Shoji Oguma. Oguma was a surging, pressure-fighting soutpaw with a beautiful knack in timing his rushes to cause maximum inconvenience to his opponents and the engine to stay busy throughout. A one-shot strategy and an often questionable defence saw him beaten 10 times including 4 knockouts, but when allowed to fight as his best, as is the case here, he could put on quite the show.

Betulio Gonzalez lost more than Oguma, but arguably had the better pedigree. Packing in 17 title fights over some ten years, he had a longevity that bellied his weight division's history. A canny, patient counter-puncher with a lethal right-hand he squeaked out a decision over the great Miguel Canto.

The Fight is a classic, due in the main to the clash of styles. Gonzalez, waiting and waiting for the perfect counter-punches, Oguma, vulnerable to the right-hand, and keeping steady pressure on with footwork before rushing with sporadic pressure and swarming punches. This is the third of the four meetings between the two.


My Card.

Oguma: 1,2,3,4,9,10,11,14

Gonzalez: 5,6,7,12,13,15

Even: 8

So I had it to Oguma by 8-6-1.

If you guys take the time to watch the fight i'd sure be interested to see your cards.

 

No, I don't think Gonzalez was a plodder at all. His right hand is very sharp, and he still manages to make Oguma look stupid on a couple of occasions.

I agree with you that Oguma is not a pure pressure-fighter.

 

I've answered this already.

 

Not at all lad.

He's suffering from the same disease here.

 

you're getting more and more singular.
