    God, I'm ****ing tired of Pacquiao/Mayweather threads, though I'm sure that won't end for months and months and months.

    Hasegawa kicked some ass last night, and according to RingTV.com he's moving up to 122 and maybe 126 to challenge Chris John.

    I'd like to see Hasegawa fight at least once at a higher weight to see how he does before he goes for John. That seems obvious. Then again, I'm drunk, so who knows.

    In any case, Hozumi is awesome and this fight is exciting as ****. Thoughts?

    i'm drunk too and it sounds great. john is thoroughly beatable from every fight i've seen. great, great fighter but so many fundamental flaws

    Rocky Juarez staggered the **** out of him at the end of their last fight and Hasegawa is SO accurate, I can see him landing way more than Juarez did, even if he doesn't have as much power. But who knows whether he would at higher weights?

    true true. ALL juarez has is power and he managed to land. i don't see a knockout but a HOF reel performance on john. i like chris john enough but he's just an awkward, workrate fight whose flaws can be taken advantage of
