Typo .. not 122 IBF .. 115lbs. Guess he’s moving up to 118lbs. Nakatani owns that weight class but maybe this young man has the stuff?
They were about to strip him anyway. He got an exemption for the first Ioka fight, he was not going to get another one for the rematch. Maybe takes a tiny bit of lustre from a potential Martinez – Bam unification for some, but I’d still love to see it.
I would love to see a Nakatani -Bam fight
Yeah. Want to see Nakatani do what Bam & Inoue have done next as well. Time for him to try to unify.
I wanted to see Martinez and Bam Rodriguez in a unification fight at 115. I guess he’s moving up to 118.
