Jiro Watanabe gains an extra 3 lbs. How does he do? He could be facing the likes of: Lupe Pintor Alberto Davila Daniel Zaragoza Jorge Lujan Julian Solis Jeff Chandler Richie Sandoval Jeff Fenech Satoshi Shingaki Among others at the World level for the belt depending on when he moved up, along with some strong world rankers and former champs. How does he do?
I think the only one he really does poorly against is Fenech. Against the others he has good to great chances.
I agree rough. I think he could maybe struggle late on against Pintor too but would possibly have enough of a lead to hold Pintor off. Him vs Chandler and Davila would be great fights for the purist.
He's definitely got the talent for it. Is whether he can be ****ed to do so. He would have to be near his best condition against these guys. A Davila bout would be awesome. I think Davilas technical pressure would bother Jiro at first, but Watanabe would find his groove as always, and slowly change the momentum with his great feet and superior firepower.
