    When he beat Skinny I was heartbroken..he really gave him a beating.

    I saw a lot of holes in his game then, but he was a very impressive physical speciman no doubt about that. He has come along nicely..its still early days, its hard to say if he will keep ironing out those issues or he has peaked in regards to his technical ability.

    Well that's pretty remarkably racist.

    Why not hold off on buying into these Mexicans', Americans', Ukrainians', Cubans', and Pinoys' hype until they're proven at the elite world level?

    Uchiyama and Hasegawa are completely different...their styles are not similar at all.

    And for the record, I'm getting sick of everyone with the "Hasegawa came up bust" schtick - it's as tired as it is ******ed in the first place. He's still elite, and he beats Montiel 8 out of ten times. He made a stupid mistake and got caught - after sweeping every round.

    so many good fighters passed thru 130 without facing him. i always wanted to see like broner or garcia or salido fight him

    consequence of 4 titles in a global sport

    But alas, like I said, despite this promising outlook in 2010, fast-forward a few years, and:

    :lol: Remember when we had to extract the alphanumeric code from the end of the URL and post it between an opening and closing bbcode tag in order to embed YT links? Good times.

    Uchiyama? He retired a little over a year ago.

    I never even knew he'd retired. Fighting once a year against a bum on new years eve did the trick in making me forget about him.

    Uchiyama was awesome.

    Been a bunch of great and highly likable Japanese champions the last decade.

    For what it's worth, he scored incredibly well at 130 in my ongoing ranking experiment. Had he hung around another year, he may possibly have surpassed the top decade any guy at 130 ever achieved under the simple scoring criteria.
