Who do people have in this IBF Bantamweight eliminator? "Eagle Eye" Iwasa (18-1, 11) is a former Japanese and OPBF champion who's most notable bout is a loss to current WBC champion Shinsuke Yamanaka several years ago. Since then he has scored 10 wins with the most notable of those coming over Kentaro Masuda, David Da la Mora and Hiroki Shiino. "Time to Shine" Perales (24-2, 16) is an American best known for his very close loss, in the UK, to Stuart Hall, as well as wins over Raul Martinez and the shadow of Lorenzo Trejo (who famously dropped Eagle Den Junlaphan and gave him a real scare at Minimumweight). Interestingly both are southpaws, as are many of the top fighters at 118lbs including Rodrigo Guerrero, Malcolm Tunacao, Juan Carlos Payano and Anselmo Moreno.
Going with Iwasa but Perales impressed me against Hall. Think the Hall Vs Butler fight showed the limitations of both men there.
This seems to have bombed... just seen Iwasa has been sparring with Wake and Omori world class southpaw sparring right there,
