How do Japanese fighters reach that elite American level so quickly compared to other countries, I don't understand. What do you think ElRetardo?

Because there really are not alot of superstar boxers from the land of the Rising Sun. But when there is a possibility for 1 he becomes a rockstar overnight. Go Murata

That is pretty impressive for a debut fight I look forward to seeing it

Id say this guy will be top class if this is his debut. He was a class amateur. Look how safe they were with that Chinese golden boy in his first fight. They must have huge faith in this guy.

I think HE has faith in himself whilst Shiming is likely being told "do this, we will make you money", Murata is going "I want challenges"
