I only know him when I go to Box Rec and notice that he's #8 on their p4p list. Probably the Chris John of Japan.

Note to Mr. Martinez: tuck your chin and get your right hand up when you fight a hard hitting lefty. You look like you're trying to get yourself killed.

I'd love to see Hasegawa try to unify the WBA (Japan doesn't recognize the IBF or WBO right?) and turn some more heads. Hope he gets a shot.

Hopefully he comes over here soon. It would be intelligent for him to get in the limelight while another Asian boxer is the P4P king, and so many people of Asian descent are paying attention to boxing.

Underrated, unknown to most, and a good champion. It says a lot about him that he has won 5 of his 8 fights since winning the belt by knockout, while he had only 5 in his 16 previous fights leading up to that point.

I just hope that he doesn't become a one-trick pony with that left hand, the way Pacquiao used to rely on it. I feel like he would benefit from training with Roach, but language would be an issue.
