    i label him the sadistic beast ... soften, smashing the opponent for 11 rounds and deliver the fatal blow few seconds before the end of the 12th and final round... worth all the money we pay to see him fight ... almost 12 rounds of annihilation...

      He basically had moved up two weight classes, he only had one bout at Super flyweight.

      Japan has another HOF in the making with plenty of options available at Bantamweight.

        Look at the frame on him he will move a few more weight classes yet.

                Dude is going to be able to keep moving up quite a few more divisions too.

                  Yeah he has a pretty long frame, eventually he will fighting at featherweight at some point of his career as he just turned 25 years old. Figueroa has similar dimensions and was already struggling to cut at 122.

                  For now he has options like:

                  -Reymart Gaballo
                  -Emmanuel Rodriguez
                  -Vincent Astrolobio
                  -Paul Butler
                  -Nonito Donaire (I know pass it, still dangerous though)
                  -Takuma Inoue
                  -Gary Antonio Russell
                  -Jerwin Ancajas
                  -Khalid Yafai
                  -Jason Maloney
                  -Nordine Oubaali

                      This fight was at 115. No doubt he’ll be at 118 in the near future though.
