    I'm just bracing myself for Flea Brat to waltz in here unbidden and start moaning about "another weeb love-in! :rolleyes:", just to be contrarian and dampen the mood. Because, you know, he is the lone beacon in the dark, the White Savior of the lighter weights boxing scene of the Orient, without whose Sherpa-esque services we would all be lost. :deal:

    And just a downright vehemently anti-Japanese individual, for some reason. :dunno (seriously, did a suave ōtaku steal his girlfriend or something? He lose a kneecap after getting neck-deep in debt with the Yakuza? His grandpappy stationed at Pearl Harbor? Wtf..)

    Which is very hurtful to hear, coming from a bona fide historian who stands so firmly on his principles that he got his emotional glass cannon ass permanently laughed off of Twitter as a medium.

    :shakehead:

    Funny cause he's the Thailand version of a weeaboo. And he's pasty English lol.

    Shame he's so uppity, he's done some brilliant work here (or used to).

    I'll have a gander myself, 4 eyes are better than 2.
    I imagine @roughdiamond having sleepless nights over it as well.

    Lol I was actually looking for it earlier. No luck though.

    What I really want is the Midget Wolgast vs Zurita footage back. Now that's in my nightmares.

    Yong-Soo Choi vs. Yamato Mitani 2

    Such a close fight with loads of back and forth, nothing unbelievable in terms of boxing skill and defence but pure heart and brawling. A lovely bit of a dirty fighting by Mitani as well.
    I imagine this is the type of fight that @The Undefeated Lachbuster would like.
    I'll get to the next one tomorrow.
    Almost all rounds were close. So I didn't specify like I usually do.
    I'd love to see the fight before this one.

    1. Choi 10-9
    2. Choi 20-18 (Choi 10-9)
    3. Choi 29-28 (Mitani 10-9)
    4. Choi 39-37 (Choi 10-9)
    5. Choi 48-47 (Mitani 10-9)
    6. Choi 58-56 (Choi 10-9)
    7. Choi 67-66 (Mitani 10-9)
    8. Even 76-76 (Mitani 10-9)
    9. Choi 86-85 (Choi 10-9)
    10. Choi 96-94 (Choi 10-9)
    11. Choi 105-104 (Mitani 10-9)
    12. Even 114-114 (Mitani 10-9)

    I'd like to know the relationship between these 2. Both clearly had respect for eachother and were joking about, yet Mitani was still fighting very dirty.
    That final 30 seconds of the 12th was pure heart, both looked ****ed.

    @IntentionalButt how the **** did you find these?
