The 'Golden Age' of Japanese bantamweights
🕑 Added 2024-07-21 10:14:05 +0000 UTCTenshin! Takei! Nakatani! Nishida! And...umm..Takuma Inoue?
Okay, well maybe not that last one but Japanese boxers are dominating one of boxing's flagship divisions right now. I look ahead to see who might come out on top, and why divisional dominance at 118lbs might point to the greatest challenge of Naoya Inoue's life up at 122lbs.

Glad you enjoyed it mate! And honestly, had Jake Paul-Mike Perry been more interesting I was genuinely intending to tack it onto the end of the episode. In the end it wasn't worth my time or yours lol

Anything to avoid covering the GOAT, Jake Paulππ lol jk, I just read your article on the fight site about fighting Harada, and it got me really interested in learning in Japanese boxing but I was having a hard time finding good sources. This came at a perfect time for me, I canβt wait to listen to it!

Pleasantly surprised by Tenshin. Assumed his speed would carry him past a couple fights but heβs showing some real skill. Like you say though, need to see him now across 12 rounds. Tenshin x Takuma sounds dope as well
