Comments Thread For: Elwin Soto Secures Controversial Stoppage of Takayama in Ninth

[_Rexy_]

Currently, Jr. flyweight is lacking, Elwin Soto, Hiroto Kyoguchi, Felix Alvarado and Kenshiro are the top dogs. However, Roman Gonzalez, Kosei Tanaka, Naoya Inoue, Kazuto Ioka, Donnie Nietes, have come from 108 ; I'm sure anyone with real boxing knowledge wont deny the talent of these P4P caliber champions. As such, one must recognize that these '' little guys'' are worth watching, based on the notable achievements that the aforementioned.

Takayama went 12 rounds with Chocolatito back in 2009, but homeboy is gonna say he doesn't have the skills...

Takayama went 12 rounds with Chocolatito back in 2009, but homeboy is gonna say he doesn't have the skills...

I remember, one of my favorite fights from both Takayama and Gonzalez. The comments from those that dont know about lighter-weight boxers are funny, Katsunari Takayama did not fight like a typical Japanese fighter, he would take after Muhammad Ali and even did the Ali-Shuffle against Mario Rodríguez, in rounds 2 and 6 to win the IBF miniweight title, in Mexico. Takayama was so O.G, a trail-blazer, they don't even know

He WAS retired. One fight in 5 years, took this on 30 days notice. DAZN trying to pick the biggest cherry possible.

Why are you fine with a BS stoppage just because you don't like the fighters?

EDIT - and for someone who was getting "beaten to a pulp" you'd expect some sort of facial damage to a fighter with high cheekbones...

I was fine with the stoppage because he was taking big shots that was ganking his head around after all there IS A BRAIN inside there and that's where the real damage takes place like when you're brain is violently sloshing around. They're too small to damage soft tissue or something.

stoppage was at the wrong time but the japanese guy has no chance. fight was gonna end in the next couple round anyways.
