NIce match-up for the 2 but did not impress me much on their recent outings. Penalosa I think beats up Morel and Hasegawa beats Montiel until came the lucky punch by Montiel in the 4rth rounds. He was also busted by Z Gorres though Montiel wins in a controversial manner. :boxing:

well did you watch koki kameda's "win" against juan landeta? or hasegawa's fight against alejandro valdez?..that was a terrible stoppage.
Yeah, I have. Koki Kameda was very fortunate in that fight, and I've always believed that fight was stopped early.
Are there going to be crappy decisions and stoppages in Japan...of course, I'm not saying there aren't or won't be. But that's applicable to any country, including the USA. The problem is, you're giving Japan the same stigma as Germany or making it out to be a place where it's very difficult to win decisions, when I don't believe that to be true.
Just in recent months Wonjongkam, Poonsawat, Sithsamerchai, and Cazares have all won decisions by correct margins.
If anything, Cazares won his by a wider margin than what actually took place in the ring.

I'm not playing dumb.
I watch fights from Japan a lot and it's not what you are making it out to be.
