Damn, reading the headline I thought Ancajas was going to commit suicide in the ring by fighting The Monster.

Funny how Inoue doesn't have near the punching power of his older brother.
He is a talented boxer though, similar to Naoya.

Great opportunity here for Ancajas to win another world title.

How good is Dalakian? If anything, Akui has the equalizer.

I guess this is the make it or break it step-up for Tatsuyoshi, who was
gifted a draw against Imamura... props to him for the effort.
Must be hard being the son of a legend.

Dalakian is good, not great, and tends to be very inactive, especially for these weight classes.

Being a child of a former legend in the same sport is always hard, but I wonder how it feels to be the younger brother of the boxer who is likely to become a 2 division undisputed in December lol
Especially being the current champion of a belt which was last vacated by the said brother after he wiped out the division just last year.

By the way, minor trivia but if Akui were to win his match and Takuma defends his, I believe it might be the first time in Japanese boxing history that they would have 8 male boxing world champions at once spanning six divisions: Naoya Inoue 122, Takuma Inoue 118, Kazuto Ioka and Junto Nakatani 115, Seigo Yuri Akui 112, Kenshiro Teraji 108, and Yudai/Ginjiro Shigeoka brothers at 105.
