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.

Might have to take the day off after Halloween for this one!

Them airing that MAGA/Trump card in Florida and watching a legend get ko'ed in 1 was enough for me

I’ll never forgive anyone involved in that bs for that one.

 

[FreedMind]

He could’ve went out fought the champs (like Spence did) and won the belts (like Spence did) to accelerate the fight but he rather complain how everyone else is hindering his career BUM. This nikka no different from Boo Boo blaming everybody else for his career choices. Now he’s suing Arum when he resigned to him in the first place. Oops.

You nikkas still talking about junior welterweight undisputed like we still in 2017. He’s been at 147 for 5 years now.

 

[Dallas' 4 Eva]

Nothing but facts.

 

[reservoirdogs]

Makhmudov started well with the KD but since Takam made him gunshy and landing big overhands and left hooks, won the 3rd and 4th

He's been a welterweight champion for 4 years now, 100% KO percentage at 47, and is widely considered a top P4P fighter.



This dude been told y'all himself he was too scary to cross the street.

Beats Shawn Porter and immediately tries to fight beltless Danny Garcia.

Everyone Bud fought was belles after the belt and Danny is better than everyone Bud bead lmfao (he literally beat Porter and Khan)


Bud signed to Left Over ENT cause his whole life at this point is dedicated to left overs.

Seems like he can take a solid shot but ZERO head movement, he's 33 and he's gonna be food for the top 10 if he's struggling with old man Takam like this

 

[reservoirdogs]

A rare HW pull counter
