laguna. better handspeed and technical skills...also pretty good on fighting out of a clinch or an inside fight which ishimatsu only gameplan is to brawl and strike hard often which is think will mean that he will miss and get countered alot. whats your thoughts about laguna vs a pressure fighter?
This fight has already happened Vantage...Laguna stopped Ishimatsu. I think what Xplosive wants is a run down of this fight, which I havent seen. Guts was only young and probably still honing his craft though. Laguna did fine against pressure fighters...You dont get to many better at applying intelligent pressure then Carlos Ortiz and he was excellent in those bouts. The guys is one of the best overall movers I have ever seen...so fluid and quick on his feet, he could negate pressure almost effortlessly at times. But he could easily switch to aggressor and lay on the pressure himself.
guts was 16-5 at the time...i was guessing it was a prime vs prime. he wasnt the one who gave duran a tough ten rounds...anyways <read the thread title
