For those wanting to know what he's about it's well worth watching some of his bouts that took place in Japan when he was fighting under various names including the brilliant "WARS Katsumata". One of those bouts from Japan saw him battling against Japan's very own Koji Itagaki. (Video courtesy of Hiroshi Katsumata) There are a lot of fun to watch Filipino's plying their trade in boxing. Some are superstars of the sport like Manny Pacquiao and Nonito Donaire whilst others are just trying to forge their name to help them get a big pay day. One of the fighters hunting a big payday is the amazingly fun to watch Warlito Parrenas, otherwise known as WARS Katsumata. What makes Parrenas so much fun to watch is the fact you know the fight isn't going the distance and he will either stop his opponent, or be stopped trying. This has seen him go almost 7 years without hearing the final bell, in fact his last bout to go the schedule was his 7th! One of the most impressive Parrenas wins came when he was fighting under the Katsumata banner in Japan and made light work of future world title challenger Atsushi Kakutani in a bout that was ridiculously fun to watch despite lasting less than a round. The bout lasted just 172 seconds but featured 4 knockdowns, yes one every 36 seconds! Just don't blink and don't expect anything too technical here because an in ring war isn't pretty, it's just beautiful violence! (For those who want to skip the build up the opening bell is at 4:43) (Video courtesy of Hiroshi Katsumata) |
