    I've got Medel as a horrible matchup for Hozumi, who's brain can be shaken by the biggest punchers.

    Medel let's Haaegawa come at him, sets a trap and knocks him out.

    I wouldn't say Hozumi has a bad chin either, but the two biggest punchers he's faces have done him a disservice.

    And against Medel, when he gets a bit of success and starts letting fly with both hands he's in with a sneaky, demonic puncher, and clearly a better fighter than either Montiel or Gonzalez (IMO)

    Yeah, Hasegawa strength's are his quickness and energetic offense.He has raw talent , but never struck me as a smart or particularly aware fighter and he's been undone by sneaky punching twice.

    Medel was happy to let fighters outwork him and build up leads, and very good at setting up traps, especially on the ropes.A very dangerous fighter to face if you don't retain an element of caution and respect for him.

    Hasegawa isn't that kind of fighter and both at their best i see him getting KO'd or figured out and overhauled after a bright start.
