Former Japanese LW champ and OPBF champion....I've never seen him fight, but will check him out.

I would like to see which country has the better fighters.....the BBC or JBC?

Very good fight. Shakur Stevenson is reminding me of Floyd Mayweather in his early days - too good, quickly running out of people willing to fight him.

One could argue the winner of this mini “tournament”
with Yoshida, Shakur, Haney, and Lomanchenko, is P4P number 1.

Brick City Stand Up! Shakur making it happen! Salute!

This is a very good matchup. This fight will really show where Shakur belongs. I have a feeling he belongs at the top of the division.

I really wanted to see Navarrte vs Shakur.

Shuichiro Yoshino is actually quite underrated, he is like the Japanese William Zepeda who's relentless by applying nonstop pressure and has a good gas tank. He also has two decent wins in Masayoshi Nakatani and Masayuki Ito by stoppage.

Though I would argue that Zepeda's wins over Hector Tanjara Jr and Joseph Diaz are more impressive because they have overall better wins.
