Just wondering what is happening with this guy's career? 2014 was a big year for year for him - three world title fights, performances that catapulted him into contention for the P4P top ten - and yet we're 3/4 of the way through 2015 with him having not fought at all and with apparently nothing on the horizon. Anyone here know why?

He had a huge injury, They are planning to make a fight in December. Thats what I heard.

December 29th vs Parenas. Not been announced yet but the rumours are VERY strong. He damaged his right hand

Rumour that Yaegashi vs Mendoza and Matsumoto vs Hernandez Will be on the same card with Takuma Inoue as well

They love a bumper bill Inbetween Xmas and new year in Japan.
The New Year's Eve one last year was a cracker. I was hoping they'd of used that date again.

Would save me a fortune in overpriced drinks and taxis

Yaegashi un-retired then? hmm.

New Years Eve is expected to have 3 other shows, one from Watanabe (Uchiyama, Taguchi, possibly Kono) and one from Ioka (Ioka, Miyazaki?, Sho Ishida) and a Hatanaka one (rumoured to be Tanaka vs Takayama)

Don't think he actually did retire just...considered his future, he beat some Indonesian nobody a few weeks ago

Absolutely great idea. These shows at this time.
Watching a fight in Japan at this time of year is firmly in my bucket list top 10.
Preferably the Uchiyama bill as he's someone who keeps growing on me.
I try and stay away from P4P list debates now I get a bit trigger happy throwing the great Super-Feather in there.

From what I have seen of him he looks the part, though I have to question if Narveaz was in Japan for his pension he looked well out of his depth for a long reigning champion. Never the less the way Inoue beat him was very impressive.
