Hasegawa-Montiel set
By Joe Koizumi
Teiken Promotions has acknowledged the contract of Fernando Montiel (40-2-2, 30 KOs) duly signed by himself and his exclusive promoter Fernando Beltran on Tuesday. WBO bantam champ Montiel is scheduled to square off against WBC titlist Hozumi Hasegawa (28-2, 12 KOs) here in Tokyo, Japan, on April 30. It will be a very sensational confrontation of the world champions which our fight fans anticipate with great enthusiasm.
Man I hope this is true, this would be one of the superfights of the year if they weren't at bantam. So far the only acknowledgements have come from Teiken, haven't heard anything from Montiel's people confirming it yet. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

That has to be the best weekend of boxing there is this year. I wish it was April 29th already :)
This is excellent news and many hardcore boxing fans are salivating at this potential match up.
It's going to be another great year for boxing.
Very glad to see some of the best meeting the best.Had my hopes on Montiel smacking Morel around but this will be much better fight...and much more dangerous.I think Montiel pulls it out.
Both fighters are favorites. Undecided on who to go with yet
Hasegawa takes this one by KO. Montiel is terrible against lefties.
I'll sig bet anyone.
Z Gorres was a lefty. As is the fighter who ruined him. Luis Melendez. Montiel holds wins over bothQuote:

To be honest, I kinda accepted that it was not really worth giving a hoot about Hasegawa simply because I assumed he'd carry on fighting in Japan and that no-one of note would travel there... Props to Montiel for being willing to travel. I take it Hasegawa is a huge name in Japan? I like his style; very composed, sturdy.
awesome awesome fight, and a close one at that, but given how magnificent Hasegawa has been as of late i'm gonna have to give him a slight edge going in, can't wait to see it
i think these two guys match up really well. both have speed and power and alot of ability. if it's a close fight, the judges are going to give it to hasegawa. everyone knows this! montiel must be confident he can go to japan and beat hasegawa soundly. i gotta go with montiel in this one even though i originally said hasegawa would probably win. montiel is a very underrated boxer/puncher and this future hall of famer probably has a few big fights left in his future.
What a shock, you're favouring the Mexican fighter, that's not like you at all :rolleyes:Quote:

Speed kills, and so Hasegawa becomes the first man to stop Montiel. TKO 10.
Montiel is taking all the risks going to Japan. He should at least be compensated for itQuote:

Oh well, I thought two sources was enough, obviously not.
Hope it happens.
The Hasegawa fans will finally get to see him in an acid test :cool:
I'd never actually seen either of these guys fight. Made some downloads, watched some fights, and I believe this is going to be a very very good figyht indeed. Got me excited....
Just hope it doesn't turn out to be another Guzman acid test..........Quote:

good fight, hope it will be eventually done
His win against Gorrez was BS. Montiel's win against Melendez wasn't walk in the park for him either.Quote:
