    Great fight. Hard to predict who will win.

    Pumita ransacks the old Lion and stops him late. I love Ioka, but this isn't going to end well for him.

    I highly doubt he will stop Ioka but I do think he will overwhelm him. Ioka is 35 after all.

    I'm so hyped for that fight.

    The fight I'm the most hyped actually for to be honest with Luis Nery vs Naoya Inoue.

    Ioka have 35 years old but he still overclassed some good fighters at 115 like Kosei Tanaka or Joshua Franco recently.


    Honestly I will not take any risks for make a prediction on that fight.


    50/50 for me.

    I'm more afraid of the age and the inactivity of Estrada against Bam than Ioka against Pumita who I am sure the fight will be more closed than the first one.

    Very stoked for this fight which could be a FOTY contender. Martinez is a dangerous fight for Ioka and will be up against a nonstop punching machine who won’t let him rest. Ioka always did have problems being a little too patient and relying on big counter shots that leads him to getting outworked. Martinez will push Ioka back and force him to work. We’ll see if Ioka still has enough in the tank to keep up with Martinez. Can’t wait.
