Well, the hurdle was cleared: This content is protected Wake knocked out Nakajima in six rounds this morning. No call for a trilogy - Wake has bigger concerns now. Juárez has been smashing his way into contention again since Isaac Dogboe knocked him out a year ago. There is now a showdown looming. Wake is ranked #4 in both the WBC and IBC rankings, and Juárez is #12 and #5 respectively in each org. This will by far be the biggest puncher Wake has faced since he was stopped by Yonatan Guzmán - in fact Juárez may even punch harder. Quick turnaround for Wake, as well, just a month after the Nakajima rematch.
Neither Wake or Akai Yoshihiko, from the Flare Yamagami gym, mentioned this bout today....do wonder if it's actually Iwasa Vs Juarez (which was rumoured last year)...
