    Battle between 2 talented southpaws how do you see this cracking fight go? Does Watanabe have the style to give a skilled fighter like Too Sharp some trouble?

    IMO both were one of the best offensive southpaws in the lower weight class, very smooth operators and great combination punchers.. I think this would have been a helluva match up.

    Great match up. For my money, Jiro is the best H2H fighter at 115lbs (out of everyone who competed there, anyway...). He was just so talented and well schooled in everything, even his temperament. Of course, Johnson was very talented and skilled, good enough to even take one in a series if he played it right, but I just see Jiro clipping him during offensive exchanges, where he was open. Johnson makes it hard following the Celso Chavez gameplan, though.
