Unfortunately, there are still some land locked services such as "lemino", "abeema" and another I can't remember the name of that only stream to Japanese users.

3 new bits of news I just read about...

-Newly crowned 108 WBO champion Iwata challenged also newly crowned IBF champion Yabuki... but...

-Yabuki stated that he plans to move up to Flyweight and is eyeing one of the champions, especially Anthony Olascuga (WBO) UNLESS he is paid "10x more" than what he made for facing the South African champion.

And finally... unless I'm mistaken by the translation...

Masamichi Yabuki and Masanori Rikiishi are BROTHERS who want to be reigning champions at the same time. Rikiishi is taking a stay busy fight later today (On lemino, I believe)

U-Next I think are the other one you're thinking of

Rikiishi and Yabuki are indeed brothers

Leave it to Japan to be extra fair in judging. I thought four weight champion Tanaka won but split went to Cafu. Incredible high level fight. Cali based Nakatani remains one of the best most exciting fighters in the world. Should be a lot more talk about him. He is ready for the biggest fight in Japanese history against Monster Inoue. Watch cards if you can.

They are indeed good cards, but batam weights and feather weights are exactly my cup of tea. Pass the sushi and sake please.
