Comments Thread For: Kazuto Ioka: I Have To Show I'm On A Different Level And Win By Landslide

I personally really appreciate Ioka. Unlike certain other high profile opponents, when he had a questionable draw, he took the rematch even at the cost of a belt and clearly won the fight. Shame Estrada ducked the fight ostensibly for money, just as Chocolatito did with Inoue, and ended up getting zero money instead of 1.5 million. Not really his fault they couldn't turn up a quality last minute opponent.

Real reason: didn't want that Nakatani smoke??

Possible. I didn't miss that Bam moved down when Nakatani moved up either. Junto is really sharp, great variety of punches, and very long and good at using his reach. I think he's going to be one of the elite around 115-118.

But I don't really think that Ioka ducks guys. Not really his style. Ducking Nakatani to correct a draw and then gunning for the top guy, who is often acknowledged as P4P? Not like he's fighting trash opponents instead of Nakatani, which is what ducking looks like.

Risk vs. reward. Fight the top guy, yes.

Fight a dangerous Nakatani, no.
