    15 rounds at 118. I've got Harada knocking out Chandler who's leading on the scorecards. Thoughts?

    I agree, except the scores would be close, probably with Harada possibly ahead slightly. And Chandler at his best more likely goes to decision.

    Now I know why @PhillyPhan69 hates me and my horse.

    Harada overwelms Chandler in 2 rounds. Watch the 1st rd of Chandler vs. Sandoval which is in Chandlers absolute prime after the Muniz fight. He almost gets stopped in 1. Harada swarms and finishes the job in 2.

    Just watch the trouble Chandler had with an intelligent, well-schooled, aggressive boxer-puncher in Oscar Muniz and you shudder to think what a truly great version of a fighter such as that would do to him. Like a Harada, for example.

    Harada by late stoppage.

    Harada was a class above Chandler.

    He'd completely overwhelm him.

    Chandler was a good fighter, Harada was a great 118 pounder

    If no other accomplishments of his makes his case, then Masahiko Fighting Harada made his case by beating the great Eder Jofre TWICE.....and Proved that he was a

    As much as I like Chandler, Harada's at an elite level, Chandler's a bit short of that.

    Harada by decision in a much closer fight than people think.
