Comments Thread For: Kamegai, Linares Provide Thrlls To Fight Fans in Sactown

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Sacramento fight fans reacquainted themselves with an old friend as the Memorial Auditorium played host to welterweight sensation Yoshihiro Kamegai’s American television debut, a majority draw with Jorge Silva.

In a compelling brawl, Kamegai (21-0-1, 18 KOs) made good on his reputation as an action fighter, continuously exchanging onslaughts with Silva (18-2-2, 14 KOs), who gave an equally thrilling performance in a very close bout that could have tipped in either direction.

Could have tipped either direction?
Please, Kamegai won that

Awesome fights. The Kamegai-Silva bout, the people went crazy for that one.

Kamegai should have won but a draw is still better then losing. You're fighting away from home so you whould already know the drill .

to me linares didn't exactly shine against an old fighter...a young,strong guy is going to make it very difficult for linares,he better get the title from titere vazquez(no power) because he's not going to get it from broner/demarco winner,or ricky burns

I totally agree... Dude has skills. On another thread people talked about him not having good defensive skills but he only got hurt/cought during exchanges which could happen to anyone. We will definately be seing more of kamagei in the future!!!

I'd say less than 1000 if I had to guess. From ring walk footage, didn't look like a lot of seats were taken

De La Hoya was clowning Linares a little bit on twitter last night.

Kamegai punches are very accurate so he doesn't waste alot of his throws. This guy can break you down over time easily if you don't match him punch for punch. Kamegai vs Paulie The Cracker would be a good fight.
