Comments Thread For: Ioka: Tanaka's Looking To Take My Crown, Don't Have Much Feeling About Him

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

For all that he's accomplished in his career, it's a fair argument to claim that Kazuto Ioka's place in history is well secured. Taking out the potential heir to the throne, however, is motivation enough to further enhance his legacy. Ioka (25-2, 14KOs) attempts the second defense of his junior bantamweight title versus countryman and unbeaten former three-division titlist Kosei Tanaka (15-0, 9KOs). Their long-anticipated clash takes place December 31 at Ota-City General Gymnasium in Tokyo, precisely where both left off in separate bouts exactly one year prior.

Every now and then a really good fight like this makes you wonder why some network couldn't pick it up. Not even sure if it is being streamed somewhere.

I don’t think the last few 12/31 cards were picked up TBH. No wonder most Americans say “he’s a jap bum who hasn’t fought anyone” whenever one of these guys becomes somewhat mainstream

Damn you guys are lucky. So there should be an English stream? Can’t understand Japanese but the commentators still amp me up haha

All the boxing purists will watch this historical battle!

Why couldn’t ESPN pick this one up? It was a good move by Kyoguchi to sign with Eddie Hearn and to be managed by Reynoso. We’ll get see him on DAZN now.

I love how whenever this fight is mentioned, it's always the same five or six of us in the threads
