    Used the translate, and apparently this is a young Joe vs and older Jiro! Very fast movements. Making a thread to find it easy.

    Damn, Jiro just oozes craft and class here, with a young Joe showing what was to come of his precocious, fiery talent. Brilliant skilled watch. @Tin_Ribs I think you'd like this.

    Jiro may be the best fighter (in a H2H sense) to fight at 115. Awesome skills.

    It is crazy that Joe was piecing him up in that 3rd round, especially after Jiro's showing in the 1st. Jiro hadn't long retired (3 years at the most). Definitely watch this one mate, even though it is only 'sparring'.

    Wow, great find mate.

    Jiro looks very sharp given his ring rust, a little slow on the reflex front, but his know-how and ability is evident. That jab was like a rapier, feints were immaculate too. The guy radiated talent, and was truly wonderful in his prime.

    Joe was cut from the cloth of the Morales, Holyfield, Ortega and the other mental talents who couldn't resist a tear up. His fundamentals were sound, good footwork, fast hands, quick feet and he embodied toughness; personified heart. Slow on defence, but that just made him more exciting, eh?

    That 3rd round was wicked! Shows glimpses of what a pro fight would've been between these two. Something to behold, that's for sure. God, if only we'd seen Moon/Tatsuyoshi.
