    Sasaki is a total can. Zero defense, and 2 divisions smaller in the ring. Total mismatch fight. Sick of these domestic japanese fighters getting hyped.

    Brutal clean KO. Sasaki should've stayed with the keep your hands up approach in the pocket instead of dropping them at range. I immediately thought that was a bad idea but I didn't think Sasaki would've been punished for doing it a few seconds later.

    I had a strong feeling Norman was going to win after I watched the weigh in. Norman looked drained and Sasaki look a bit soft. That natural size, better fundamentals, and power was decisive.

    Norman gets away with a lot of holding you in position with his left hand to line up the right hand. Even in Japan he did.

    Notice how there was 1 Japanese judge, 1 American and one neutral judge and a neutral ref? All the officials for Inoue vs Fulton in Japan were from neutral countries as they were for both Haney vs Kambosos fights in Australia. Funny that, eh? Rules for thee but not for me

    Well, relatively speaking that is. I don't think he is elite or anything like it, I just expected him to have a far tougher time today.

    Then you greatly overestimated his opponent for some reason. He could have gotten him out there in 1 round if he wanted.

    But Norman Jr was disrespectful this is not the mentally of a champion he didn't see if Jin Sasaki was okay, and his father say f** that s*** just near Sasaki who was unconscious.

    Norman Jr made that look easy. Just couldn't miss a punch, although that also says more about Sasaki's non-existent defense. Had a feeling Sasaki was going to be the one on the receiving end of a brutal KO but didn't expect it to be this one sided.

    Brian Norman Jr has the goods and could be on his to be the next top dog, especially now that Boots is moving up. A shame that Norman ducked Boots the first time but maybe at some point he'll also move up and perhaps challenge him.

    Watch the whole fight from beginning to end he did nothing disrespectful . He gave nothing but the utmost respect to his opponent and to Japan even talked about he wanted to come back. Now his father, that’s another story.

    I watched an opponent who's defense made Mungia look like Mayweather, I don't think he moved his head to block a single punch, so not sure how beating on him is impressive. Normal didn't prove anything here to me, was a waste of time vs C level at best opponent who was much smaller. I'm not sure what you saw that impressed you exactly.

    Going to another country and landing the perfect left hook that’s a little bit impressive.
