Sounds like he's unmotivated after getting married and a widening rift between his father/ promoter.
Still good fights around if he chooses to continue, I'd love to see him in the mix at 115.

Disappointed as Higa had targeted Ioka for a unification bout.
Sounds like Ioka is ending his brief retirement and looking to return in September on the Superfly 3 card at 115.Quote:

Superfly 3 is a solid card but not as outstanding as they have previously been, I my glad they have invested in the smaller guys tho.
The best fight on paper is Arroyo vs Ioka.
3rd super fly installment definitely a bit wanting. Shame Wangek opted for hometown show as Estrada rematch would have been top notch. Ioka has been on the shelf a long time and when the burn for the ring turns it can be hard to rediscover it money aside. Then again Arroyo sat out near two years to come back and pull off 'upset' over Cuadras.
looks like this will go head to head with Garcia v Porter and David Rodriquez v TBA.
I really looking forward to the Ioka fight. He was always a quality fighter and had an excellent record and pedigree.
Apparently he had been training for a while. He's a great addition to the division.
Arroyo showed he's no joke. I always thought Mcwilliams was better than his brother. He gave a good account of himself against both Gonzalez and Ruenroeng.
If this card is leading to bigger fights and continued coverage of the smaller guys then I'm happy.
Totally agree. Think we remember a time when jr fly wasn't even ranked by some boxing rags. Networks basically shunned them until Lopez and Carbajal helped blow them up. Ioka is quality addition and love to see top talent from Japan come Stateside. Just weird like that. Honestly for hbo it's recently some of their better airtime.Quote:

Arroyo had his moments in the 10th, but still getting outworked.

At least right guy won, was a bit worried the way Arroyo was acting like he won the rounds
No bet for me, the odds were tight
Nietes vs Palicte coming up.
I heard some big money came in late for Arroyo.Quote:

1-0 Palicte.
Palicate has some venom in that right hand, good stuff from the young gun
That right is working for Palicte, I think he hurt Nietes in that round.
2-0 Palicte.
Excellent boxing by Nietes in the 3rd, using the jab effectively, as well as the left hook.
2-1 Palicte.
I hope this fight is more competitive than the Ugas fight that just finished. :)
Lederman gave Neites first two, I have the youngun 3-0
It already is, sorry for your boy Arroyo mate, but Ioka is back in a big way.Quote:

Can I delete my previous comment about Nietes and P4P ;D
3-1 Palicte.
Nietes was kept pretty quiet in that 4th round.
Commentators are idiots.
