Hozumi "Ace of Japan" Hasegawa

Dude I don't remember what happened last week let alone last decade... but I do remember a lot of budiiiies thrown around in 144p opposite-of-legal online casts. Good times!

 

I can relate with you IB, I'm a Hasegawa fan myself. Actually I remember that I was very excited to watch him live on my computer back in the day.

Too bad it was against Montiel.

 

Make it your duty to watch all his other fights!!

 

A great fighter and an even greater man.

His explosive fighting style attested to his spirit. If you want to see a machine gun heart, look no further. Legend.

Harada, Tatsuyoshi and Hasegawa are my Japanese 'Big Three'.

 

Hasewaga-san was also the prime example of a skilled Japanese top fighter with defensive deficiencies. I've seen fighters crack through Nishioka-sama's, Uchiyama-senpai's or Yamanaka-chan's defenses with equal destruction, some use too wide a stance and often paw with the jab rather than sticking it up ur nose.

Inoue-kun himself is imperfect on the defenses, his luck is a top notch chin, but will face bigger, younger, busier elite guys and may not escape without damages to self and record. Hozumi never really managed to tighten up those deficiencies and lost many fights while comfortable ahead on the cards and favored at the bookies. Inoue should work on that D namsayin.
