Guts Ishimatsu vs Ken Buchanan

[elmersalsa]

I saw this fight and it was very entertaining. Ken Buchanan, one of my favorite fighters, was not the same guy that won the title 5 years earlier, but was a great win for the Japanese champion Suzuki. Ken could really take a punch. He was really never knocked out. I think the Jim Watt fight for the British Ligthweight Title took a toll on him

Anybody have seen this fight?

Yes it was a really good fight, Buchanan wasn't at his best but in spurts boxed beautifully and outclassed Ishimatsu, I think I had Ishimatsu winning it on the big finish he had at the end but Buchanan was right in it all the way through.
