    I remember him wanting a big unification fight soon after, heard nothing after that, he gave up his belt of course.

    Watched the Ioka/Tanaka fight but also had to watch my son run around so I couldn’t post anything. But MAN Ioka is god and loved it! His hooks and counters were so beautiful...it really moved me...:eek:

    (* the latter coming at 48:11)

    Not sure what the significance of it as preamble filler was, though? Certainly hasn't been 20 years since there was a world title fight in Japan between two natives, yeah? Maybe just TBS dusting off an old gem from that vault for the hell of it?

    Round 1 Tanaka 10-9
    Round 2 Ioka 10-9 Close
    Round 3 Tanaka 10-9
    Round 4 Ioka 10-9
    Round 5 Ioka 10-8
    Round 6 Ioka 10-8
    Round 7 Ioka 10-9
    Round 8 Ioka TKO.

    Terrific fight and terrific performance by Ioka. Tanaka's strategy was good and in parts he was implementing it very well, but Ioka proved too experienced and cerebral for Tanaka. The fight reminded me of Ippo vs Date. Youth and strength versus the old veteran.

    Ioka should try to sign with Hearn and fight in America. I would love to see him against either Gonzalez, Estrada or Rungvisai. :chuck:
