Michael Carbajal vs Jung Koo Chang

Nice JK Chang highlights. I guess watching him fire his rapid combinations in the highlights, some of which are low vs 108 pound men just isn't my thing. But this match him vs. a skilled puncher who has quite an uppercut and left hook( and good right hand and body punching too ) who would be far and away the better than the best Chang beat and you get what?

Looking as his resume Chang was beaten ( Ko'd ) by Kittikasem and lost to H. Gonzalez via wide margin. Like 110-118, 111-118, and 109- 119. He was in his mid 20's, under 30 for these matches. The best two punchers and talents he fought who happen to be a little taller / longer than him. He was also beaten by Sot Chitalada who was not that good.

Of course Carbajal is even taller than they are, and given Changs prefer operating style he would line right up to he skilled and powerful Cabajal, I see him winning via TKO. Swarming attackers tend to lose vs. good boxer punchers...especially when they lack power and they the good boxer - puncher can in fight and has a light out uppercut and left hook. That is the match-up.

My $.02

 

have you actually watched Chang yet, or just these highlights lol

 

I like both guys, but think at their best Chang would take a close and entertaining decision

 

No, I watched him in full fights. He didn't beat anyone very good and fought in a newly formed division which lack depth. ( 108 )

What puncher did Chang beat? My point. And how would Chang have to beat Carbjal? By getting up close is the best reply. What happens when the trade punches? There is my reasoning.

 

Prime Chang is something special. I like Carbajal but he's not winning this.

 

I suppose Chitalada is not any good? Nor Torres? Nor Zapata? Nor…never mind

 

These are two of the best light flyweights ever. Combined they were 87-8 and only lost to very high quality fighters. I think Carbajal's power will slow Chang down enough for Gonzalez to get the win. That being said, the Korean Hawk was great and I wouldn't bet a penny against either fighter.

 

I like Chang in this one. He's busier and equally as dynamic. He doesn't just move in and bang, his movement is varied, though always centered around attack.

If Chiquita couldn't stop an old Chang, Carbajal isn't stopping a young one.

 

Those guys aren't world class and have 10-13 losses on their resume. Yeah-- Chitalda had but 4 fights in his record when Chang fought him, and had beaten just 1 fighter with a winning record when Chang fought him. Fair right?

When I look at Chang's pro record he has 5 matches vs fighters making the debut, and 2 matches guys with losing records. He fought 4 other guys with double dighted losses when he meet them! His record vs men who were ranked contenders beaten is very thin is a newly formed division.

Does that really record really impress you? As you say never mind. Pick who you wish.

 

oh I know and he has in the past said he has not watched him…although he has changed his tune this time around lol

 

Chang's pressure might run him into a big shot. I believe a slugfest ensues...... flip a coin.
