Nakamura is down to fight this guy in May: http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=360607&cat=boxer Probably not as tough a fight as his last one, but at it rating of 66 on boxrec, his record is better than it seems. Another knock out for the hard hitting Japanese man? :think
Don't know a whole awful lot about him, but I have been keeping an eye on him for his last two fights.. He can still learn a lot and I think he'll be a pretty good fighter down the road..
That kid Tanada might have Japanese ( nihongo blood) coz his name is japanese. But he is 18 years old but that Nakamura ass was on the mat and shaky. That's for sure. Allan tanada is a Southern boy from Zamboanga, Mindanao.
Actually, japanese sounds a bit like a cross with filo words and Chinese words. Which leads me to suspect that brown people use to inhabit some parts of that Island of Japan it's just a hunch the proximity between the islands of japan and other Islands in the pacific it is possible to reach the land of the rising sun by SEA it would not surprise me if some evidence will be found that a brown population existed in JAPAN a long time ago.
Worth keeping an eye on. Whether or not the title counts as "taking the ****" depends entirely on your view of Edwin Valero. Personally, I think Valero gets pretty overrated (especially posthumously) and wasn't necessarily bound for all that much more than what he did manage to accomplish...so calling an on-the-rise blitzkrieg knockout artist in the lower weight divisions "the next him" isn't exactly a far-reaching compliment.
Fight is next week. Can anyone who is clued in to the Japanese scene tell us if this could possibly be televised? Koki Kameda is fighting on the card so I'd say there is a good chance it will be.
