    Who do you think has aged the best?

    Who will win actually between the three legends if they will meet in Bantamweight ?

    While Donaire is currently the most proven fighter out of the bunch at bantamweight, I believe Juan Francisco Estrada will prove to be the better fighter than the other two in the division. I think he could beat both Ioka and Donaire if they fought. I also believe Estrada will beat Tenshin in their fight this Saturday.

    I think Ioka will proof he is currently better the May 2nd; his style has aged better, perhaps with less tough fights to his credit compared to Estrada or Nonito Donaire.

    I was wrong about Estrada :( . I’m definitely going to watch Ioka’s fight with Takuma closely.
