Juan Carlos Reveco vs. Kazuto Ioka. WBA World Flyweight Title. April 22nd.

I'm leaning toward Miura in a rematch. Do you have any idea what the chances of it happening are?

 

It was a tremendous win for Wonjongkam for sure

Round 1: 10-9 Ioka, 10-9 Ioka

:shock:

 

Yeah, Uchiyama is slipping and beating Kaneko in your first 9 fights is some feat. But I think maybe it's one year too early for him.

 

The problem with things like Ring magazine not giving him fighter of the year, is because if they was to put him on the cover with fighter of the year underneath it would seriously hurt their sales figures.

It's the likes of HBO and Showtime that need to start pushing these talents. Why not instead of having mismatches (like whoever they put Santa Cruz in with) and stinkers (like Bey v Vazquez) on Mayweather/ Pacquiao undercards, promote stuff like Gonzalez v Estrada II or Lomachenko v Walters-when plenty of eyes are on them- that way if the main event ends up also being a stinker or a mismatch, fans won't feel as short changed- and I doubt those kind of fighters would command much bigger fees than what they pay the Santa Cruz' and the Bey's of thus world.

Plus it would sell it to hardcores who have grown tired of the main event divas ****
