Milan Melindo vs. Ryoichi Taguchi

[SceneBoxer]

I'm rooting for Melindo. What a year for him if he wins this unification fight against Taguchi.
May - KOed the champ in 1 round to get the belt;
Sept - very tough SD win on his 1st defense;
Dec - unified champ

taguchi TKO or TD (due to cuts)

Theres a good chance of that happening, I was surprised Milan took this fight after getting busted up by Hekkie.

Round six Milan comes out taking comand of the center of the ring, good exchange. Milan shoe shining landing uppers up the middle working the body. Taquchi comes back taking the center coming back strong in the second phase of the round, close. Milan did a little more from the beginning for me. Even so far.
