How is “Jap” a racial slur when all it is an abbreviation of “Japanese”? It’s like saying calling someone a “Brit” is racist.

Historical context. Just look it up. It may not be a slur in other parts of the world, but in the US it is.

It’s like the word Pákï. In the US it means nothing but in the UK, it is a racial slur.

that cocky japanese got put to sleep... i didnt really like how he tried to act tough during the face off.

dude didnt really have no skills... that KO was set up perfectly... the japanese guy is not a smart fighter. fell for the bait.

Norman a nasty hooker

I don’t understand Sasaki box style. He was winging no setup overhands

you need to be Roy Floyd Bernard to do lead right hands

Floyd would still setup most of his rights and not lead with an overhand

dude got set up... he tried to be tough with no boxing IQ... Norman went low and hit him with a body shot, and the japanese guy tried to come right back with his own body shot but this time Norman went up and clipped the japanese on the chin. Before that KO, Norman was already going to the body then comes right back up to the head but the japanese guy didnt realize it, because he was trying to get his get back right away. Norman was already setting him up.

Is that a reliable source? Seems kinda cheap once your at the site

I think the numbers are legit, but yet to be officially proven. The numbers of his 2 last fights previous to Sasaki are verified. But the PPV numbers from Japan are not. Not yet at least.

Boots moving up could be a blessing in disguise for Norman. He could become undisputed at 147 easily while the weight class is light in talent. Once he’s done that move up to 154 and make whatever fight he wants honestly and have way more leverage of Worst Toyota Camry. He just made himself a lot of money and won himself a lot of bargaining power moving forward.

Teo could even enforce his mandatory status against Norman, if I’m not mistaken.
