Takashi Uchiyama: KO Dynamite The Jewel Of The Orient-The Boogeyman Of The Feathers.

The odds makers agree with you on Argumedo. He's "only" ten to one to win.

He was supposedly heavy a bit before the weigh ins at the medical check ins, but sweat the excess weight off. He's almost a decade younger than Takayama as well. Could be interesting to see how the younger, larger guy does in there.

Also, I think I agree with you on Ioka via stoppage. Why do you feel he'll get the stoppage win this time out of curiosity?

 

Uchiyama is an interesting fighter, he fights with an American style, boxer/puncher. His war with Miura is by far his best IMO and I hope in the future the rematch happens, belt or no belt on the line. In a way, thanks to Miura, who just won new fans in the 2015 Fight of the year with Bandido Vargas, Uchiyama will get more interest from fans worldwide on who this kingpin is. He doesn't have much time, tho.

 

Been reading that Reveco hasn't been happy since he's been in Japan. The media work out and medical boredom, weight struggles and grumpiness over the gloves...could be that he's pulling a fury...but I think he's just really not there.

Argumedo looks a solid lump, The L Kid has the speed and skills to beat him, but does he still have the skin and body

 

Yeah, Reveco seems shaky... He was floored (for the first time in his career?) against Saengthep almost exactly a year ago, and is now 32 years old. This might be the first step over the past prime stumbling block

What do you mean by skin and body? Does he cut up? I know he's got tons of general wear and tear on him, several hard 12 rounders and years battling on the world level.

 

The way he cut up against Fahlan Jr will always make me worry about Talayama's skin, with over 300 pro rounds and his age, how long can he keep going? He didn't look great against Ono or Odaira either. Could be that he has another couple of performances left in the tank, could be that he only has a few rounds

 

So it goes. I hope his performance tonight is more in line with Akira's a few days ago though, old hardened vet with a good/great performance left in him.

 

Just read that Takayama will OUT WEIGHT Argumedo in the ring, was significantly heavier on scales this morning O_O

 

Did you get my PM, Prospect?

 

Sorry, was running around, replied!

 

No problem, thank you.

Someone make a RBR for these fights!

Anyone know what order these are going to take place in? I believe Tanaka vs Saludar is first.

 

Tanaka Vs Saludar will be the first
Then things get...messy as the Ioka and Takayama bouts are both part of a combat sports section of Kyokugen (suspect Takayama will be tape delay, possibly VERY late in the section of the show)
Then Taguchi
The KO Dynamite!

 

Do we have any kind of ETA on the general times of these taking place?

I'm one of the idiots who always wants to know fight results the second I can. Where can I look if I want to be spoiled? Asianboxing twitter?

 

Asian boxing did put up a TV guide-
http://www.asianboxing.info/asian-news/tv-guide-to-the-end-of-year-japanese-shows

Tanaka in 5 mins!
Ioka in 2 hours
Uchiyama a bit later one

 

So Takayama after the Ioka fight, and then Uchiyama after that?

We're going to be here for the next like 6 hours

 

Takayama at some point, TBS weren't that clear sadly. He might be before Ioka or maybe after some MMA
