Not many others here will be but that does not matter, this is a quality fight.

Hiroto Kyoguchi 8-0 6KOs (IBF Minimumweight Champion) vs Carlos Buitrago 30-2-1 17KOs on Dec-31.

Kyoguchi won the title in his 8th bout, Buitrago's only 2 loses have come to the unbeaten Knockout CP Freshmart (Niyomtrong). Both by decision in Thailand. The 1st was very close and could have gone either way.

Kyoguchi took the title from Jose Argumedo 20-3-1 12KOs coming in with a unanimous decision, Argumedo had won the title from minimumweight warrior Katsunari Takayama.


The card also features a 108 pound unification (IBF/WBA) bout between Milan Melindo and Ryoichi Taguchi. It's great these guys are keen to make these fights. This unification came about after Kosei Tanaka had to withdraw from the Taguchi unification talks because of injuries in his last bout. Tanaka against the winner would be great.

I don't expect many replies but wanted to put something down about this card.
