    Takashi Uchiyama vs Seung-Won Baek
    Takashi Uchiyama vs Akira Yamazaki
    Takashi Uchiyama vs Hero Bando
    Takashi Uchiyama vs Byung-Joo Moon
    Takashi Uchiyama vs Juan Carlos Salgado

    Uchiyama is a very well rounded guy; he can bang, put punches together, fight on the front foot, fight on the back foot, good defence, stays composed, good stamina etc. While he can do all these things well, one thing that really stands out is his body punching (especially the left uppercut to the body). Such a shame that he didn't showcase it in his 'World' title fight against Salgado, because I would certainly rank him as one of the best body punchers in the sport today.

    Negatives? I'm still not fully convinced about his punch resistance. Whilst he took some decent shots from Salgado/Yamazaki, he was badly shaken by Bando who isn't exactly the biggest puncher. His hand and foot speed isn't the best either, but certainly good enough.

    Shame he is already 30, but hopefully he steps up now and makes up for lost time.

    The best Flyweight performance ever. Harada is brutal in that fight, non stop motion.

    The second fight is an absoloute barn stormer, cracking fight

    George Foreman v Ron Lyle.

    I was reminded of it by all the conversations about Hagler v Hearns yesterday.

    Harold "The Shadow" Knight vs Rocky Lockridge on an old VHS tape. One of the few tapes I have that still actually works. 15 rounds as well, good fight.
