Where is Nobuhiro Ishida?

Resting, to be 100% ready to ktfo the next prospect put infront of him.

 

They did? Maybe of of HBO, but he still fights and defends his strap.

 

wasnt he supposed to fight williams and hbo say **** no

 

yep

 

Oh yes. Forgot that. I also think he was considered for Saul Alvarez..

 

there was like a vid on youtube saying he got schooled in sparring by jose benevidez's lil brother

 

:yep

Given how Williams looked against Ishida's ultimate replacement for that date (Lara), HBO were probably onto something there.

 

So, not sparring footage? Just someone talking about it? :huh

 

ducking charlie ota

 

Last I saw of him he was training in the Maywood Gym with another Japanese prospect Takashi Okada. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWN5N3QYsM4[/ame]

They both kept to themselves, and just trained like everyone else.

 

Ishida is hardly a prospect though

 

I think him and Kirkland should fight again, if James is still @ that weight. Don't know if he was planning on going down to 154 again. He pulled off quite a stunner, doesn't Ishida deserve another shot against another known fighter.

 

Nobody made them disappear, they were simply opponents for HBO fighters high profile KOs, HBO bosses never planned with them winning nor did they ever called them back for another fight. I Had a long battle with people not understanding HBO never OK'd or considered paying for Martinez-Pirog, and despite some rumors of actually getting Williams-Ishida, the Japanese got Pirog's fate, which is no future on US television which is too bad.

They were never meant to win and HBO treats them as they didn't.

 

Still picking pieces of glass out of his hands.
