Fernando Montiel

ohh okay... that makes sense nowonder the asians fighters that i know off only carry the WBC strap...good 2 know hell nahh 2 me hasegawa aint no bum... its just that people know that he had his career in Japan and people sterotype him off he's punch rate is dope... and accurate! u gotta love that... he is 1 of the best southpaws in the game atm still.. lets see how he comes back... will hasegawa go 2 mexico 4 the rematch? I hope he does. I will be mind boggled if he doesn't.

Aight man. I know where your comming from now. It's not that Hozumi didn't want to pay the fee. Its that the JBC doesn't recognize the WBO as a legit title so Hozumi couldn't fight for it even if he wanted to. At least not in Japan. I have to take blame for people doubting Montiel tho. I hyped Hozumi up so hard on these boards that I guess people started watching and hopped on the bandwagon and never gave Montiel a chance. But now they all hopped off and calling Hozumi a bum and guys are throwing around the 'exposed' tag like crazy. But it's not like Montiel wasn't a great fighter to begin with ya know? ohh okay... that makes sense nowonder the asians fighters that i know off only carry the WBC strap...good 2 know hell nahh 2 me hasegawa aint no bum... its just that people know that he had his career in Japan and people sterotype him off he's punch rate is dope... and accurate! u gotta love that... he is 1 of the best southpaws in the game atm still.. lets see how he comes back... will hasegawa go 2 mexico 4 the rematch?

Wow one lucky punch and you guys are on this guy's nuts, not to mention he lost every second of every round up until that moment. not too long ago yall were criticizing him for barely surviving against Alejandro Valdez, a guy Hasegawa rolled in a round. Hasegawa will son him in a rematch.

flicker the homie!! i respect hasegawa but shit... every1 in this forum was sayin how he was gonna murk kochul (about 90% of the board).... and tbh i was kinda doubtin him to... :/ am glad he won on his home turf, and besides why didnt kochul put his WBO strap on the line? hasegawa didnt want to pay the fee? or did kochul didnt want to put his belt on the line? and that was the reason i kinda doubted him 2 win. i guess by me puttin that on my sig would piss his fans off lol (cause of people doubtin montiel on here) Aight man.

Supra, your a cool dude and all but how is Hozumi exposed? Don't you think Montiel is a good fighter? How long has he been participating at 118? So how is Hozumi exposed? What even gives you a reason to dislike Hozumi enough to say he is exposed? Kinda ignorant and I know your better than that man. flicker the homie!! i respect hasegawa but shit... every1 in this forum was sayin how he was gonna murk kochul (about 90% of the board).... and tbh i was kinda doubtin him to... :/ am glad he won on his home turf, and besides why didnt kochul put his WBO strap on the line? hasegawa didnt want to pay the fee? or did kochul didnt want to put his belt on the line? and that was the reason i kinda doubted him 2 win. i guess by me puttin that on my sig would piss his fans off lol (cause of people doubtin montiel on here)

early stoppage? hell no... right stoppage!! Supra, your a cool dude and all but how is Hozumi exposed? Don't you think Montiel is a good fighter? How long has he been participating at 118?

But if his arm was on the ropes keeping him up after being stunned, isn't that supposed to be ruled a knockdown? Wasn't the ref supposed to direct Montiel to the neutral corner and start counting for Hasegawa? It's because of how he got there and Montiel was on a flurry. Hozumi loss fair and square though. I originally thought he was getting grazed but the angle I had was horrible and from a new angle I could see Montiel's left hand getting Hozumi on the button with everything.

That was a good stoppage. His left arm was stuck on the ropes.

people claiming early stoppage. Those people are blind. This is an opinion from someone who considers himself unbiased because I am not a fan of either fighter. Though I should be a fan of both, since they both have an exciting style. I just rarely pay attention to the smaller weight classes. The biggest names I know in the smallest weight classes are Donaire and Darchinyan.

Super impressive performance by Montiel. Hats off to him. I hoipe he fights only big fights,he has the potential to be a p4p fighter.

haven't seen it but how was he robbed if he was knocked out? people claiming early stoppage.

I just noticed there's a lot of hozumi got robbed threads... lulz. haven't seen it but how was he robbed if he was knocked out?

I didn't see the fight. Did Montiel dominate or did Hasegawa look good too? No one dominated. Hozumi was obviously winning on points and ring generalship. Then out of the blue, left hook sends Hozumi to the ropes and it's over on his feet.

I didn't see the fight. Did Montiel dominate or did Hasegawa look good too? i had hasegawa winning on points before the fight was stopped.

Montiel will win again, it was no fluke. Unless his opponent learns something new and gets a trainer, Montiel will probably catch him again with similar punches and stop and hurt him. It has nothing to do with getting a new trainer. They had a gameplan for him and it didn't work out, back to the drawing board. From what little I did see(since it was 4rnds), I would tell Hozumi to pull a Mayweather/Dirrell in a rematch. The footwork advantage goes to Hozumi, just stick to the outside and stay away from the inside where Montiel's hooks are the most devestating. Hozumi got caught trying to be a champion, went into his opponent's world and got hurt for it. Now, he should win like a challanger, where he is best at.

I slept on Montiel. Great win for him, no matter what gets said about the stoppage. Time for a rematch. :boxing:

Montiel can be inconsistent at times because of his training and sometimes lack of determination/drive. That said, a motivated Cochulito can beat anyone under 118. His explosiveness, speed, ring IQ, and just the skill he has, especially in the left hand is great when he's motivated. That was why I was pissed when he didn't fight Donaire or Darchinyan when he had the chance to unify 115. He now gets the recognition that he deserves and can still fight one of them.

Montiel will win again, it was no fluke. Unless his opponent learns something new and gets a trainer, Montiel will probably catch him again with similar punches and stop and hurt him.
