Santos Laciar vs Shuichi Hozumi - Flyweight Title Fight - The Diminutive Dynamo of Argentina

Argentinian fighters are like a fine spirit that can only be created in one country... They are unique to their country and that's all there is to it. If it comes from anywhere else, it isn't authentic.

Sometimes I think that being from Argentinian makes one automatically a legitimate fighter. There must be some kind of learning curve to living there...

 

I'm doing my best!

I'll finally have access to high speed internet again for the first time in a few days in the next few hours, so I'm going to upload at least four rare Edwin Rosario bouts and some other good stuff too.

 

What do you think of his durability and stamina? On an all time great level? I can't imagine how he can be deemed anything except for the highest level of sturdiness that you can allocate to a fighter, with good stamina to boot... Like I said, 900+ rounds, never stopped.

 

You know, it's actually a really funny coincidence you mention that about Japanese fighters... I was just getting settling in after a morning out and the next fight on my mind to do a thread on was going to be a bout containing Japanese flyweight Shoji Oguma. Pretty funny we're more or less thinking the same exact thing even though we're like complete night and day opposites in terms of age, location, everything.

 

Impressed? I love his left hook. So accurate, he doesn't get carried away or wild with it. Just clinical when he gets you hurt. The slow motion reply after the bout was already over is really needed to appreciate the first left hook that jars the Japanese fighter badly... very good punch.

 

Dude, that's awesome. More power to you and I hope it comes true in the most literal sense for you.

 

Yeah, it's funny how he's the polar opposites of fighters that came after him, fighters that literally sat on a title at home as if it was their very own investment nest egg sort of thing. The fracturing of the belts did a lot of damage to the sport in it's own ****ed up way. Created a lot of people and fighters willing to put on low quality matches to maintain their "bargaining" power.

 

I've just picked up a little Spanish on my own from watching so many fights and being around my partner's large and very Spanish heavy family. I went through Spanish in school way back when but of course retained/learned nothing. Thanks public education school systems!
