Yoko Gushiken

Are you tossing up between him and somebody else? He's pretty good, but there may be better fighters to look at depending on what you have seen.

 

I made a thread about him not long ago, he is one of the fighters that i (and i know we all have different tastes) can just sit and watch all day. His masterclasses are just awe inspiring.

 

You've got the opportunity to get his fights? Get them.

 

From what i saw on youtube, there is a bit and i watched it all by the way;

if you remember in my massive thread not long ago, i made him my pick at 108 pounds for complete fighter stylistically. He's a southpaw, and a technician, he can apply pressure, but not the swarming type, he comes in and establishes a pace setting distance that he is comfortable working at, not his opponent. He's a good finisher, accurate, has a great jab, and his short hooks are clinical. When he has his man covering up, he is a surgeon, technical brililance, methodical but smoothe and easy on the eye. I noticed a straight left to the body that opens opponents up for a right hook upstairs, and was impressed with that a few times.

In centre ring, his footwork and jab enable him to box rings around his opponents, really though, it can make you actually laugh at how good he looks in this regard. He reminded me of Joe Calzaghe there, but landing shots more cleaner, say like a Gomez.

He's certainly beatable in my perception, and i think Chang would stop him, but just to watch, i think he's fantastic.

 

Well watch his blowout of zapata on youtube, that's a great win for him.

And this is a classic.

Shows more of his ability.

 

The Zapata rematch was more of a black mark on Zapata than anything overly positive for Chang, though. He was in no physical or mental shape to fight, and it showed.

 

It wasn't how Chang looked in the bout that puts me off of it, but rather Zapata. Chang always looked roarin to go. See if you can get your hands on his bout with another top Flyweight of the era in German Torres.
