    @118lbs, 12 rounds, if you're interested in rules think Marciano's era.

    Taller, rangier and clearly the puncher, the Japanese definitely has advantages here.

    Smaller, weirder, much more brilliant, a genuinely world class fighter, but boxing in his second best division. So who you got in this mental clash of cultures?

    With what you've specified, I think Wolgast could pull a decision. He was still very dynamic at bantam, and Haegawa always had a defensive naivety when on the offense, which I think Wolgast could exploit. From what I've seen of the Zurita bout, Wolgast showed exceptional control on and around the inside, and had the tools and speed to box outside and work his way in.

    Hasegawa would be in it all the way, though. He really was a force.

    Bump for the amazingly spirited Hasegawa. Awesome guy. His wins over Veeraphol were special indeed.
