All is about Teraji vs Kyoguchi and Gonzalez vs Iwata, but Francisco Rodriguez vs Junto Nakatani is a hell of matchup. Rodriguez has been very competitive against world clas opposition like Nietes, Ioka, Moises Fuentes and Roman Gonzalez, a violent fight that was stopped prematurely to relief of Gonzalez team (fight took place in Managua.
Of course I would favor Nakatani, but I have the feeling of a good fight
Completely agree Burucho. Cannot wait to see thee fights and I also think Nakatani – Rodriguez has a chance to be fight of the night.
