December 28th 2015-Bangkok, Thailand Daikishi Shimizu (2-3) Vs Robert Sithgorson (0-4) Some bouts intrigue us for all the wrong reasons. One such bout saw Daikishi Shimizu battle against Robert Sithgorson. On paper there was little to be excited by, but when you consider that both men debuted more than a decade ago and neither had been particularly active there was something morbidly interesting about the bout. Sadly given their ages and what we know of both men this was never going to be a thriller, but it did still intrigue us.
