    Would love a Japan vs U.K rivalry

    They need to bring more Japanese fighters to the U.K for these cards.
    They are tough as old boots and come to fight everytime, I can't recall ever seeing a Japanese fighter that didn't come in, in great shape.
    Its like they all have unlimited stamina lol

    Not the most skillful fighters but they can scrap. How tough was that Otake kid though taking those shots from Quigg who can **** like they was nothing? That guy was made of steel.

    Would be bad ass though a card filled with Japanese fighters vs U.K fighters or even bring more over instead of these guys who can't even be ar5ed getting in shape for the biggest fight of their lives. You're charging Christ knows what for a PPV full of mismatches, as if that ain't bad enough half of them can't even be bothered getting in shape!

    You probably don't want Groves in with a Japanese light middleweight though, they wouldn't be fading after 5 they would only just be getting started.

    I seriously need to watch more Japanese boxing and these guys give you your moneys worth and more besides everytime. If they did something like that I'd pay the PPV because I know it would be money well spent.

    Miura might fight one of the smith's if he can't get Uchiyama.

    They need to send some quality fighters there

      The code of the samurai, Bushido, lives on in their fighters. Honor until death.

      Some of the toughest SOBs I've seen. The fight between Omar Figueroa and Nihito Arakawa was brutal.

        I can get behind an initiative to bring more Japanese girls to the UK.

          Bit of a brutal mismatch if he fought Stephen Smith but that would be fireworks for as long as it lasted.

          Could put that on the Abril vs Crolla bill both Hearn fighters I think (Crolla and Smith) In fact they'll need fights like that because the card stinks thus far

            Not the most skillful fighters you say? #TeamYaegashi disagrees with you.

                Japan has plenty of skilled fighters. The ones that show up in Britain tend to be the lower quality ones that are nevertheless hard as nails. I mean as I understand it Otake has little pedigree in Japan.

                    Is that a serious question?
