Pumped for this fight

Melindo won his IBF title from Akira Yaegashi. Who if I recall correctly was in the last 108 pound unification bout with Kazuto Ioka in 2012. His only loses are to Estrada and an technical decision in 6 to Javier Mendoza after the Dr stopped the fight due to a cut on Mendoza. Was ruled from a accidental head clash but looked to be from a punch. Has fought and beat some very good fighters. His last fight was a very close decision over former 105 titlist Hekkie Budler.

Kyoguchi just keeps impressing me.

That was a very good fight. Kyoguchi is relentless and throws technically very vicious shots. Good finish.

Kyoguchi has recently vacated his IBF minimumweight title and makes his 108 debut in Sep-25 against talented unbeaten Indonesian Monabesa (18-0-2, 8 kos).

Kyoguchi has expressed interest in the Flyweight division, so his stay at 108 may be short lived. A tantalising fight with Kosei at 112 could be on the cards in a year or so.

We just had Hiroto Kyoguchi vs Ken Shiro in 2 rounds of sparring/ exhibition. Hopefully this leads to a future clash. Shiro defeated my boy 3 fights to 1 in the amateurs I think.

Quality sparring there, I guess when it is an exhibition you can afford to take chances and look good.
