    Daigo Higa is a 20 year old Flyweight with a 10-0 10 KO's record. Born in Urasoe, Okinawa, Japan and fighting out of Tokyo, Japan. This little guy is vicious, he puts his head down and walks his opponents down grinding away at them from the opening bell. That's not to say he lacks skill, he works behind his jab quit efficiently and has a decent peek a boo defense, he's fairly solid all around. The majority of his early matches was against no namers but when he stepped up and took on the very talented solid prospect Kongfah CP Freshmart in a back and forth slugfest low level Fight Of The Year contender, and won by stoppage and picked up the vacant WBC Youth World Flyweight title with the win. That proved he's pretty legit and a force to be reckoned with in the Flyweight Divisions, how far will he go? That remains to be seen, maybe Kongfah was a hypejob, but in my personal opinion he isn't, so I rate that as a good win, he's still pretty young and they shouldn't rush him into a match with anyone too dangerous too soon, especially with his come forward pressure fighting style, but I think he can manage some mid level guys for the next year or so. Sidenote he's come out to Enter Sandman, that's badass. Check Out Daigo The Okinawan War Machine.:ggg:ggg:ggg:ggg

    For those who are unaware a Sprite is also an elf like creature, not just a soft drink.:D

    The Japanese press have started calling him the "Romagon of Okinawa"

    "Romagon" is what they call Roman Gonzalez (contracting the name), so Higa is the Roman Gonzalez of Okinawa

    Romagon is horrible in spite of it sounding cool, I can't stand that, its always annoyed me that Chagaev was nicknamed The White Tyson as well.

    Jhonny Gonzalez is "Jonigon", thankfully there is no "Jonigan of Aichi" or anything like that

    He completely battered Oliveros yesterday, be weeks until we get the video I guess :(
    He look great from the opening bell, dropped Oliveros 4 times in round 2 and the referee finally saw enough. He's now hoping to fight for the JBC or OPBF titles in Summer.

    Battered Diale on Saturday to claim OPBF title, now targeting a world title fight before the year is over!

    Interesting that he once came out to Enter Sandman but now uses Conquistador (which he has inherited from mentor Yoko Gushiken) by Maynard Ferguson.

    This guy is the real deal in my eyes. Completely destructive power but needs time to become the complete fighter
