Hozumi Hasegawa

[JonnyFolds]

Anyone have any idea what happened to this guy? Hozumi Hasegawa went from fringe PTS decision to the KO artist? 5 KOs in a row!!! With 27 (11) - 2 - 0 that pretty damn impressive if you ask me.



I like that he's turned things around in his career, but anyone know who's training him? Opposition ranking? Possible match ups? Video footage?

Hasegawa is the man of his division right now, he probably won't be leaving Japan anytime soon though. I guess you haven't been following him lately he's been elite for a few years now.

He's improved his punching technique drastically, he sits down on his punches far more now & I think he's just become stronger with age as well. I see him Top 10 Pound for Pound now. I don't know if he will come to the States, because Japan's boxing scene is pretty good (as well as more logical than ours, they only recognize the WBC & WBA). Would like to see him fight Perez or Agbeko, or even move up & take on some of the Super-Bantamweights.

he's always had power. check out his rematch with Veeraphol (i've never seen the first one). a very good showing from Hasegawa.

Fernando Montiel Vs Hozumi Hasegawa would be an awesome fight

[spade]

The reason why he isn't getting enough recognition is the hesitance of his team to fight outside Japan. Though the Japanese boxing scene is the best in Asia, many boxers from Thailand, Indonesia or Philippines travelled and fight here.

He is still untested imo, Montiel, Donaire, Abner Marez, Chrisitian Mijarez, Eric Morel will be a great prospect if Hasegawa won't be hiding in his mother's kimono.
