WBO Asia Pacific Title on the line.

Looks to be a well-contested bout.

Kato stoppage, late, in a FOTY contender.

Interesting prediction!

What makes you think Kato has the edge?

Natural size mainly and Yordan's struggles with the likes of Brizuela and questionable stamina...Kato's loss to Sismundo looks bad on paper but the reality is that Sismundo is damned good

Did you see Sismundo's most recent bout?

I heard the decision was questionable...

Really depends on how Yordan fights. If he boxes from distance which he can, he could win this one relatively easy... Kato brings that counter punch timing with the head down... an efficient weapon vs fighters who like to flurry going forward and over commit like Yordan often does.



Very good style matchup

Sismundo got robbed against Felix, likewise Doronio vs Saguilan

actors boxing with amateur gear is always a good receipe for disaster

Any thoughts? I have Yordan ahead 4-2, but it's anybody's fight.

6-2 Yordan, but looks like he's getting tired

Fight stopped due Yordan cut over left eye from Kato head butt -- waiting for scores

Anti-climactic ending, to say the least.
