    Can't think of a Pacman's match on HBO vs an Asian.

    Where did Pacific Islanders originate?

    My apologies for thinking they originated from southeast asia.

    Also look up lapita pottery/polynesian textile patterns.

    I think you will see there is an obvious pattern of dispersal.

    That was a chance for Nishioka to show the world Japanese fighters can be special. They've taken a lot of heat for not taking risks in America. Nice going, Nishy. I'm very disappointed as I was rooting for you and your countrymen. The loss is not a big deal; it's the fact that you fought scared.

    I like Nishioka a lot, he's had a fantastic career, and has never been afraid to fight away from Japan. I too was very disappointed in his effort tonight, so utterly defensive from the opening bell. Strange from a man who said a Donaire fight was what kept him from retirement. I do wonder if having a tuneup fight earlier this year might have helped, at least it would have removed ring rust from the equation. Still, props, I guess, for coming to America again to fight. I still have much respect for him.
