I wonder how Kamegai will handle the move up in weight, I've only seen him at JWW.

This is turning out to be a good card.

[any craic lad?]

Kamegai is a good puncher but Soto is probably the toughest fighter around.Soto Karass 8th round stoppage

Kamegai is a nice, friendly person. He just beat all opposition in and near Japan, and it is getting harder for him to make weight of 140lb. That's why he's moving up to welterweight. I've seen him fight many times, and Karass twice. I am thinking that Kamegai can decision Karass, not for the power and tenacity of Karass, but due to Kamegai's superior defensive skills.
