    I like Harada by a stoppage. I think he'd outmaneuver and outwork Galaxy. I see Galaxy getting hit with a lot of right hands and stopped maybe around 12.

    Harada - H2H he is formidable at 118

    Galaxy always has a punchers chance because he can really crack !

    But Harada had better skills: inside and outside ability, footwork, combinations...... Galaxy was too static to avoid punches from a prime Harada...with his ferocious work rate.....Harada by TKO

    the jab harada displayed in both fighters with jofre is one of the greatest i've seen. i honestly feel he'd dismantled galaxy's aggression and wide punches with straight punches down the pipe and control the fight entirely with the jab on the outside and as vic above me said, bombard him inside with superior workrate

    Yeah, you'd have to assume Harada employs the right tactics in this one given what he's up against. He got taken out by Medal through a simple lapse of awareness at the wrong time. Galaxy wasn't really the kind of counter-puncher that Medal was capable of being, more of a plodding straight shooter with beastly physical tools. I don't think Harada would find himself in much trouble unless he got completely careless, which I don't think he would. Give me the best Harada by clear decision.

    bollocks, i so want to say galaxy but unless harada as others has said gets way to careless he has the better footwork by a country mile also balance ,workrate and all round boxing ability to win this

    I don't see it when people say Khaosai Galaxy is straight up or slow, he may not have explosive feet, but he is by no means a plodder, In my view, he has decent hand speed, he has every punch in the book, uppercuts, body shots, straight left, great combinations, great at setting up big punches, great timing and great balance and decent counterpunching, I don't see what others see

    Sure, if you’re comparing him to the big, fat, unskilled modern fighters you like to watch.

    I don't watch anyone who is fat and unskilled and I certainly don't know of any fat super flyweights
