Tomoki did mention it last year. In reality I can't see him having the power or the skills to really worry Rigondeaux. Yamanaka would be interesting given the Shinsuke hits like a mule, on the other hand the God of Left has become ever more predictable. Seems that if he heads out to Japan it will against Wake which is a bout I'd like to see. Talking about Japanese fighters at 118/122 it's hard not to be impressed by Shohei Omori and Shun Kubo who both appear to be future stars. Not seen much of Kubo but his last couple of wins have been impressive given his inexperience. Also Iwasa is going to be a major player in the near future.
