by Cliff Rold - The chance to add another belt to his trophy case may be coming.
Japan’s Tomoki Kameda has work to do first.
Saturday night (Showtime, 9 PM EST/PST), Kameda will attempt to defend his WBO Bantamweight title fir the third time. Reports from ESPN on Friday raised the stakes on that defense.
If Kameda wins, a showdown with sub-WBA titlist Jamie McDonnell (not to be confused with their “Super” champion Juan Carlos Payano) could be coming in early 2015. He has a solid veteran looking to knock that possibility off track. Kameda, like eldest brother Koki, is willing to use his legs when he needs them. Unlike Koki, he doesn’t seem as hesitant to let his hands go. The youngest of the world championship-winning Kameda trio is the most effective offensive fighter of the bunch.
His defensive attributes will be called on here.
Hernandez is not a fast fighter at all, but he is fundamentally pretty solid and his timing isn’t bad. He can apply smart pressure and will be forced to bring the fight forward to have a shot. If he can cut off the ring, rather than just follow when Kameda moves, he may have some success. [Click Here To Read More]
