Hard hitting Japanese Super Featherweights seem to be the order of the day right now with WBA champion Takashi Uchiyama, AKA "KO Dynamite", and WBC champion Takashi Miura being the most well known. Below those two is another major puncher, Masao Nakamura, AKA "The KO King". Nakamura began his career in 2006 and scored 12 successive KO's before coming undone in 61 seconds against Ronald Pontillas. Since that loss he bounced back with a subsequent 6 KO's including an opening round stoppage over Thai veteran Fahsai Sakkreerin who dropped 3 times in just 100 seconds. The bout, fought on 14th of October 2013, was expected to be a decent match up though Nakamura's power was simply too much for the Thai. As we write this Nakamura is preparing for a fight with the unbeaten Masayuki Ito, it's thought that if he can beat Ito he'll be fighting Uchiyama later this year in a potentially explosive WBA world title fight. As for Sakkreerin we think the Thai is likely to be heading towards retirement though at 32 he may well continue to fight on the Thai domestic scene. (Video courtesy of Minegish minami)
