An elongated Japanese southpaw featherweight, 5’11” ex-Olympian Satoshi Shimizu (11-1, 10 KOs) participated in a public workout on Monday at Ohashi Gym in Yokohama, Japan. Shimizu, former bronze medalist in 2012 Olympic Games in London, will have an ambitious crack at the WBO 126-pound belt against Robeisy Ramirez of Cuba at the Ariake Arena, Tokyo, on Tuesday next week.
Shimizu, 37, said, “I’m preparing some strategies to cope with such a crafty champ as Ramirez, Olympic gold medalist twice in 2012 and 2016. I wish to be victorious and win the world belt from him.”
Taller they are, the harder they fall and age is not on his side. Expect Ramirez to chop him down
Probably but they are in Japan and he does seem to have KO power.
