Yeah. With Nakatani up next. I can’t think of a better time for Japanese boxing. Ioka is also no joke and Tanaka will be back as well.

I watched a documentary on how in the Meji era of Japan (1850s- to early 1900s) the Japanese took everything western and discarded a lot of their old ways. They struggled with it at first, adopted to it and then mastered or improved upon it. The same could be said about boxing in Japan (for the lower weight classes)
Yeah and I think tenshin nasukawa is going to boxing too. They have a vast history of armed and unarmed combat and a good pool of guys that can get into boxing.

I read somewhere that the tv ratings for their big boxing events is somewhere in the 10-15 Million plus viewer range, which is crazy.

A lot of these North American suburb nerds like to focus on fake sh!t like “ninjitsu” and mystic Japanese stuff, yet even in Japan they know boxing is one of the few top elite Martial Arts as far as effectiveness.

The only thing that’s magical is their quality control like everything else they do, they take it seriously and refine it.

I just skimmed through that, they don’t just let anyone turn pro.

Translated to Casimero's camp denying that the Casimero/Donaire winner has to fight Rigo, Rigo looking clownish again
