Talk about staying active. I have never seen Ishida fight, can anyone post or recommend a good fight to check out?
Love seeing a fighter stay this active. Ishida can fight, good test for Kirkland. He is 35 though so maybe they think hes on the slide.
I'm not too familiar with Ishida but he looks like he might be an ok fighter and he should give Kirkland some rounds. He seems to be a good step up for Kirkland and for a ppv opener its probably not a bad match up. After this fight let Kirkland take another step up than put him in an eliminator type fight late summer/early fall and by the end of the year Martinez-Kirkland becomes a hot fight.
I think this is the jap who barely lost to canelo's brother rigiberto, who in turn got shut out by austin trout. Who i think would end the kirkland gravy train by wide UD.
