Roman in control. Yaegashi not being evasive and using his superior mobility... SHould be all Roman... Roman tagging Yaegashi with rights so far and cornered Yaegashi a few times in the first two rounds already...
Yegashi down while being stalked in round 3 with 22 seconds left
Both fighting now on the inside with ROman throwing 7 punches combos... unless Yaegashi times a short right miraculously (he is not bad to bait and hit) BUT DOUBT IT
In round 8 Roman stopped Stalking and went hunting... totally destroyed Yaegashi's face and part of his mental... Connected several power shots in combo. Yaegashi did his trademark warrior move of hitting both of his gloves together meaning "lets get it on"
Yep, a great show of skill from Gonzalez and a great show of heart from Yaegashi.
Gonzalez is so relaxed and seems to effortlessly throw 4-5 punch combinations with accurate shots mixed to the head and body; I'm not sure if there is currently a better combination puncher.
Not THAT impressed by Inoue's performance. He fought in sequences and was preoccupied by his stamina... started to become sloppy at the end... some of the moves he did, he won't be able to do at the top... Including letting his opponent land flush shots without moving.
Murata looked very vulnerable and VERY preoccupied by his stamina. He had his opponent hurt in the 9th and stopped flurrying because he was OUT of juice... His front leg was twitching under his weight because it had no strenght left.
Both excellent prospect and in imporessive fights... But they need to work more before stepping up

Inoue apparently cut 10Kg for the fight so I imagine that had a lot to do with his less than stellar showing.
