Comments Thread For: Kai Ishizawa Misses Weight, WBO Title Only At Stake For Masataka Taniguchi In Tokyo

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Kai Ishizawa still has the chance to avenge his lone career defeat. It won't any longer come with a major title at stake. The first time challenger from Sagamihara, Japan faces disciplinary action but at least still has a fight to look forward to after badly missing weight ahead of his rematch with WBO strawweight titlist Masataka Taniguchi. Friday's show will proceed at the famed Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, though with its main event barely intact. Ishizawa (10-1, 9KOs) put his fight with Taniguchi in jeopardy after weighing 110 pounds on his second attempt, well above 105-pound strawweight limit for his originally planned challenge of Taniguchi's WBO title. The 25-year-old challenger was 110 1/2 pounds on his first try.

Lose five more pounds! It sounds so easy. Not when you weigh 110 lbs it's not.

5lbs over is a big amount at any weight, especially so at strawweight.
