Hozumi Hasegawa/Jhonny Gonzalez Results

Hozumi wants to be hit, there's nothing we can do about it. LOL Yeah nacho, this guy is a great trainer, even pactards know that. :lol1: Yeah, props to Nacho too. In a few days, I can see him driving his sweet shelby mustang around Mexico City with a huge smile on his face.

Gonzales has definitely turned his career for the better since his loss to Penalosa. Good win vs a quality opponent.Congrats to mexican boxing, carnal. Gonzales' story is the greatest turnaround of the year, hope he continues to win great fights.

Yeah, Gonzalez really needed this one. Almost everyone expected Hozumi to win. I can't even imagine how happy he must be right now. I wouldn't mind seeing a rematch though. But not until Hozumi learns to get his whole body out of the way and not to try to reach/grab punches like what he tried to do today. Hozumi wants to be hit, there's nothing we can do about it. LOL Yeah, I think a lot of people would've agreed with you Kad. Plus, there's just some thing about Beristain; he knows how to train fighters for southpaws.Yeah nacho, this guy is a great trainer, even pactards know that. :lol1:

You weren't alone. I gave Jhonny a good chance because of how Montiel blasted out Hasegawa. Hasegawa is an entertaining fighter. It's not hard to see why people hyped him up. You think hazegawa is glass chinned? No way can he develop that chin. I know montiel and gonzales are strong punchers but as entertaining as he is, hazegawa just showed that strong punchers can easily put his early works into smoke. Same thing happened to Jhonny in his fight against Gerry, he was winning the fight until that body punch.

I thought JG's career is over and honestly I thought hazegawa would win thin this one, I'm glad to be proven wrong. Yeah, I think a lot of people would've agreed with you Kad. Plus, there's just some thing about Beristain; he knows how to train fighters for southpaws.

Nishioka isn't a terrific puncher, but his straight left is very quick and straight. He's capable of at least hurting the majority of fighters at 122. But I agree about the last part. I'd even throw the Izzy fight in there. Gonzalez became an underachiever IMO.I thought JG's career is over and honestly I thought hazegawa would win thin this one, I'm glad to be proven wrong.

I agree that it was a dumb move on Hasegawa's part to move up to 126 but Gonzales was ko'ed by Nishioka, who is not a terrific puncher, at 122 so Gonzales was the underdog at the books. I think it was a case of Gonzales being underrated because of his spectacular ko losses ie Nishioka and Penalosa. Nishioka isn't a terrific puncher, but his straight left is very quick and straight.

S Moving up two weight classes to fight a pure power puncher wouldn't exactly be called "exposed", its called expected. I guy who was knocked out at Bantamweight will surely be KO'd two weight classes above against a guy that contains the power to do so. Not to mention Hozumi's biggest flaw is that he likes to be hit. Gonzalez was stopped at bantamweight too, not to mention twice at super bantamweight. Anyway, props to him for taking home the title.

Exactly. If it continued the way it was going prior to the stoppage. I could see Hozumi winning a really close decision. Or maybe even better than a close decision if Gonzalez slowed down, because it was clear that Hozumi's move was to work the body early. I was hoping that that would be one of the biggest improvements he would make by learning from the Montiel fight, but like you said, he likes to be hit. He should already know that he doesn't have the power to be trading especially considering the weight class he's in now. Yup, exactly. He didn't have the power at Bantam either, and he still believes he trade now. Hozumi has all the skill and talent in the world, but he's so damn stuborn in the ring.

People used to be so high on this guy, saying he should be in the top 10 P4P :lol1: The hypejob got exposed soon enough. LOL, as soon as Burner aka No Ceilings gets on a bandwagon it comes crashing down.

I don't think it was expected, but you are right in that Hasegawa wasn't necessarily exposed. Well, I think anybody who wasn't being delusional saw this coming. The man went to war with Burgos and got hurt for it, and Burgos doesn't hit as hard as Gonzalez. The many is too willing to trade, and I always though it was a terrible decision to move up two weight classes. He certainly showed that he's extremely small for the weight in his two fights there.

I don't think Hasegawa was exposed, he was a very good fighter a bantamweight. However, I did think he becoming overrated by many on here. People were saying he was 'unbeatable' at the weight, despite the fact his best win was a Sahaprom on the slide and never really beat elite fighters in the division. He got his rep due to his consistency and longevity.

How bad was it? Not as bad as what happened in the Montiel fight. Hit with a straight shot that sent him backwards and down. He got up, but you can tell he was shaken. He seemed coherent and looked to be showing the ref that he wanted to continue pretty clearly, but the ref didn't give him a chance to defend and survive the round. I'm not sure if it's a Japanese thing to stop fights with the slightest bit of danger, but looking from what happened in the Montiel/Donaire fight there was definitely a difference. I would've preferred the ref give Hozumi a few more seconds to defend himself before finally stopping it.
