On Saturday were put to sleep by Guillermo Rigondeaux's "fight" with Drian Francisco. Around 9 hours later fans in Osaka saw Francisco's previous conqueror, Jason Canoy, face off against debutant Hinata Maruta.
Canoy took out Francisco in a round earlier this year, but couldn't handle the size, speed or ability or Maruta who took a clear decision over the Filipino puncher.
Aged 18 Maruta has been compared.by Naoya Inoue, his debut opponent however had more in common with the man who faced Vasyl.Lomachenko and maybe, just maybe, we are about to get another brilliant Japanese fighter fast tracked to the top.
