Very very small ring. Welliver is flabby...overweight. He keeps trying to lean on Fujimoto and tire him out but the ref won't allow it. Fujimoto threw way more punches.
And every other top 100 HW :roll: deluded nimwit. He probably committed suicide watching Welliver lose 2 straight fights in embarrassing fashion
possibly sets up fujimoto - rio hidaka for the japanese heavyweight title...the first time the title will be fought for since 1957...55 years [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrHDJ9ttOSo"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrHDJ9ttOSo[/ame][ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QSTa3YzCag"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QSTa3YzCag[/ame]
He's only 5' 9" - he's got no future in the HW division. Kyotaro is 6' 0" and not built like a HW so Hidaka has a chance there. That second fight you posted contains the two smallest HWs I've seen (in recent times, anyway) Seriously - yes, Kyotaro has decent skills but any reasonably skilled HW with decent power beats him. He's just too small - the feather-fisted Welliver was the perfect opponent - a feather-fisted, WBC ranked guy who would make Kyotaro look good.
No disrespect to Chanucy as seemed like a nice guy but man Messer was pumping him hard, it was a bit of joke that he got to hold onto his #15 WBC ranking..atsch
Chauncy made a mistake of takin this fight. The only way he coulda won was by Ko. The scorecards were already filled out before the bout took place and the Jap knew it so he fought a safety fight . It was kind of a cheap win in my book If he wants to claim a big victory good for him. But lets see him fight outside of Japan for a change
Did anyone actually see the fight to know if it was close or not? I don't expect Kyotaro to do much on the world scene. A respectable Japanese heavyweight is probably attraction enough, and from what little I've seen of him, he's no better than some other recent converts like Mark Di Mori and Sonny Bill Williams.
