Seems like an amateur move to be flying out that late. As you say, hopefully it doesn't affect him too much.http://www.asianboxing.info/asian-news/sho-kimura-departs-for-china-ahead-of-bout-with-canizales
Kimura just making the 9-hour flight to Fuzhou today & he's still 2 KG overweight. Canizales has already been acclimating there for a week. Hope for Kimura's sake his team haven't dropped the ball here. On Sunday he'll find out whether dropping down in weight at age 30 is a capital idea. Canizales can really crack. Should Kimura manage the weight just right we may have the FOTY.
Man, quite the run for Can Xu so far. He's definitely a contender at this point. I wonder if he'll fight Oscar Valdez.I didn't manage to watch, but Canizales won a near shutout on the cards over Kimura. 119-109 x2, 118-110. Best win of his career by far.
Also, China's best current boxer, Can Xu, stopped Shun Kubo in the sixth round.
That would be a mental fight.Man, quite the run for Can Xu so far. He's definitely a contender at this point. I wonder if he'll fight Oscar Valdez.
Kazuto Ioka just stopped Aston Palicte in Round 10 after schooling the Filipino KO artist in a masterful performance.
As you know, he already retired once. He had mooted the possibility of re-retiring. Hopefully the prospect of earning some decent ¥¥¥ in a unification bout will keep him in the game at least for a bit.
A Japanese boxing legend! Now let's see him in against Chocolatito, Estrada, Srisaket, Ancajas![]()
If he is to bow out again soon (and for good this time), let's hope he ends on a legacy fight against Chocolatito in Japan.As you know, he already retired once. He had mooted the possibility of re-retiring. Hopefully the prospect of earning some decent ¥¥¥ in a unification bout will keep him in the game at least for a bit.
