Billy Dib might actually shock the world and knock Miura out tomorrow

If Evgeny was a natural at 130 it'd be much more competitive than it is

 

Just promise to hold my hand if they ever fight and he does get KO'd.

 

I've seen the fights, I'm just choosing to look the other way.

 

Whats worth noting about Miura Vs Uchiyama is Miura wasn't even with a well established gym back then, his performance saw Teiken taking an interesting and signing him 6 months later. Prior to then he was with Yokohama Hikari (a good gym but not a top one)

 

Jesus I have a long way to go to get to know the Japanese scene half as well as you Boxing Prospect.

 

I blame Taka for most the stuff I know. Always happy to share my knowledge on stuff about the Japanese scene.

 

Can you give me the top 5-10 guys I've probably never heard of?

 

Dib couldnt knock the froff off a cuppacino

 

Active?
Shohei Omori
Ken Shiro
Sho Nakazawa
Kosei Tanaka (might have heard of him, stand out prospect)
Rikki Naito (fights Arakawa next time out)
Suguru Muranaka
Masayoshi Nakatani (fights at 135)
Takuya Kogawa (probably heard of him but he's hard not to like)
Hideo Sakamoto (a bit of a hidden gem)
Shun Kubo
Hikaru Marugame
Keita Obara (one of the hardest punchers P4P in the country)

Not sure which of those you've heard of

 

Thanks! More than half these guys are new to me. Should they all be easy enough to find on YouTube? Time to hit the tape!

 

For footage I'd head straight to the Asianboxing video section I know they have a fair bit of-
Omori
Ken Shiro (Full career I think)
Nakazawa
Tanaka (Full career and some amateur stuff)
Naito
Muranaka (Plenty of bouts)
Nakatani (most notable bouts)
Kogawa (some of his most notable bouts)
Obara (most of his bouts)

The others seem to be harder to see

 

Thanks man! Really appreciate the help :good

 

I've yet to come across any footage at all of Shun Kubo, was always hoping his fight with Luis May would hit the next but it seems to be a no-no. Taka said he looked and couldn't find it either.

Surely we'll come across some sometime soon but nothing yet

 

So...it took Miura 3 rounds to finish Dib lol
