Comments Thread For: Nobuhiro Ishida Calls Time, Retires From Boxing

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Over the weekend at the Prefectual Gymnasium in Osaka, there was a card held under the promotion of the Green Tsuda Boxing Gym in Osaka.

During that card there was a farewell ceremony in honor of former interim-WBA junior middleweight world champion Nobuhiro Ishida (27-11-1, 11KOs, 39 years of age and Green Tsuda Boxing Gym), who decided to hang up his gloves for good.

He turned pro in May of 2000 in Osaka, Japan. In 2009 he beat Marco Antonio Avendano for the interim-WBA 154-pound title. He traveled to Mexico in October of 2010 and lost a close and some felt controversial decision over Rigoberto Alvarez.

I will never forget him twatting Kirkland lol. That was golden.

That card was one of the best I've ever seen; had Kirkland vs Ishida, Katsidis vs Guerrero and Morales vs Maidana, all 3 were cracking fights.

Man I googled Nobuhiro Ishida Heavyweight to see what he looked like - he's packing muscle.

The fight against Kirkland was a highlight, a true Japanese warrior who fought with honour and pride and of course, fought anyone.

He sparked Kirkland just after the earthquake and tsunami, I was living in Japan at the time and he gave a lot of hope and joy to the Japanese people. Farewell to great champion!
