Sounds good Japan has a lot of very good fighters in the lower weight classes.

I hope its Inoue's team making the offer. It's a great fight for the division and could be on a great card. I read Yaegashi and Yamanaka are both trying to line up fights in April too.

Yes, He's Naoya Inoue. I think that Honda will make 2 cards in April. Yamanaka vs Jamoye, Kiko Martinez vs Hasegawa, Inoue vs "confesor" Hernandez, "chocolatito" Gonzalez vs Estrada, Yaegashi vs TBA, Ao vs TBA... Uff!!! 3 fights in every card

I'd love to see Adrian Hernandez vs. Naoya Inoue. I'd be rooting for Naoya "Monster" Inoue in that one, but I think it's a 50-50 fight.

That would be awesome if this happened. Yamanak been trying out the U.S, but I do think his next fight is in Japan in April. April a very exciting time for JP boxing. Hozumi's title class was just confirmed for OsakaI think

April 23rd is a Honda/Teiken card with the Yamanaka and Hasegawa fights.

Inoue will NOT be on a Teiken show and I doubt Yaegashi will. They will however be on an April show for Ohashi (who are celebrating their 20th anniversary in April). It's with that in mind that I think Yaegashi gets an "easier" defence before Gonzalez takes his pick as to which champion he wants.

Inoue IS almost certainly the guy who is heading towards the Hernandez fight.

Ohashi may not be as famous as Teiken but they have a GREAT stable right now, could put on a monster card for the anniversary.

Hernandez is fighting Inoue Apr.6 which is a weekend
