Japanese Boxing Scene

[mehoe]

Hey guys I'm not too familiar with the boxers/boxing scene over in Japan, but I've heard they have really good fights especially in the smaller weight classes (minimum weight, straw weight, etc...) I was wondering if maybe someone can give me some names of the better, more exciting boxers over there. Also if you know of any exciting FOTY type fights that have happened over there please let me know. I'm looking to broaden my horizons so to speak.

OMG saw this yesterday and was blown away but the intensity of these men.
Thank you guys, I have truly became a fan of the smaller weight classes and Japanese boxers. Now to source the other fight mentioned.

To tell the truth the age of the fight doesn't bother me one bit. (I've got Jack Johnson fights archived on my HD).
Ioka vs Yageshi - still looking for this one.
Hasegawa fights will be watched next.
Thanks guys.
