Well good news!

Seems like there will indeed be a stream courtesy of AsianBoxing.info who appear to have secured something with CBC to show the fight!

Bollocks, I'll be in bed, is it like an official YouTube stream? Hope they let it be replayed, I think there is a market for jap boxing for someone to buy the rights to. I emailed dazn to suggest it to them :S..... Maybe someone already has the rights and I don't know... Anyway none official streams are cool but I like to lend my support to the organizers :S

Unfortunately Japanese/Asain boxing presents a big timezone clash for the west. The Inoue Japanese World Series card on Danz/Sky will do poor numbers, it's the morning in the UK (10-11am) and the middle of the night across the pond.

The betting is fairly tight.

Tanaka - 4/6
Kimura - 5/4

It's an official stream agreed between Asianboxing (who basically nagged) and CBC (the broadcaster). It's run through the CBC youtube with Asianboxing having a license to host it (apparently contracts and shizz had to be signed)

No one has the rights because there's about 5 different channels showing the sport in Japan. It's not like the UFC

You have CBC (who are showing this, and are affiliated with TBS), TBS (who have Watanabe and Ioka signed up) NTV (who have links to Teiken, but haven't shown much this year), G+ (who are an NTV affiliate), Fuji (who do Inoue, Murata, Ken Shiro), then you have things like Boxingraise (subscription service from Dangan/reason), a-sign (which put their fights on youtube on delay)

Tanaka beat a very tough, very determined champion tonight. Great fight.
