Lil guy is pretty decent. He's 11-0, 7 Kos and a 2x division champ by his 8th fight. He just moved to flyweight. If he fights for a title next and wins should he get a mention too? Do you think he will? Would it damper Loma a bit to not be the only guy on that island in so short a time? They seem to be moving these Japanese guys fast too these days. #daretobegreat
I like him, but(or because?) he's volnurable, gets hurt, gets dropped, goes life and death with tough but limited fighters.
Two fights ago he fought that Thai kid who didn't look world class - and his face was a mess after that, I believe he had fractured orbital bone.
I think he's going to be in some great fights in up-coming years, but will probably retire quickly - just as Kazuto Ioka.
And Kosei has not taken a loss to a brawler with over eleven losses and KO five times. They say H*mochenko got hit in the nuts, Kosei suffered career ending injury defending his world title in 2017 and STILL got the W -- did he cry and have his promoters make videos about his sad performance online? NO.
WBO flyweight champion Sho Kimura was ringside for Kosei Tanaka vs. Ronnie Baldonado for Tanakas flyweight debut, we expect the showdown in 2018, if Kosei is victorious he makes the arguement for top ten P4P...I know these haters wont consider him any good because they actually have to go look for the fights online or be told by ESPN who is 'elite'.
Kosei could of been unified at 108 before his eleventh pro fight but injury ( eye-sockets ) suffered in his successful defense of his WBO light-flyweight title against Rangsan Chayanram kept him away from IBF-WBA champion Ryoichi Taguchi. Moises Fuentes and Angel Acosta are/were world champions, both on Kosei's resume.
The kid is only 22 years old, very capable and can have a HOF career, sadly will probably never be heard of from many casuals in the western hemisphere...but theres hope as the flweights have been making real noise the past five years appearing on American and even UK television.
You were saying the same of that Daigo Higa boom.
Stop with the bull.sh.it.
Tanaka does not have a good name in his resume at this moment of his career

Don't be an idiot.
Salido is way better than this japanese kid and probably Tanaka won't have a career as the career of Salido.

That's what I'm thinking. Buddy making moves at 22. I know he's not American known but his accomplishments should be.
