    From watching his fights, I get the impression that Nishioka is quite a beatable fighter when the opposing fighter has the right attibutes. He raises his right hand pretty high to prevent jabs from landing, which leaves the right hand side of his body wide open. If he fights somebody with a solid defence and chin, who can throw a good, accurate left downstairs and straight right to the head, I can see him being beaten. I know that there isn't many fighters that have all of that, in fact Gonzalez may be the closest to it, save for the chin. Nishioka is a very fine fighter, but a beatable one all the same. Whether or not this version of Rafa can do that remains to be seen, but it appears as though he can still unlesh those shots expertly.
