    If Harada boxes like he did in Medel 2 then I'd fancy him to win a decision here.

    I remember being a teenager and being quite excited for the Ruben Olivares - Jesus Pimentel world title fight. It was on the same card as the Jose Napoles - Hedgemon Lewis welterweight clash which was another fight I was very interested in. Both Olivares and Pimentel had a ton of wins and very few losses. From that time on I thought Pimentel was a great fighter ....... until BoxRec came along. His career record was 75-7 but, My God, it was full of fluff. Much like many of today's Thai fighters, Little Poison fought all sorts of novices and lesser lights. He had 67 KOs but no goof wins on his record.

    Harada, on the other hand, was the real deal. He possesses a handful of big name scalps including a pair of wins over Eder Jofre. He also had close losses to other top fighters.

    Harada was not the most powerful dude but the man could box. I will take Harada by very comfortable decision. Let's say 11 rounds to 4.
