Ishida 206lbs and Fujimoto 232.6lbs Big difference and BOTH are coming in at a career high http://www.asianboxing.info/5/post/2014/04/weights-from-kamikaze-3.html
Does anybody know if this will be televised or not? I really want to watch this, one of the more interesting freakshow match ups in recent years. Japanese boxing events usually aren't televised unless a world title is on the line, usually I have to watch the fights on YouTube or Dailymotion a few days later.
TBS in one specific region are apparently showing it, TBS2 will be showing it on tape delay in the next week...some some, very limited, TV coverage
Ishida looks good, really put on that weight well, look at his Neck and Forearm. Still big size difference though.
...back in Joe Louis's day... An interesting little tidbit, Ali was 206 when he beat Liston in the rematch and Joe Louis was 206 when he beat Natie Brown in his fight before beating Braddock
