November 1: Kenshiro Teraji-Hiroto Kyoguchi Light Flyweight Unification Battle Headlines Loaded Quadruple-Header from Japan LIVE on ESPN+

WBO light flyweight champion Jonathan Gonzalez defends strap against Shokichi Iwata in the co-feature

(Sept. 14, 2022) — The light flyweight division takes center stage Tuesday, Nov. 1, as two championship fights with three world titles at stake headline a loaded card from Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan.

WBC champion Kenshiro Teraji attempts to unify titles against WBA king Hiroto Kyoguchi in the main event. In the co-feature, Puerto Rico’s WBO champion, Jonathan “Bomba” Gonzalez, will defend his strap versus Japanese contender Shokichi Iwata.

Teraji-Kyoguchi, Gonzalez-Iwata, and undercard action will stream live and exclusively in the U.S. on ESPN+ starting at 7:30 a.m. ET/4:30 a.m. PT.

“The Amazing Boy” Teraji (19-1, 11 KOs) is an eight-year pro who won the WBC world title in May 2017. He made eight defenses of that crown until a stunning 10th-round knockout defeat to Masamichi Yabuki last September. Less than six months later, Teraji exacted revenge with a third-round knockout over Yabuki to regain his title. Kyoguchi (16-0, 11 KOs) is a two-weight champion who was the IBF 105-pound ruler until he vacated that belt to move up to light flyweight. Since winning the WBA light flyweight crown on New Year’s Eve 2018 against Hekkie Budler, he has made four title defenses. He is coming off June’s eighth-round stoppage over Esteban Bermudez, which ranks among the year’s best title fights.

Gonzalez (26-3-1, 14 KOs) fell short in his first attempt at a world title in 2019 against Kosei Tanaka. He fulfilled his championship destiny last October when he edged Elwin Soto by split decision. Gonzalez defended his WBO title in June with a unanimous decision against Filipino upstart Mark Anthony Barriga. Iwata (9-0, 6 KOs), from Tokyo, won the Japan Boxing Commission, OPBF and WBO Asia Pacific titles en route to earning his first world title shot.

In other action scheduled on the ESPN+ stream:

Junto Nakatani (23-0, 18 KOs) vs. Francisco Rodriguez (36-5-1, 25 KOs), 10 rounds, junior bantamweight — WBO flyweight champion Nakatani tests the junior bantamweight waters against Mexican action star Rodriguez, a former unified 105-pound world champion.

Shuichiro Yoshino (15-0, 11 KOs) vs. Masayoshi Nakatani (20-2, 14 KOs), 12 rounds, WBO Asia Pacific Lightweight Title — Yoshino is coming off a technical decision over former world champion Masayuki Ito. Nakatani rebounded from last year’s knockout loss to Vasiliy Lomachenko with June’s first-round blitzing of Harmonito Dela Torre.

Got to make sure I don't forget this one. Those Japanese fights be early in the morning for us.
Japan and England got some amazing fight fans that make fights much more memorable

I’m not even interested in Spence v Bud anymore


Spence isn’t the same from the car accident… Bud is 38 N best Win is a semi retired Shawn Porter damn near a decade after Brook N Thurman whooped him

Boxing need to start making the fights early… Issac Cruz on his way to being a main event fighter all because he took a L to Tank

There’s only one Mayweather the 0 don’t mean shyt when you beating cops from Zimbabwae and Kangaroo herders

Facts
So many other potential fights done leap frogged Spence vs Bud over the past year it ain't even funny.

Usyk is free to move how he wants..he has no more legal obligation to Eddie so if that's the move, good for him

Truthfully, I think it's a dangerous fight for him bro. He should beat Wilder ass but that equalizer right hand makes me hesitate. All it takes is one lapse and the fight's over him. We know Wilder keeps his power for the full 12

So he is no longer with DAZN? What about Fury, is he still with Top Rank / ESPN? Or is it just because of the travel ban?

Usyk just doesn't have anymore contractual ties to matchroom. He is a free agent now meaning he can fight on any platform.

Fury is still with Top Rank

If wilder can somehow beat Usyk that would do a number for his legacy.

That scientific ass breh may be too much though, but I will be tuned in

What makes me think Wilder can catch him is the 2nd fight with AJ. AJ should've got him out of there but he didn't go to the body often enough & fatigued down the stretch. AJ was able to put some serious hands on him & there's no way in hell he could get away with those kinds of lapses in there in Wilder

i feel you but im long set in my ways about wilder lol..an eraser in one hand but nothing more really in his skill set...thats all ive seen bro

now if he does one punch usyk and put him away that will do WONDERS for his legacy lol

Yeah but Usyk doesn't have the physical tools to match wilder, he'd have to outbox him for 12 rounds which seems to be a tall task as no one has done it. Fury basically realized you have to blitz him and make it a skirmish and thats why he beat his ass lol.


IDK if anyone can dance around wilder for 36 minutes its usyk but it should be a compelling fight

another thing is Wilder def has that I'mma die in this ring mentality so he'd be willing to sell out for the KO unlike AJ ever since Ruiz. Breh was dead on the feet and dropped fury randomly so he always is dangerous
