    naoya - ball/goodman winner
    junto: i want him against seiya, naoya, takei or bam but those won't happen. everybody else is irrelevant to me.
    kenshiro: i wanted him to fight yabuki for the lineal title. since he lost, i guess willibaldo garcia or retire.
    takei: junto or tenshin but those won't happen. everything else is irrelevant.
    hiraoka mandatory wba title fight at 140.

    the rest aren't championship calibre yet.
    that means only naoya and hiraoka will be in meaningful fights.

      From what I think I read, Yoshiki Takei is defending his WBO title against Christian Medina in September 25, Medina has a deceptive record, 3 out of 4 losses is before he turned 19 years old and he gave Ryosuke Nishida a tough bout 2 years ago, started well then struggled with Nishida's distance management and skill, then Medina figured Nishida out in rounds 11-12, timing well and rocking him in both rounds. Still, Nishida won 8-4 to me in the scorecards. It be somewhat like Daigo Higa, Takei is offensively more skilled and has longer dimensions that could knock out his opponent, but he fighting against a stocky durable fighter that has renown power giving him a puncher's chance. Specially considering Takei's defense is not as refined.

      Hiraoka is attempting to fight Russell, but so far no info has been given after talks was mentioned quite some weeks/months ago.

      Kenshiro needs to recover and plan his next move so not sure yet. Yabuki vs Sandoval could pretty interesting itself for December if Sandoval can recover the next 2 months and train starting October-November, then the trilogy could happen afterwards if Yabuki wins.

      Nakatani like Nishida, have mentioned that they are moving towards 122, Nakatani vs Nery or Nakatani vs Tapales might be quite enticing, specially considering to both have bounced back from the loss and are available. Nishida likely can't fight due to the punishment inflicted he got from Nakatani.

      Inoue's brother, Takuma Inoue, is in talks to fight Jose "Chapulin" Salas for the going to be vacant IBF Bantamweight title in September-November.

      Any other fights that could be, Tenshin Nakusawa vs Nonito Donaire for WBA title eliminator and Hayato Tsutsumi vs Jazza ****ens for WBA title eliminator.
