OK. Given the lack of decent fights out of the US or Europe this weekend, we were going to leave doing a Pick 'em this week, but then it was came to my attention that there is in fact two world title fights in Japan on Sunday.
Sunday 15, April 2018
Arena, Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan
promoter Teiken Promotions - Akihiko Honda
World Boxing Council World Flyweight Title
Daigo Higa 15 0 0 vs Cristofer Rosales 26 3 0
World Boxing Association World Middleweight Title
Ryota Murata 13 1 0 vs Emanuele Felice Blandamura 27 2 0
The Murata fight ain't really an issue, cos it's a secondary title and Blandamura ain't really anyone's idea of a quality opponent, however the Flyweight match-up is for the WBC title and matches the recognised #2 in the division with a top 10 opponent. My thinking is that if this fight had been in a different division and a different time zone we would have had no hesitation in including it as a pick 'em.... It may not be to everyone's taste, but if we really are boxing fans, perhaps we should give it a go?
