Lower weights: Damn ive been missing out!!!

Which one do you mean, or is that directed at both?

Chocolatito is pretty much guaranteed entertainment.

 

Not all their fights are great. I'm talking bout both but yes Gonzalez on the whole has had better fights to watch than Segura.

 

You're from the UK I see. It's odd - here in the US all the networks that nationally televise boxing (ESPN, Sports Net, HBO, Showtime, Telefutura & Versus) all do a fairly good job of mixing up their cards and undercards. There seems to be just as many sub-welterweight fights shown as there are higher division. From what I've seen of the cards shown on SKY and Setanta, my impression was that it was the same over there - so that being exposed to a wide array of different weight classes was almost unavoidable (except in those cases it's mostly domestic talent as opposed to world-level). :think

 

:good

Better style.

 

I'm watching Jhonny Gonzalez v Toshiaki Nishioka atm. Good fight, but only lasted 3.

Nishioka definitely underrated in the p4p punching power stakes. Gotta be right up there.

Rendall Munroe has to be careful with him.

 

Jamie McDonald v Jerome Arnould was a good fight. For the European bantamweight title. Happened like half a year ago I think.

 

That card is absolutely STACKED with lower-weight talent, btw. :deal

Sunday, October 24th from Tokyo, Japan:

WBC Bantamweight champion Toshiaki Nishioka vs. #1 contender Rendall Munroe

Nishioka is 36-4-3 (21) but a much bigger puncher than his record indicates; Munroe is 21-1 (9) and is no bigger a puncher than his record indicates but is a workmanlike grind-out battler who's as prime and ready for this chance as he'll ever be.

Jorge Linares vs. Jesus Chavez, 10 rounds @ lightweight

The resurgent Linares - 29-1 (18.) - is coming off a surgical decision win over Rocky Juarez in which he looked every bit the "Golden Boy" he was hyped up to be prior to his upset KO loss to JC Salgado; Chavez - 44-7 (30) - is an absolute iron man at the tail end of his career who may deceptively seem an easy target coming off three losses but just recently gave David Diaz a life-and-death struggle and went on to hold his own and last the distance against a momentum-building Humberto Soto (who then won just as wide a decision over Diaz) - and the tough and experienced veteran will be the closest to a true lightweight that Linares has yet met in the ring.

Yoshihiro Kamegai vs. Jose Alfaro, 10 rounds @ light welterweight

Kamegai is 16-0 (14) and notorious as the object of a viral video; wherein a referee is accidentally KTFO by the young boxer while stepping into a clinch to force separation. :yep See video below. Kamegai's power and his own chin will be put to a real test when he meets Alfaro - 23-6 (20) - who most recently lost a decision to a much-better-than-expected welterweight version of the legendary Erik Morales. If Kamegai is indeed a legitimate knockout artist - elderly officials notwithstanding - he should be able to secure a stoppage over Alfaro as the smaller Tony DeMarco was able to. There is always danger with Alfaro, though - evidenced by his many knockout wins (a good number of them early) and his ability to stun the iron-chinned Morales a few times.

Shinsuke Yamanaka vs. Jose Silveira, 10 rounds @ bantamweight

From B. Bulletin: "The undefeated 27-year old southpaw (12-0-2, 8KO) has been matched with WBA #14 rated Jose Silveira (11-2, 4KO). Yamanaka has built a decent record on the strength of his left hand and was last seen stopping Mikio Yasuda for the title in June. British boxing fans may remember Silveira as a former opponent of Martin Lindsay. The Mexican has won five in a row since being shutout by Lindsay in 2007."

 

Yeahhhh a think segura would be to much although i'd like to see chocalito clean up straweight first

& he loves living in newcastle , had a bit crack on with him about 2 years ago talking about velez etc... the man is a top top bloke really down to earth

 

It's gotten even better!!!

WBA Light Flyweight champion Juan Carlos Reveco vs. WBA Strawweight champion Roman Gonzalez

"Chocolatito" Gonzalez has been dominant at minimumweight and is now looking to chase the bigger money by running with the bigger men. With only one tune-up at the weight (a 2nd round KO victory last month) he has been quickly maneuvered into a showdown with a titlist who is formidable but largely unknown outside his native Argentina. Reveco is fairly quick, disciplined, feint-happy, and has a stinging quality to his punches belied by his low rate of stoppage. Chocolatito is seen by many (including yours truly) as a future p4p star and his upward climb has been eagerly anticipated with baited breath. This could be a late-addition FOTN on what was already shaping up to be a very good night of lighter men's boxing!

 

It would be a war anyway! I love this fight already. I also think Segura is too big. Gonzalez throws straight punches but Segura is clever and would adapt I believe. He is a student of the game and wouldn't go all out against Gonzalez.
Since it's a lower weight they will fight each other quickly
