First thing I looked at on the internet today. Paul Fuji was sort of a lower case, Japanese version of Jose Pipi Cuevas. All power, all the time, serious as ****, knock your head off your shoulders, break your jaw and put you in the hospital type of power. He had complete disdain for the puny, weak noodle power of Champion Sandro Lopopopopolo and almost knocked the Italian's head off his shoulders. His next defense was vs German ritual sacrifice Willi Quator. He flattened the German challenger with a bomb of a shot...a Ring magazine reporter called it "one of the hardest punches,...one of the cleanest knockouts that I've ever seen". It seemed that Fuji was going to be Jr. Welterweight champion for a very long time....I mean, what could go wrong???
The trouble with Paul Takeshi Fuji was that he could knock the hell out of anything that he could hit.
Evil stoppage. You've got to doff your cap to old Fuji, he was more or less entirely unskilled. Just an angry, angry man with two mjolnirs on the ends of his arms.
