marvin Samodio, determined his battered fighter shouldn’t continue beyond the 10th round at Arena Coliseo in San Luis Potosi, Mexico.

In accordance with Mexican boxing regulations, Khegai was counted out 10 seconds into the 11th round.

“I’m happy because I got the result that I expected, which is a victory,” Espinoza said. “I also wanted to put on a show for the people. I could’ve kept my distance all night, but I wanted to give a show, as always.”

Espinoza engaged with Khegai rather than fighting from a distance, which would’ve made matters easier against an opponent seven inches shorter. His aggression enabled Khegai (23-3-1, 14 KOs) to land his fair share of flush punches, but he also ate countless right uppercuts from Espinoza and couldn’t gain any momentum.

Khegai had so much swelling above his left eye that it became very difficult for him to see.

“I know that nobody has ever stopped him before, and I’m the first to do that,” Espinoza said. “He’s a powerful fighter, but [Saturday night] I showed that I’m better.”
