New Years Eve card from the Shimazu Arena, Kyoto, Japan with the IBF BW Title on the line...

Omori any good?

The Japanese usually really go for it, and have been in many exciting title challenges and elim type fights of recent. At home, and away.

Noticed Omori got banged out in a couple of rounds by WBO champion Tapales ( his last fight v singyu is one of the best fights I've seen this year BTW)

The bookies have is very close mainly due to Haskins travelling. If it's close like the Hall fight Haskins will lose his title no question.

He seemed a bit flat against Hall ( maybe the Hall pressure ) . Hope it was a one off tho' cos it's a tough enough ask on away soil as it is .

Tapales Vs Singyu was bloody brilliant as you said, the loss for Omori was...an eye opener as I'd been a big Omori cheerleader prior to it but 4 knockdowns against Omori showed his big flaws...in saying that he's a bit of a banger himself and has tightened up since the loss, less crude and less open now than he was.

Can't wait to see if Uchiyama can avenge the shock loss to Jezreel Corrales which removed him from the p4p rankings and the world super featherweight crown.

I was just kiddin' mate. No way our lass lets me go to that one.

Woz held a press conference to announce the cancellation, they seemed to say they were in slapdash talks with Tapales for a rematch or, if that fails to materialise, they have an agreement with Haskins to fight next Spring!
