Describe the Japanese Boxing Style

[North Star]

In Japan, do they really do those rookie pro tournaments and champion carnivals as described in Hajime no Ippo? If that is the truth, I could see how and why boxing is thriving there. It would be great to see tournaments like that here in the states, and maybe we would get off the 1 loss = bum mentality that is so prevalent here.

Zaroku get yo a-sss in there and say something.

Trainers in Japan encourages their fighters to go southpaw.

Many japanese boxers are converted southpaws.

Volume punchers with super hero like courage

[Madison Boxing]

You prove over and over again that you dont know anything about boxing, youre pathetic man

Ask average man on the street to name an all time great japanese boxer in history and they would be struggling. Struggling to name any half decent ones who fight other than at midgetweight.

What year do you live in?
Its 2016 and he asked about the Japanese boxing style, not how it was 20 years ago, and Japan has never been a nation associated with boxing until recently
Boxing in Japan are on the rise and are currently one of the top boxing nations atm and they have alot of great talents, and as i said Japanese fighters are usually very well schooled and disciplined
And also Japan has one of the shortest (height) people on the planet in % (average is 5'7)
So it is not surprising that they have more fighters in the lower weight divisions.

Also winning the national championships in Japan is like 10x harder then in the US, so the competition to the top is alot higher

oh come on man, 'one of the top boxing nations' are you having a laugh or something. Having a few fighters in midgetweights which noone cares about doesnt mean its a great boxing nation. get welterweights who are 5ft 7, its not that small, why are their no japanese fighters around them weightclasses. Can call me ignorant or whatever, im not having it that japan is some boxing powerhouse

Average man on the streets couldnt even name a boxer from their own country.

Real boxing heads can name plenty of great japanese fighters..

The ones who cant do not know **** about boxing.

i cant name many, not interested in watching people who weigh the same as i did when i was 12 fighting each other. Cant see many japanese fighters on the P4P lists

From what I've seen, Japanese boxers seem to eat more punches than Mexican boxers. They fight like Kamikaze pilots with no worry about their own health or safety, only the intent of hurting their opponents.
