Shinsuke Yamanaka vs. Jose Nieves, 12 rounds @ bantamweight

 

Round 1

Nieves is running by Yamanaka with his arms crossed. Yamanaka times him with a perfect left hand on the nose after throwing a low right hook body feint. Nieves crumbles to the mat, down and out.

KO1!!

 

They're going to show Hozumi Hasegawa vs. Genaro Camargo on tape delay next.

It happened earlier; stay off Boxrec to avoid spoiling the result for yourself.

 

The result was a foregone conclusion (Nieves goes down more than a fluffer on a porn set, and not always to great punchers...) but the swiftness and brutality of it was impressive from Shin.

 

They're showing highlights of the last couple of times he got KTFO. Strange way to hype up Hasegawa. :blood

Ah, I see. They're showing an interview with him now, footage of him jogging and training - playing the comeback story angle.

I'm glad he is building his confidence back and wowing the fans at home and everything - but his opposition the last two years has SUCKED. :verysad

I wonder if he'll ever be prepared to challenge anyone world class again.

 

Wait, was that the Game of Thrones theme song playing during Hasegawa's piece?? :rofl I had the volume lowered...

 

Neither of the brothers is anywhere near as fragile as Jose "Paper Maiche" Nieves, but yeah - they would each be facing a greater danger than perhaps ever before in Yamanaka.

I could very easily picture either one getting knocked out, based on how they've reacted to punches from much less formidable opponents. (and how available they've been for those punches at times)

 

Hozumi Hasegawa vs. Genaro Camargo, 10 rounds @ featherweight

 

Odd they're showing the whole ring walks and everything, despite this being on delay.
