[ Hasegawa vs. Valdez & Larios vs. Aoh ]

[CutMeMick]

Exact Mick.Linares mashed him up.I really like Larios,honest style and leaves it all in the ring but even his return fights have been bumpy from what Ive seen.What Irony,Linares sidelined on injury and effectivly stripped with Larios being placed as Champion ??

Oh! the irony...
I've put a question mark over Linares.
I just don't know how all of this will play out.
It's going to be a full year of inactivity for him.

Hasegawa should box his way cleverly to a wide decision.

I'd like to see Hasegawa in with Moreno. Hell I'd like to see any of the top guys at 118 fighting! Agbeko out with maleria, Mabuza & Penalosa inactive, Mares & Roberto Vasquez out with an injury.

I think Aoh can do the same, but I agree with you all that Larios shouldn't be fighting!

I will throw this out now, anyone have a stream for this one?

Larios risks serious injury here--maybe even worse.

[CutMeMick]

Don't know if it's the shaven face but Larios looks rejuvinated to me.

Don't know if it's the shaven face but Larios looks rejuvinated to me.

I don't know he looks dehydrated to me, Aoh looks just right for a weigh-in IMO, that's why I picked him (that and him being at home).

[Fenster]

Surely Larios can't be in that bad a way considering he's won three since Linares

On paper he wins this fight easy. He has an unbeaten record in Japan too (bear in mind ive never seen Aoh fight)
