    This guyhas some nice fights up, such as Davey Moore - Tadashi Mihara and Shoji Oguma - Chan Hee Park, but I haven't yet figured out all of the fights. Any helping identifying the fighters in the clips below is appreciated:

    "Oriental"? What century is this?

    Did I miss something? Is that now a derogatory term? It's synonymous with Far East. I'm sure it's less insulting than suggesting Francois Botha knocks out Jack Johnson ;-)

    As a term for fighters in the OPBF, it's certainly accurate :huh

    Some people find it offensive, but I could give **** about their sensitivities.

    I just find it funny.

    And yes, Francois KO's him in a grueling 11 rounds.

    I'm not familiar with this Morrissey character, but hold on while I ask my Chinese girlfriend.

    Thanks for the Ohba footage. I was trying to find more of him. He's impressive.

    I can help with a few at the moment.

    In the 4th clip you posted, the first fight is of Harada and Kingpetch, the second is of Harada and Jofre.

    In the 5th clip, I believe it is Kuniaki Shibata vs Raul Rojas.

    In the 6th clip, you have a bunch of wierd Japanese commercials for the most part.

    In the last clip it is indeed Ohba, notably against the Thai Berkrerk Chartvanchai.

    I've never been so offended, you racist bugger. "Chinese girlfriend"...This is ESB not the KKK. Take your hate elsewhere, my friend.


    ...:lol: But seriously, I only mentioned Morrissey because I thought Seamus' original comment was funny.

    Yeah, bottom one is Ohba Vs Chionoi (without looking at the vid and just taking a look at a still)

    Ohba is f'n awesome; what a jab, able to mix in a Harada-esque blitzkrieg when he wants too as well.

    First fight is Shigeo nakajima winning the jr Fly belt.Very tidy fighter who was promptly dethroned and beaten twice by the young Hilario Zapata.Worth watching.

    The next ones look like Katsuo Tokashiki to me, but without checking boxrec i couldn't tell you who against for sure.I haven't watched any of the handful of fights i have of him for years.

    Thanks Lora. I'll check out Nakajima. And I suspect you're right about Tokashiki. In another clip he actually had 'K. Tokashiki' written on his robe. All of the writing in these clips are in Japanese.

    I was able to find a Shoji Oguma fight from '81 on this channel and also Davey Moore vs Tadashi Mihara, which I hadn't seen before. I've yet to check the Ohba footage to see if I've seen it before. Good stuff.
