    Ryu Iwasa. Only loss to Yamanaka in one of 2011's better fights, and has improved since then.

    Michel Soro. Only loss to Baysangurov (in a fight I thought he won). Has dominated the European scene since then, but has shown enough skills to be able to stay with pretty much anyone he might meet at 154 (Mayweather-Alvarez winner excepted).

    Bit of a common theme with Japenese fighter being underrated. Going of the scores Iwasa beat De La Mora as comfortably as Moreno did.

    Haven't seen the Soro- Baysangurov fight but Baysangurov is also a bit of an unsung star himself.

    I'd say Allakhverdiev and Shafikov are underrated gems too.

    Although he won't be a secret this time next week after he beats Wlodarczyk, Rakhim Chakhkiev, and he does get some hype from the hardcore, could face anyone at Cruiserweight- Hernandez, Huck, Jones, Eddie Chambers and beat them.

    Shafikov for sure; Khabib is starting to gain a bit attention after defeating Guzman, which is why I didn't immediately mention him.

    Gilberto Ramirez Sanchez. 6'2'' southpaw middleweight youth champ. Deals with everyone with ease, ranked 30ish on Boxrec but beat upshaw better than rubio did. Looks promising....

    I don't give a damn how the refs scored the fight Ruslan Provandokinov was robbed vs Timothy Bradley


    One more round that fool was going to sleep. Timmy was done for, he took a sensational beating, got a concussion and a trip to the hospital

    Look Ive had enough of Bradley getting a hometown decision and avoiding Khan.

    The ref missed two clear knock downs vs Ruslan. In the 1st and 6th rounds Bradley was dropped and with those extra points Ruslan is the winner on the offical score cards.

    Demetrius Andrade rarely gets mentioned, not being a TR or a GB fighter might explain this. Heard he was Angulo's main sparring partner for Lara. He's got a title fight against Baysangurov soon, which i think he'll win.
