Any thoughts on this peculiar bout slated for 1st Aug? Buff 'n' rugged Kyotaro gives up 4 inches to the ever improving Parker. Kyotaro, a noted K1 'knocker-outer' is still fairly green in terms of his boxing career. Although, his two - albeit razor thin decisions over a filled up Ishida suggests he isn't completely devoid of some sort of boxing ability. Possibly a poor mans Leapai - in terms of the threat level to Parker's rising stock. Parker's improved jab and power should suggest he'll break the stocky Japanese slugger down quickly and effectively - though a thumping right or two from Kyotaro on Joe's button could make things interesting, even if for a fleeting while. I see a 3rd or 4th round TKO to the Kiwi. Kyotaro isn't one to go quietly, so could make for a bit of fun.
