Hinata Maruta. This kid amazing talent. Make pro debut later this year and... Wow. Also Keisuke Matsumoto... He going to win Olympic medal in 2020.
He was stand out on high school tournament like Inoue, Ao, Tanaka and others. His team have had him sparring with lot of good fighter all very positive about him. Age 18 now with debut expected to be very good opponent. He next in queue behind Inoue, Tanaka, Takuma Inoue, Ken Shiro. He fight a bit higher than other fighter on list and he almost 6 foot so might fill into lightweight when he mature. Every punch in ****nal and amazing natural ability
He probably start at 118/122. His gym profile with Moriaka list him as 58kg which is more than 126lbs.
Olympic in Tokyo, he getting trained by his father who head trainer at Ohashi gym (trainer of Yaegashi) spar with Yaegashi, Inoue and Ryo Matsumoto. TV do segment on him recent and he look sensational. To answer Cafe. I think so yes. I think he little bit slower but almost same. probably fight rank OPBF rank opponent on debut, his team said they want world rank debut. I think win first title, maybe OPBF or Japan, in 5 or 6 fight and fight for world title in under 10 fight.
