Heard of this guy before but never watch any of his fights before today. This headline caught my eye though. Watching a few fights right now. He reminds me of GGG. However, like GGG he is eating a few shots that he doesn't need to if he had a bit better defense.

Thoughts on this assertion?

Watching this fight now.

Been following him for five years and he's definitely the most underrated. But best boxer? Not a chance.

Yep just finished watching that Yaegashi fight. He is definitely an exciting style type of fighter and will probably have a lot of fans after his HBO debut this weekend and if he continues to fight on US TV. However, his defense needs some work. Though I wonder how much of that was just that Yaegashi was an almost equally good competitor until the knockout.

Nah you're right. His defense is definitely lacking. I wanna see that Estrada rematch.

If you don't know this you don't know boxing


And comparing him to GGG - he's the embodiment of technical perfection, GGG is a good boxer but mostly a puncher - he's not TECHNICAL PERFECTION!!

I was referencing the stalking and controlling the ring aspect. Its similar to GGG. Though his inside game is different.

Also as far as Technical perfection, I admit I've only watched one fight so far but like I said above he needs to work on his defense a bit more.

Yaegashi is the biggest jobber in that division but Roman is more than legit.

I don't think you could say that the guy was the #1 and Lineal champ when Chocolatito beat him

Top 2 behind Floyd, I'm only counting active fighters up until Wards get that W he'll be in the sidelines. The guy started at Minimumweight and continues to go up while beating top competition

 

[Mook]

His ceilings like bantamweight right?

THATS WHAT I WANT TO SEE THOUGH, MORE JAPS

Until he showed up, I think he's a on a 2-3 fight losing streak now.
