For the record, this will be from 7:56pm-8:54pm JST (6:56am-7:54am EST) on Thursday, with just the main event to be aired unless it ends via early KO in which case they may show clips of the undercard .

 

Heathens. :-(


Asinine bullshit like this: http://www.boxingforum24.com/showthread.php?t=534343

...fetches thrice as many replies in ten hours as does a thread about Yamanaka (among the more exciting current world champs) taking on an undefeated puncher over the course of two months.

How many people who purport to like boxing aren't blithering idiots? My suspicion is the percentage is fairly low.

 

Yeah, there's a fairly juicy undercard, too, featuring two hot super bantamweight prospects (Sho Nakazawa is 5-0 with four knockouts and taking a step up in class with a tough Mexican in Alexander Cazares; then you have Juiki Tatsuyoshi making his anticipated debut as the son of legendary Joichiro Tatsuyoshi - basically the Japanese version of Gatti, except he was better than Gatti - who is already something of a gym legend and has earned Nakazawa's respect in sparring)

Rumor is those bouts might be shown on tape delay on NTV G+, a subscription auxiliary channel. (which is great news for those in Japan, but international feeds are notoriously hard to unearth for G+)

 

:good

..and they could have totally gotten away clean, technically with deeming it genuine "Asian Boxing news", with Pac being Filipino and everything, and just spammed their site with Pacweather junk for traffic while ignoring the stuff that is their usual forte.

Good shout.

 

What are their amateur pedigrees? (Tatsuyoshi, Masaki, Nakazawa or Murata)

 

:think Maybe he's a "style more suited for the pros" type?
