And these 10 fights don't even scratch the surface of Mexico vs. Japan showdowns that can be made. I'll list some more in the comments. And they're probably not even the best fights either, I was just trying to use various weight divisions for the poll.

Kinda of unrelated but I love the artwork! Both flags look beautiful.

Mikey Garcia vs. Takashi Uchiyama - Uchiyama wins by vicious KO

Juan Francisco Estrada vs. Akira Yaegashi - Sorry, can never pick against Yaegashi, but I realise that isn't objective

Giovani Segura vs. Kazuto Ioka - I think Segura takes this one at Flyweight, at Light flyweight i'll easily pick Ioka.


those are my three favourite, Uchiyama vs Garcia gets my vote though

Shinsuke Yamanaka vs Hugo Ruiz would be a good scrap at Bantamweight

or Tomoki Kameda could one up his brother and beat Ruiz in more 'spectacular' fashion. Or does he count as a Mexican now?

I got Uchiyama over Garcia too. I think Uchiyama will beat the snot out of Garcia.

Segura and Ioka are both at 112 right now so that's why I didn't specify a weight. This is the only one I can't pick a winner, .

And I got Estrada over Yaegashi. I love both Estrada and Yaegashi, but I think Estrada takes it.

They sure do!

Ah, yeah, Yamanaka vs. Ruiz is a good one. Two sluggers. I think Ruiz is at 122 right now though. Mexico is probably at its all-time low at 118 right now because all of their Bantamweights moved up to 122.

Tomoki Kameda vs. Ruiz would be good too. Haha, whether Kameda counts as Japanese or Mexican, I'd be rooting for El Mexicanito either way, .

[Aztekkas]

Shinsuke is my personal favourite at 118. If he does manage to land a fight with LSC(highly doubt this) at 122, I would be behind the stud %100. He's such a ****ing boss.

[SlySlickSmooth]

What would be Mexico's terminology for their version of Japan's Samurai Code of Bushido?

A quote or story?
