Comments Thread For: Yamanaka Ends Debate, Stops Moreno In Seven To Retain Title

[bojangles1987]

That was a really good fight. Both guys hurt each other pretty bad. Moreno couldn't recover from that brutal 6th round KD.

First round was hilarious Moreno was dominating landing straight rights on Yamanaka then I hear Morenos corner tell him ' Dont back up ' and then Moreno moves in and get caught and put down!

That was crazy, Moreno was destroying him in that round and ends up losing it off one punch. Not that it ultimately mattered.

I am always missing Japan fights . I wanna see both of these, especially the Hasegawa fight.

Did anyone catch that Rd9 exchange between Hasegawi and Ruiz? Around the 1:15 mark I think it was? Holy crap.

Yo Cornflake and Dusty Harrison has a sticky! hahahahaha! this is so bad...the lineal title yall...boxingscene sucks.

I hav'nt seen this brought up. Should'nt this of established Yamanaka as the lineal and Ring champ as well?

You are 100% correct and my story has been amended. I forgot that BScene had Yamanaka and Moreno #1 and #2. The following graf has been added to reflect:

With the win, Yamanaka also gains recognition as the World (lineal) bantamweight champion, as he and Moreno were the top two ranked boxers in the division in the BoxingScene.com ratings. The feat establishes a lineage in the division for the first time since 1988, ending the longest active gap in the sport (28 years) between genuine world champs.

There was also a whole graph at the end of the pre-report card before the (wrong) pick. Still could be some debate but I don't think there is a serious case against Yamanaka as the true champ right now.

This was a really good fight. A lot of crisp punching, pin-point accuracy and some spectacular timing on display.

Now I'm watching Hasgawa/Ruiz...the ref took a ****ing point off for a head-clash?!? WTF?
