On undercard of Saul Sanchez vs John Riel Casimero in the 13th october in Yokohama. Masataka Taniguchi 30 years old, ranked 20th in the world in the Light Flyweight division, was the WBO world strawweight champion with 18 wins (12KOs) and 4 losses. He's a formidable technician, beautiful to watch. This will be his third fights in Light Flyweight division since he moved up after he lost his world title against Melvin Jerusalem. Masataka Taniguchi's opponent is finally known: Phai Pharob alias "Paipharob Kokietgym" former WBA Interim Strawweight World Champion 38-5-0 (28KOs) 41 years old but a formidable boxer ranked number 1 in Thailand in the Super Flyweight division & 30th in P4P in Thailand by Boxrec. In his last fight Phai Pharob down the japanese Kantaro Juri who is still undefeated actually in Super Flyweight. That's a good fight hope Phai Pharob will win I'm a big fan because it would be well deserved, he's spent his entire career in the shadows.
