Masao Nakamura: The next Edwin Valero???

Well he knocked out the awesomely named Payator Twins Special, so he must be pretty good.

 

Wow...it's rare to see young prospects put unbeaten records like that on the line so early and especially in Asia.

Props to his people and Tanada's.

 

wow. just wow. i hope he gets past his next opponent.

 

Wow

Thanks for letting us know about him. I just added him to my watchlist.

He's definetely someone to look out for.

 

Damn he's fighting an excellent opponent for his experience level in his next fight, and vice-versa.

 

If he gets past his catchweight fight with Makunouchi Ippo with a KO he has a fan for life

 

'proper' ko's are no better than tkos. All it means is the ref completed the count. You can be brutally ko'd, with no chance of making the count, but if the ref waves it off instead of counting, it's a tko, or the ref can complete the 10 count on someone not out cold and on their feet, and if he deems he can't continue, it's a ko.

 

.....okay. I'll say it.

Has he been accused of Coke fueled domestic abuse?

 

good prospect

 

EV was the ****en man! Dont compare him to edwin just yet!!

 

Worth keeping an eye on, thanks

 

You're only half right here.

Proper KOs are better than most TKOs, but not all.

Yes, a TKO can be essentially the same thing where someone is out cold and the ref just doesn't bother applying the count. TKO can also refer to quick wave-offs where the losers are still standing and intelligently defending themselves.

Generally speaking a KO looks better than a TKO. That's why it's a shame when abandoned counts where the fallen fighter is lying there unconscious are officially recorded as "TKO", as it carries less prestige.

 

Which evil Dictator is he going to get tattoed on his chest?
