All Hail Nihito Arakawa:The Man of Steel

[jimboinbigd]

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.

I think Fiddy needs to get on the phone with Richard Shaeffer and get his boy Gamboa a fight with Omar. That would be a good one, imo.

wow i missed every single fight tonight and i didnt even go out

the way you guys are talking are really making me wanna watch this fight but its not even on youtube yet



is there a round in specific which is the most brutal or showcasing?

[Jloro]

I think it's because Omar wasn't wearing trunks as cool as last time. Or because he punched himself out every two seconds. Nihito takes some bombs though.
Broner would kill either guy though

lol Fiddy doesn't do business with Golden Boy, and that Omar kid is under al haymon the guy fiddy tried to take Floyd from.

But Gamboa would get brutalized by that kid, Gamboa got dropped and hurt by some filipino journeyman on the pacquiao undercard, imagine this Figueroa kid who can take a punch and punch and pressure fight?

The entire 12 rounds were brutal. It was the kind of fight where you wish there were still 20, 30, and even 40 round fights. Though if it went that long one of these men would've surely died. Judging by the 12 rounds we saw, and the way Arakawa was coming on at the end, I think Figueroa would've died of exhaustion.

Broner too big but skill wise, Broner aint got shidt on either of them. Broner was a huge disappointment against Paulie. I hope Broner and Maidana get it on. Broner is flat-footed and will provide for a nice target against Maidana, unlike Alexander who kept popping and moving and proved to be too quick.

Broner needs to step up his game and stay at 140 and 147 and fight the top guys. It's put up or shut up time for that kid.

i hope so too. i'm all worn out from watching all 3 fights tonight. that card ****in delivered.

That card had all the ingredients of a classic. From top to bottom I felt like I got my money's worth. All 3 fights delivered and Nohito made me a fan. You better have hands of Steele if you face Nohito because his body from the waste up is made from the materials in the plaster of Paris.

You got your money's worth? That's the understatement of the night. That was the best trio of fights all on one card I can recall...and I've seen a lot of cards and fighters, including Ali fights when I was a kid, Sugar Ray Leonard fights, Tyson fights, and of course the Manny and Floyd fights in recent years.

I challenge anyone to come up with a better 3 fights on one card...ever? Not saying it doesn't exist, but I'm not aware of them.
