Comments Thread For: Takashi Uchiyama-Israel Perez Set For December 31

They can prolly get Salido in there with Uchiyama, plus its now a unification since Mikey moved up.

Uchiyama said he'd fight Garcia.

Arum tried to make the fight Garcia/HBO did not want it.

Who else is there really? 130 isn't that deep a weight class.

Perez is ranked 83rd by boxrec at 130 because he's basically a club-level fighter who has never beaten anyone. Obviously not all 82 are available, but when you fight once a year, defending against somebody in the top 25 would be nice.

Salido/Miura was kicked around for Singapore.... so I hope this fight is kicked around

Rod Salka was talking to me a last week. Hes making a run at Super feather, to hopefully get a shot against Salido. I told him about Uchiyama and Miura , he said he'll would love to make the trip any day to fight them. ( True Story ) But we will most likely see an unification bout between Miura or against Salido. Not sure if it matters but WBO is not recognized in Japan

WBO isn't recognized? I thought them with the IBF were recently recognized?

Isn't Takayama fighting for a vacant WBO belt?
