Uchiyama, Kono and Taguchi in a New Years Eve triple header!

Yas! KO Dynamite is back! Yas!

 

With the risk of sounding foolish and ignorant, I can admit that I've never heard of Uchiyama and Kono's opponents...

Just glad that they are fighting at all, I guess.

Japan could and should have a huge 2015!

I'll be interested to see if they have the usual competing cards on New Years' Eve in Japan this year.

 

Hmm...

Agree with all of that. I know Uchiyama and Miura have had some difficulties that seem beyond their control.

As for Ioka/Reveco, that'd be a good fight and winnable for Ioka. I don't see Estrada losing to anyone at Flyweight other than Gonzalez with how he has looked the last couple years now. Styles favor Estrada heavily, too. Would be impressed if Ioka took on either of them, though. I would even be a tad bit surprised if Ioka fought them, honestly. I was expecting a fringe-contender/top 10 guy, not one of the titlists yet for him.

 

Don't know if it would sell or if Ioka's management would approve, but I would totally support Ioka fighting Moruti Mthalane (looooong underrated and too seldom seen in the ring these days). He only holds the IBO title, but there's a reason TBR still ranks the man 4th at Flyweight despite recent inactivity. I think Mthalane probably beats him, so I doubt Ioka jumps on that since no recognized world title would be at stake for the gamble to be worth it, unfortunately.

 

Yeah, I read that too and did see their fight. Was disappointed in my boy Mthalane. I guess a rematch is in order, but with Mthalane's career (like fellow South African, Joyi) problems and low paydays, you'd think he would jump at a chance to face Ioka. And I doubt he would be anywhere close to as expensive as the other possibilities. Then again, like you say about the need for it to be a title fight and high profile, I guess it doesn't make that much sense.

 

Ioka not a good Flyweight, he need a lot more time

 

Respect to Uchiyama... Honestly, I've got to say, I did expect more of him for the last two years. I guess it's based on my respect for him and how I view his "H2H ability."

There haven't been more than a couple fighters at 130 since Uchi won the belt that I've fancied as even being able to make a close fight or that I would have to debate about a prediction over.

 

I fancy Miura and Kaneko now. KO Dynamite on slide me think
