Mexicans are dominant in the lower weights...

I think Thailand has some pretty good boxers. Obviously the Pilipines have a small quantity of fighters who can compete as well.

 

Japan has some great guys in the lower weights as well

ie. Sakata, Naito etc

 

any third world country..

 

and your point is?

 

I always bet on the fighter that came from poorer roots.

 

it's a pity that jap are not fighting much outside their country. some of those boys got talent

 

why not send some illegal filipino fighters to fight up in Japan instead of Thailand? Or the other way around..japan sending them over to the philippines.

Pay is much higher, medical services blows away even US healthcare.

Valero has it made in Japan. Heard he gets a bonus for every 1st round KO. That's how boxing should be..kinda like football. Incentives Incentives Incentives.

 

the reward stuff is stupid. valero will overrely on his power because of this. he will force the ko to come instead of patiently setting it up. he will soon face a fighter who won't be as affected to his power as the other fighters than he has ko'd and when valero's looking for a plan b, there won't be any.

 

Thailand, Indonesian and Japan have a lot . . . but not in "WORLD CHAMPION" level . . . I'll say Puerto Rico follows Mexico.
