Naoya Inoue vs. Murodjon Kakharovich Akhmadaliev & Yoshiki Takei vs. Christian Medina Jimenez RBR.

KO´d via headbutt, ouch. It looks bad too, I hope he is OK.

Boxing in Japan is going through a dark period.

 

Unconscious from a headbutt. Surprised we don't see that more often in this sport.

 

Completely accidental but dang...

 

Boxing is the absolute best if you live in the Philippines.

The American start time starts at 10 AM and then the Japanese start time starts at 4 pm.

maybe I might jack the thread and do RBR.

the rest of you guys are troopers for staying up this late.

 

I know that isn't the point and life and health is the most important thing but is it NC for Matsumoto? Or win?.

 

Yeah, southpaw vs. orthodox the danger is always there. Doesn't help that Takada kept slinging himself inside.

 

Title remains vacant?

 

It´s 12AM here, but I pulled an all nighter to catch the 7AM Canelo fight.

I did take a quick 50 minute power nap tho, right before the Canelo fight.

 

Okay, since it made it to 5R it is official and it was a matter of time but Matsumoto must feel shitty that this is how he wins.

 

It made it past full 4R so official they just said.

 

Official cards:

50-46
50-45 x2

UTD for Matsumoto

 

Not the most satisfying way to become champ for sure, but I do think Matsumoto stopping Takada in the second half was inevitable.

 

Or maybe he's not that good.
