    Amazing performance by Arakawa. Figueroa through the kitchen sink at him and he just kept on coming.i didn't think he would see the final bell but he proved me wrong. How did he take those body shots?

      I completely understand, bro. I'm ****ing exhausted over here myself, and I didn't even throw a punch.

      HBO needs to step their game up.

        In the Guru chat, everyone was calling him "The J*p," "The Japanese," "Chinese guy," or whatever in the first couple rounds.

        By round three everyone knew his name.

        Words cannot describe the respect.

        The fans who got to attend this event tonight witnessed something special. That was as strong a card as in just about any era. Incredible fights tonight.

          What a warrior, that was some punishment. I'm sure that he's going to be bed ridden for a couple weeks.

              Yeah, he won me over big time. I thought he looked tough after round 1, but after round 2 and beyond that I knew we were witnessing a truly tough son of a b1tch in the ring. Also, his main problem was not having the firepower to compete. He was actually good in the pocket, though, and pushed Figueroa back all night long.

              Anyways, huge respect to the Japanese warrior. That kind of heart transcends boxing and is just something to behold.

                    If only 80% of his punches were not arm punches.

                      That guy def has mad heart, biggest heart to be honest, because unlike some other guys, this guy had no power, and his punchers were thrown so slow he mad Angulo look fast.

                      Damn man, he made Paulie Malignaggi look like a power puncher, but he could take.

                      If this Japanese arakawa had some power on his punches he would have took that kid Omar out, but this is the type of war Omar is lucky that the guy didn't have the pop to ruin him because if arakawa had pop on his punch Omar would have aged 5 years from this fight alone it was mostly brutal because this guy wouldn't go to sleep, Omar bruised both his fists hitting that Japanese guy thats how brutal it was.
