some quotes from last nights nishioka-marquez round by round, "wow, nishioka's a bad ass" "respect to nishioka, he's hard core" "wow, nishioka's pretty good" yes. he is pretty good, he was pretty good before he fought marquez, but, of course, he had to beat a fighter well known to american fans, before anyone realised just how good nishioka is. welcome to toshiaki nishioka, a fighter thats from japan, not america, and really is quite good, its nice that the rest of the world has now realised this, and he's only 35.
I'm not really convinced about his trash-talking abilities. Not sure if he is even slick enough to talk trash, I'll reserve my judgement until he gets his own 24/7.
For those who didn't know him before and liked what they saw, there's a huge amount of him on youtube. Several hours. I think every fight with Sahaprom is up there, with a lot of fun, short, early career fights, with a less polished version of what he's become. Very good stuff.
