Credit to them for finding the footage which must have been a ballache to get
Good move by Inoue. Regarding his weight his father said that he was more comfortable at 115 than 108 and was draining down significantly, you could sort of see it in his face at times.
Hmmmm...I don't really think this fight should get bonus points because it was higher-profile than the rest. That's giving it a boost for something that had nothing to do with the specifics of the action in the ring.
It's a bit like thinking the best movies are the ones with the biggest names and that the best albums have to have been high in the charts isn't it?
A lot of the best fights of the past few years have been ignored by the wider boxing media, such as Lorenzo Villanueva Vs Daud Cino Yordan or Taek-Min Kim vs Sonny Manakane
Thanks for the update, wasn't aware of this. It seems like Thailand want to capture all the belts at 112, I just hope they don't hold the belts hostage like their fighters tend to do. If Reveco fights away from home he will lose his belt. Felix Alvarado put a beating on him and the damn ref not only deducted points unfairly but saved Reveco from a possible stoppage… i mean wtf? I want Felix to get another crack at a championship or put him in there with a top 10 Flyweight. The kid is a machine and should be the champion right now. Koki Eto vs Felix Alvarado or Casimero's "debut" at 112 against Felix would be a barnburner.
I swear a lot of folks are missing out on one of the most exciting and competitive if not THE most exciting and competitive weightclass out.
How anyone can ignore the division which features Koki Eto I will never know. It's a fact that Koki Eto fights=awesome
Thailand a hard place to win in. Judging is do off sometimes and some of te fights are outdoors, so you gotta deal with the humidity. Don't know if this fight is, but it's going to be a hard one
Even the fights indoors aren't fought in nice conditions. Lots of unique things for fights in Thailand
it wasnt a KO, boxrec lists it as retired ....im presuming this guy lasted the round and quit in his corner?
Footage is available here:

It's a very odd ending with the "camera" basically being dropped at the end of the round
Koki Eto is full blown guts and nuts bro. He got smacked around in his last 2 fights but boy did he spit on the face of adversity and shot back up until he was stopped or stopped his foe. Truly one of the most entertaining fighters out there.
Thailand is about to have 2 champions at 112. I like their outdoor set up. So gritty yet lively it's fitting for a SouthEast Asian boxing events.
His last 2 fights will stand out but his fight with Porpramook was FOTY 2013 worthy and his bout with Denchailek Kratingdaenggym was great as well. Most fun to watch P4P boxer on the planet.
Maruta will debut against Jason Canoy (who is ranked by both the WBC and the IBF) on November 22nd at the Sumiyoshi Ward Centre, Osaka

Oleksandr Usyk

Egor Mekhontsev
We're heading to a very exciting era of boxing!
Look at these Japanese youngsters coming through all at once, what an amazing time is must be to be a Japanese boxing fan.
I've followed Kyotaro's whole career in K-1 (the former kickboxing mecca of the world) and I've always liked the dude. He probably won't go to the moon in the Heavyweight scene but I always enjoyed watching him fight.
Christ, I thought I was the only guy that knew Kyotaro was a boxer now lol.
www.Boxingprospect.info brought him to my attention, looks like he could be exciting. Saw the 2nd round of his second bout and he appears to hit pretty damned hard. Think he's got more potential as a boxer than Hari.
Andy Ruiz Jr looks very promising, Glazkov looks like he could be special and Kyotaro Fujimoto has seriously caught my eye....not sure how far any will go but it's nice to see that a bunch of fighters are emerging.

A good few heavyweights on there worth a look. Most of them are pretty obvious but Dinu seems to have flown under the radar.
Fastest hands in he heavy weight division:boxing: Future first mexican champ needs to drop some pounds tons of potential still undeafeated
Freaky fast hands...he also has impressive movement as well which I was shocked by.
I'll just put this here,
How good is Erik Morales' lil bro? ?
does have some potential or even good potential?
There is some potential there, he'll never be Erik but he has got potential.
The future is certainly exciting if your American. Nice to see Andy Ruiz Jr getting some Kudos, the guy does look like Arreola but god damn is he fast.
In all honesty Andy Ruiz probably has the best chance, Jordan Shimmell could be worth keeping an eye on as well. Hanks my get a title shot if he keeps winning but Wilder's complete lack of developmental fights will prevent him from living up to his potential.
I think Nakatani got Tsuchiya with a good one a while back, I remember Nakatani really landing some nasty body shots before the stoppage and think the KO came from one.
Maybe give a glance to Takashi Uchiyama as well, if you like body shots his one to Parra earlier this year will please you.
Sergei Kovalev is worth a watch as well
