WBC bantamweight champion Shinsuke Yamanaka calls out Rigondeaux.

Here we go again with this "balls" talk nonsense. All he did was mention Rigondeaux's name and he's got "BALLS" :lol1: Innit Dirk. Hes reached the same level of balls as LSC so far. Let's see what his promoters think. Hope the fight can get made

I would like to see this fight happen, since Yamanaka can't fight Payano who just signed with Haymon.

Dun dun dun..... Meanwhile back in Japan, Rio has catapulted to P4P #3.:alcoholic

Maybe McDonell if he beats Tomoki....Cab will probably have to fight Iwasa if he wins... unless he unifies with Yamanaka.... let's see what happens

I think Rigo should go try to become a two-division titlist. That would enhance his value and increase his pool of potential opposition. Rigo vs. Yamanaka and Kameda?! I'm on board.

Get it made @118 and get Inoue in with the winner!

Yamanaka's a cool, well rounded fighter - good fight :boxing:

I wanted Moreno to fight him but this is a major upgrade to that matchup Mos def and to be honest with you Moreno has his hands full between staying married or divorced lol, plus he is hungry for te Payano rematch but it seems like the new champion is reluctant to give him the opportunity to regain his belt. On a previous thread I remember people asking if Japan had any decent fighters around Rigo's weight and Shinsuke was the first one I mentioned. He is by far the best opposition Rigo could face from 118 at this moment.

Get familiar with the man, he is by far the best bantamweight in the world and has one of boxing's most devastating left hands. Check out his brutal KO over Tomas Rojas a few years back to get an idea of his power... He has excellent wins over Ryosuke Iwasa, Christian Esquivel, Vic Darchinyan, Tomas Rojas and Suriyan Sor Rungvisai. With a record of 22 victories 16 by KO 0 Losses and 2 Draws, this will be one of Rigo's greatest challenges to overcome since plunging into the pro ranks. Or perhaps I'm just overhyped because Shinsuke Yamanaka is in my personal top ten active fighters :lol1: Either way, great fight. Hope it gets made.

I love it. I'd be lying if I said I knew of the guy, but I hope he gets his crack at Rigo.

Rigo could make bantamweight for that fight very very easy he is tiny for him going one division down is a lot more realistic than going up he rehydrates to 126 ffs. But Wtf happened to boxing only Japanese people got champions with balls now?

Yesssssssss! I got my boy Shinsuke stretching out Rigo from a brutal left hand. WR Yamanaka!

The guy is 3 inches taller it said he'd prob move up for rigo. Rigo is about to become the real life Godzilla in japan:boxing: Lol. The Real Life Godzilla... Rigondeaux might just have to chamchange his nick name to Guillermo "The Godzilla" Rigondeaux

Yamanaka's much better than Amegasa. Japan had adopted Rigondeaux.

Get it made, I doubt this happens though

I love it. I'd be lying if I said I knew of the guy, but I hope he gets his crack at Rigo.

Much respect to the fighters in Japan who has the BALLS and want to fight the best in Rigondeaux while these fighters in the States are making excuses, Ignoring him and Hiding Behind Their Fathers :nonono: (I Like Leo Santa Cruz by the way but that is some BS)

These Japanese fighters just do NOT GIVE A FU*K. I need to find me an online channel to support these guys because they are what boxing should be about. Get this fight done. The best at 122 vs. the best at 118.

Not like anyone else will fight Rigo.
