Uchiyama on Pacquiao undercard?!?!

[Hougigo]

The Pac v Mikey fight is not happening anytime soon. Mikey will have to move up 3 divisions. That's not happening, ARum knows how to build most events, this just isn't worth it...yet.

It could actually happen by Next year, IMO. If it's his last and he has a 135 this year, he could have a 140 by the end of the year, setting up a WW debut by next year. I don't know how I feel about him going all the way up there though

[just the facts]

I hope this is true, I'm looking forward to watching Uchiyama fight

IMO, doesn't make sense to me if it's a belt grab. I don't think Jose Felix would be ready for this and I doubt Arum thinks he'll seriously win.
Why would Arum feed Uchiyama a prospect if Garcia is moving up?
That or he's trying to build up a WBA/WBC unification in Macao.
He's trying to build Japanese audience there with more Japanese fighters in Macao

Then again... I don't think Felix Jr. is ready for this kind of fight...kid's still just a prospect

I like Felix but I agree with you, he's not ready for Uchiyama. I still think it better than Uchiyama's two defenses before Kaneko.

I thought Vasquez was alright... we'll see even more when he fights Fortuna in March

I think Uchiyama would beat the s**t out of Jose Felix. I think Uchiyama beats the s**t out of anyone at 130, including Mikey Garcia.

I'd rather see Takashi Uchiyama vs. Takashi Miura II to unify the W.B.C./W.B.A. titles.

I could see this happening late Summer... at least i hope it does

Uchiyama rules 130

I hope this is preparation for a unification with Mikey Garcia. Looking up that Jose Felix guy, nothing to me says that he is the guy to beat Uchiyama. I really want to see Garcia Uchiyama at some point.

Evidently Arum wants to catch Pac on the way out to add to Garcia's resume.
Expect C.J Ross to judge

[Hougigo]

Only thing I see Felix offering as trouble is movement. If Uchiyama goes to the body and invests, he could limit that and put the young man in a ton of trouble
