Would love to see Uchiyama test the waters at lightweight, he would beat Burns imo.

MAN!
Ughhhh, guess I'll catch an upload later.
Kind of saw the KO, not so much the upset of Kono.
Anybody watch the fight?
Was it as close as they said it was?
If not, looks like judging in Japan isn't too bad

It was a good call. Nip and tuck throughout. Solis deserved to win, but Kono definitely offered a credible account of himself. Scoring was accurate. I saw it 114-112, one round either way was fine.

Uchiyama vs Gamboa would be a great fight.
