Anybody care about Jr Flyweights?

I do mate!... some great fighters at this weight... this would have been a good match but having seen a fair bit of both men I think Yoko would have outpointed Carbajal.... Micheal was good and exciting to watch but he was a little robotic and could be outboxed... Gushiken on the other hand was a great technician with good power, and was just a level above Carbajal... they would have had a good fight but Yokos skill would be the deciding factor imo

Agreed. I grew up watching Gushiken reruns in Baltimore,MD of all places. Always was a fan. He should be remembered more fondly.

I grew up watching Yoko Gushiken on ITVs "World of Sport" in the early 80s, they used to rave about him on there
