    Ok, cool.

    I know this isn't exactly the place for it, but what do you think of Kazuto Ioka?

        I'm impressed that he beat Kunishige so early in his career, he looks like he has some things to work on, looks a little open to right hands but he has potential, I'm looking out for him.

          Good looking, for a second there I thought I was the only one who thought that.

          Peace.

            I was telling that to another poster. I was very impressed with how he dealt with the whole fight. There was a lot of clinching and fouling going on and he didn't seemed preoccupied with. Did you catch when he popped his shoulder up in 9th, when Kunishige was resting his head on it?

            I was surprised to see that he stopped Matsumoto. Granted, Matsumoto was over matched and out gunned, but he still went the distance with Gonzalez (though I never saw Gonzalez-Matsumoto, did you?), who punches very hard for a strawweight IMO.
