    Just why is Takei the co-main event? Really lame if you ask me.

    Seems to be because Shingo Inoue is cornering both Takuma and Naoya and they need a break in between the two

    It's inexplicable actually. I can't imagine on any planet Takei vs. Wang is more important than a Boxing God like Ioka taking on Inoue's brother.

    Yeah they really should've but I'm guessing they're trying to give more respect to Takei since he was a world champ and he fights out of the Ohashi gym too (am also disappointed that Sasaki v Tanaka wasn't the co main instead)

    Or maybe Takei is the actual main event all this time!

    Word on the street is the Yamaguchi-gumi clan wanted Ioka to throw the fight, Ioka doesn't cow down to any man or crime syndicate. Hence why they demoted this fight from the co-main :deal:

    Title fight number six for Inoue. Title fight number twenty eight for Ioka.

    Should Ioka be victorious, he will be the first ever male Japanese five division champion.

    Shingo Inoue is a Virgo, which is perfect. Virgos are one of the few signs that likes Aries and Capricorns equally. Which is rare, since Aries and Capricorns couldn't be more different and usually hate each other.:lol:
