Tanaka is a badass

Makes Ioka's win over him look ever better TBH. Boxing is really rising in Japan as it dies over here.

Ioka is underappreciated these days mainly due to his rather unexciting fight style compared to Naoya and the off the ring stuff that happened recently, but he definitely is a legend of Japanese boxing. He was also the first Japanese boxer to win 4 divisions (followed by Inoue then Tanaka).

On a random trivia, Tanaka and Takuma were the same age and when Takuma was in highschool as a first year he lost to Tanaka in the finals of the interhigh competition.

Read a stat recently that Naoya Inoue has scored more 10-8 rounds than 10-9. A guy with a stat like that is a tough act to follow.
