Anyone seen the pictures of Ishida?

A couple of new pictures on Asian boxing-

New pictures of Nobuhiro Ishida, the fully blown Heavyweight! - Asian Boxing

Very impressive that he's managing to look so good for a guy who has put on 40lbs recently O_O

[La Cucaracha]

Nice one. I still can't believe he is jumping up to heavy

[Vendettos]

Maybe he can be more effective with power at HW.

As he has shown ow and again (James Kirkland fight mainly) he does possess some decent power, more than his record suggests.

Good luck to him.

[Hulk]

Strange. Maybe he can work his way toward a super fight with Tarver or Toney lol

That's a round robin made in hell.

You can put on all the muscle you want, but a MW isn't busting a grape at HW.

[Silkeyjoe]

Hearn probably has him lined up to face Joshua

My thoughts exactly, but he might be that 1 in a million. Will be an interesting experiment to watch, I hope.

Be interesting to see how much his speed translates. He'll have to keep it realistic though or he'll quickly hit the dime mark on losses.

Agreed.

His power might surprise us at HW, but likely he will need to jab for 10 rounds ftw.

It is weird especially cuz he was a such a soft punching MW.

CW Guillermo Jones started his career at WW... Id say that is more weird..

[Beanflicker]

Yeah he wasn't a big puncher at MW, he's not suddenly going to be Earnie Shavers at HW.

He'll be more of a "Chris Byrd"... if he's lucky.

The JBC forced him to weight above the Heavyweight limit, at the moment he's about 202lbs. I don't even think he's thinking about a slug fest for Fujimoto in all fairness

[FinitoElDinamita]

I want to see him fight Rio Typhoon Hadaka..
