Sasaki is not a welterweight. He should fight at 140lb. I like Sasaki's intelligent fight styles so fluid and flexible to his opponents that he scored numerous wins over those who were apparently better than him. But those happened on Japanese soil. Let's wait and see whether Sasaki can hold his own outside of his home turf and put up a fight as he pleases.Comment
