    yeah exactly. If world class is a top rated guy it think exceptional is fair to describe those who make the number one spot, like you say though, its just semantics

    Exceptional, IMO, is reserved for the very best 'World class' fighters.

    Nishioka was not that, he was bloody good, fair whack with the left hand, could fight, could box a bit, but not exceptional.

    Indeed, it is just arguing semantics, but still......

    I wouldn't expect an Orientel to push it. Nishioka is done IMO.

    he could well be, I don't like writing a guy off after one bad fight but time will tell.

    No, I mean in terms of looking at Oriental fighters historically. Very unlikely his mentality will carry on, enough instances of them chucking it in after a single loss, at his age, outclassed, dropped, he's done I reckon.

    I'm not judging him.

    We know now that Gomez would’ve boxed Nonito’s head off.

    Gomez would have given Nonito a terrible beating.
