    Which is mad. What do you think will happen with it? Joyi was certainly not guilty of hiding behind the alphabets and followed the money so is something with one of the Thai's possible? He certainly won't be striking fear into anybody in a managerial role out there and has proven his willingness to travel before.

    Or will he stay in Africa and try to milk the belt?

    Or will Covid-19 retire him?

    Any thoughts, anyone got an inside line?

    You're talking about his IBO title right? I'd say a dual retirement fight with TBE would be fun, two old legends of the division finally fighting each other after sharing spots in the top 10 for nigh on a decade.

    Yeah, that would be something really special. The Thai don't give a **** though :lol: You get the impression he wouldn't be moved by the idea at all.

    Unfortunately not, as memorable an occasion it can be. It'd be one of the few cherished events from the strawweight division along with Finito Lopez vs Rosendo Alvarez and Takayama's last fight at the weight for the WBO title against Riku Kano

    Man, **** Takayama-Go, Takayama-Rodrigiuez was the one, crazy.

    Of course, what we really need is the Thais to duke it out, but I like what you're selling in this thread, would be good to see.

    Takayama vs Fahlan is criminally under-rated as well

    As for Joyi, can't see him getting a big fight but how about Takayama vs Joyi 3 in 2021?
