On the topic of winning a belt in another weight class, did you see that Choco said he's gonna test the waters at Bantamweight and go from there? Crazy.

Santiago vs Nakatani reminded me how we dissected frogs in high school.

Anyone who still thinks Naoya is the only elite boxer from Japan needs to wake up. Inoue bros, Ioka, Nakatani, Tanaka, Shigeoka bros just to name a few.

Japan has a bunch of killers in the lower weight divisions

 

[battouter]

tko body shot in rd 9 takuma wins

I don't follow boxing like I used to and am almost completely naive to these lower weights. But damn, this was an impressive showing by the Japanese fighters. I think Nakatani is a step above Takuma and if they fight it will not be good for the Inoue brother.

Nakatani vs. Naoya would be very intriguing down the road.

 

[Hagler]

Speed kills. Props to Takuma for stiking to the inside fighting when most would have thought he was fighting Ancajas's fight. I guess he saw Ancajas was vulnerable to the body and waited to land the perfect right to the liver. This is some clean work right here.

They're not promoted in Western markets so people are just going to look at them as scrubs. Took a while for Monster to get proper recognition and the guy was a stud for god knows how long.
