Kosei Tanaka (fighting a world title fight on May 30th) and Takuma Inoue (the younger brother of Naoya) fought something like 5 times as amateurs...maybe fair to say these are stars of tomorrow.
Toshiyuki Igarashi had Akira Yaegashi's number in the amateurs (think he went 4-0) with Yaegashi getting revenge in the pro ranks.
you really know your stuff.
Maybe he's making it all up, I doubt many of us would know

Bivol won, but does anyone know how the fight played out? Was it a KO or points, dominant victory or close affair?
