December 18th 2016-Art Center, Kobe, Hyogo, Japan Takumi Sakae (14-1-1, 9) Vs Ryoki Hirai (7-4-1, 3) This past weekend fight fans saw the world ranked Takumi Sakae [栄 拓海] battle against the unheralded Ryoki Hirai [平井 亮輝]. November 11th 2012-Kokura Kita Gym, Kitakyushu, Fukuoka, Japan Takumi Sakae (3-0, 1) Vs Hideaki Yamaji (1-3, 1) Today Takumi Sakae is a world ranked Minimumweight and a man who is seemingly being pushed as a genuinely promising future. Here, we get to see one of his early bouts as Sakae, then aged 19, battles the much older Hideaki Yamaji. In the recent WBA world rankings we've spotted the name of Japanese 21 year old Minimumweight Takumi Sakae. It's been hard to understand why the WBA have got Sakae in the world rankings considering the people he has beaten but we've got to admit we do like what we have seen of him, notably his 2013 All Japan Rookie of the Year win over Yoshinori Wakahara. The fight didn't convince us that Sakae was going to be a future wold champion but from what we saw we do have the opinion that he's going to be be fun to follow however far he goes. We hope you enjoy this one. (Video courtesy of gentidori) |
