They impress us so much more than the ones who merely try to make prospects aware of issues they may have. That's why we're big fans of Japanese based Filipino Mark John Yap who always comes to win. He showed that willing spirit recent when he fought the unbeaten Tatsuya Ikemizu, a touted and talented prospect.
