Maybe 1... he saved this garbage card with his spirit

[BROZO]

Taka hanging tough, but not won a round imo

I feel the same. he is all heart but I cant find a round to give him.

[margaret thatcher]

taka

[ironbeard]

68-65 Soto, but that was a close round.

[margaret thatcher]

i gave him the 5th (?) landed a lot of body shots that had soto crouching over and not throwing for a prolonged period

[margaret thatcher]

ya chris mannix knows what's up, taka took that 5th baby

[KiwiRider]

Taka hanging tough, but not won a round imo

I feel the same. he is all heart but I cant find a round to give him.

It's like his swansong fight.
We forget what a battler he has been for as long as Chocolito

[BROZO]

holy manure. Soto almost lifted him off his boots and TAkie gotright back in there.

[lazboy]

R8 goes to tak

[BROZO]

Enjoy this everybody. Do not expect this type of Action in the Main Event

[BROZO]

R8 goes to tak

If Pressed I would give him the 3rd and 5th.

[ironbeard]

77-75 Soto. Taka!

[skanksta]

5-3 Soto
Taka won 3,5 and 8 on being lovable and heroic as much as anything.

[BROZO]

Arreola just went the Distance with the Ruiz at 42 yo. Maybe old guys are coming back in.

[KiwiRider]

5-3 Soto
Taka won 3,5 and 8 on being lovable and heroic as much as anything.

Damn right.
How dare we forget what a tough bastard this guy is.

Love seeing some tiny guys enjoying the limelight, somehow managing a war and a fun exhibition at the same time. This is where I wish boxing had a ufc style fight if the night bonus, cause these guys are the definition of entertaining. Until what the fornicate was that stoppage,

[BROZO]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. way to ruin the only think keeping us awake

[lazboy]

Poor stoppage. He wasn’t wobbled. Appreciate it was a terrible rd for him but he was still in the fight.

[tiny_acres]

Worst stoppage I've seen in years

[JxhDel.]

Soto and bad stoppages, a love story...

[Jeff_lacy_ko]

Boxing gonna boxing

[BROZO]

Soto could have been gassed and punched himself out. you never know, it was entertaining and a horrible stoppage, he was punching back.

[Jeff_lacy_ko]

Only this sport would let laurence cole ref

[ironbeard]

Taka literally saving the card...and the boxing establishment will have nothing of it, and the ref pulls the plug. He was losing that round and the fight but he was also schooling Soto.

Unforgivable.

[chucktaylor]

What a shit stoppage from Cole. Takayama was still fighting back, being competitive, and not terribly wobbled. He probably would have made it the distance. His recuperative powers are awesome. Now he is embarrassing Cole in front of everyone showing how fresh he still is.
