    I have to say that I feel Olivares would wreck Harada. He is the consummate boxer-puncher; excellent judge of distance, power in both fists, every punch in the book, a superb jab and a master of judging the distance.

    He would be able to jab with Harada, which is very important. And as Harada was a master of keeping his man off balance, Olivares’ patience and ability to get in, out and around would be vital.

    There’s a chance Harada can drag Olivares into deep waters, but Medel kept him smart and even hurt him in the final round.

    Based on that superlative performance of Harada's in that 1st fight with Jofre, I'll go with him over Ruben by 15 round decision. Harada's jab was working like magic in that 1st Jofre fight...and he beats Olivares with room to spare IMO.

    It’s not often I go against Olivares, but I agree. I think Harada takes a close/clear (if that is possible in boxing lol) decision.

    Bump.
    Absolute barnburner of a fight. I favor Olivares more so due to his crushing power.
