How good is Toshiaki Nishioka ??

Pretty good. Solid technically but somewhat predictable. Very big puncher. I think there's a decent chance he blows out Munroe early, but if he doesn't, then I think Munroe's awkwardness, relentlessness and stamina could give Nishioka some problems late.

 

if he's as good as his two draws with thai legend veeraphol suggest, then he's very good indeed.

 

looks to throw the straight left up the pipe alot.

watched his fight against Jhonny Gonzalez, carries decent power and it was a brutal KO.

With the right game plan he could be outboxed providing you have a good defence.

 

Solid technically, as said before.

He also to me is a very good ring general. He sort of stays just on the fringes of your range and can controll it very well and his power makes anyone think twice about trying to set the pace.

Walk forwared and he will catch you and destroy you, he is P4P perhaps the hardest puncher in the world.

 

last couple of rounds of a fight he had about a year ago

alot better than rendall
clear points win ..........too fast too slick

 

I hadn't seen any of his fights until recently, but **** me he's slick. Don't think Munroe has much of a chance, but would love it if he won.

 

on that video I don't think he looks that impressive personally

 

He'll win the first five rounds, Munroe will come on in the middle rounds, but Nishioka will take it down the stretch IMO. On poitns in a great fight, he's the best 122lber out there at the mo'.

 

good feet, fast hand and has a very hard bang.

The only glimmer of hope for Rendall is that Toshiaki was totally outboxed by Sahaprom, but the bad news is that its was six years ago and Rendall isnt really a classy technical boxer and is more of a workrate fighter.

Make no mistake, if Rendall wins out there then it is a much bigger achievement than Burns over Martinez.

 

It all depends on how Rendall starts.

If he's still in a coma for the first four rounds like he's been the last couple of fights it's very plausible that he gets banged out early, even though he's never shown anything resembling a shaky chin.

If he comes out warmed up and competes early on, he can steal some of the mid rounds say from 4 to 9 before the Jap comes on again..... then it's how he responds. Can't recall him gassing before, but can't recall him fighting someone as good as this either.

Would love to see him do it, he's earned his shot the hard way and is fighting the best fighter in the division in his own backyard..... but ultimately see him dropping a 9-3/8-4 decision and coming out with plenty of credit.

After that I see him moving up to feather and making noises at Euro level before falling short again.

 

He has excellent ring craft and controls the fight by doing very little. He appears very economical and seems to launch his heavier punchers from out of range whilst keeping his opponent away with his jab. The first few minutes are a little deceiving in that clip. He looks a good counterpuncher.
Munroe's going to really have to do a number on this guy if he's to win.

 

The clip is deceiving mate. He's class. Look at him blast out Jhonny Gonzalez on youtube. :good

 

That video was the first time I have seen him so I will look at more videos before making a full judgement, really hope Munroe beats him
