Where is Hozumi Hasegawa?

[any craic lad?]

Horacio Garcia is very average. The only comparison to another fighter that I can think of is Leo Santa Cruz's last opponent, Jesus Ruiz. Garcia isn't as good as Ruiz though (unless he improved a lot). I think Carl Frampton was using Horacio Garcia as his primary sparring partner for the Chris Avalos fight so maybe that made Garcia a better fighter.

Hasegawa vs. Garcia should be a competitive fight. Hasegawa is shot or near shot, and Garcia just isn't anything special despite what his inflated record says.

Jesus that's grim but with Hasegawa's chin at this stage and the fact that Garcia can lick at least a bit it could be interesting

My number 1?

He's done tbh. He just doesn't have the passion in him anymore. I watched his heart fade away in his last fight.

I'll still watch him whenever he fights and will always cheer him on but Hozumi isn't world class anymore, even though I wish I could say otherwise.

His chin isn't bad.

He broke his jaw somewhere in the first 3 rounds of the Kochulito fight and continued fighting up until the point he got caught in the ropes.

Then he took a flush shot with his hands down against Johnny but didn't have his legs, though he was up with his gloves up.

Against, Kiko, that was all his heart. He just doesn't have that fire inside to box for real anymore.

So I wouldn't say he has a bad chin.
