takei one of the bestt p4p kickboxers in the world before boxing, he's a bad man. very interested in that fight. moloney has a lot more experience deep in fights, but takei very explosive, esp to the body

Just what I wanted to here, I know it's not uncommon for Japanese fighters to fight for titles at lower weights but bantamweight is pretty high

kaibutsu Time

[handsofstone]

Top Rank are obsessed about making Nico Ali Walsh a superstar, got him on Co comms now with Poncher, he's actually pretty decent in all fairness

[samwbr]

What time is Inoue expected in the ring?

[MightyWarrior]

Midday

[MightyWarrior]

Poncher is so deliriously bad I’ve switched to Spanish commentary

[MightyWarrior]

Kuwahara is one game SOB

I've got it 117-111 Akui, good fight, had it all even at the midway mark, Kuwahara done a good job of sticking and moving, used the ring well and would burst out combos before moving away from danger, Akui was on the front foot, cut the ring off expertly, dug the left hook to the body, slowed Kuwahara down and second half it got tougher and tougher for him to keep Akui off, he dominated second half, Kuwahara showed a lot a guts to hang in there, he was tired and hurt down the stretch, Akui put in a really good showing to do thr double over Kuwahara

[handsofstone]

Seigo Yuri Akui wins his rematch with Taku Kuwahara by UD to retain his WBA Flyweight title, 117-111 twice and 118-110

[Counter-puncher]

Yeah I checked into that one at round 5 and I agree it looked even, but by 7 the writing seemed to be on the wall for Kuwahara, not enough pop to keep Akui off him, Akui’s gas tank held up to the pace better and he applied the pressure well.

Decent fight that

Poncher is so deliriously bad I’ve switched to Spanish commentary

Well she's alot better than the female football commentators

[MightyWarrior]

F*cking hell, this idiot ishida has clearly not read the script, terrible manners from a guest

10-8 round to Inoue
