The Asian Fighters to watch in 2016 (Bonus part 2!)

1/26/2016

0 Comments

 
Over the last few weeks we've looked at 30 fighters who we tipped as “ones to watch in 2016”, unsurprisingly however we had to miss out on a lot of fighters. Here we are doing a bonus part trying to include an extra 20 fighters who missed out on our original 6 parts! With these 20 extra fighters it brings the total covered up to an amazing 50 fighters!

For those who missed them the previous parts are available below-
Part 1 is here 
Part 2 is here
Part 3 is here
​
Part 4 is here
Part 5 is here
Part 6 is here

And the first bonus part is here.
A well known Filipino to follow this year is Johnriel Casimero (21-3, 13) who will continue seeking another world title reign. The exciting Pinoy, a former IBF and WBO “interim” champion at 108lbs, had a 2015 to forget with his only bout being a loss to Amnat Ruenroeng, in a foulfest. Despite the disappointing 2015 he is still a world class talent and finds himself in a talent rich weight class, where bouts against the likes of Kazuto Ioka or Juan Francisco Estrada are certainly good looking match ups. Despite being in the talent rich Flyweight division he has been linked to the Super Flyweight division, something we're hoping he he has second thoughts about.

Another Filipino that we would advise making a mental note of for the next 12 months is recent WBO Minimumweight title challenger Vic Saludar (11-2, 9). Saludar ended 2015 losing to Kosei Tanaka however prior to suffering a 6th round TKO loss he had looked the boss of the bout and it seems almost certain that he's going to be a real threat through the 12 months. Bouts involving Saludar and any top 105lb fighter would be great and we're really hoping that that Tanaka won't his last notable one as he has the style and aggression to be a real fan favourite.
Saludar is far from the only Filipino puncher that we're excited to see more of in 2016. Another is Rey Loreto (21-13, 13). The “Hitman” had a really frustrating 2015 but in the last few years he has scored wins against Pornsawan Porpramook and Nkosinathi Joyi, twice, and is now viewed as a genuine contender in the 108lb weight class. Loreto may struggle to get many fights in 2016 but we would suggest trying to watch them all as he is a real danger man and has genuine power in every shot. Loreto has already fought this year, blowing away an opponent in Thailand earlier this month, but will be hunting bigger and better bouts through the coming months.

One final Filipino here is WBA “interim” Light Flyweight champion Randy Petalcorin (23-1-1, 18). The “Razor” is a wonderful fighter to watch with blurring hand speed, unerring accuracy and spiteful power. Sadly though his 2015 was essentially a a write off, with around 90 second action, the time it took him to destroy Ma Yi Ming in Beijing. Hopefully 2016 will see him in with the likes of Ryoichi Taguchi or Donnie Nietes or Akira Yaegashi. Possibly the most talented of the Filipino's mentioned in this bonus part, but also the most frustrating given his current position as the top WBA contender at 108lbs.
It's not often that we see Japanese fighters make a name for themselves in the West but Tomoki Kameda (31-2, 19) [亀田 和毅] has managed to do just that, originally making a name for himself in Mexico before expanding his profile in his homeland of Japan and the US. Sadly 2015 was an awful year for the Kameda brothers but Tomoki has got the chance to rebuild this coming year and the 24 year old appears to be eyeing up a charge at 122lbs. Win or lose it will be fun to see how he fares this coming year as he looks to become a world champion for a second time. Sadly for him however he does have serious questions to answer in 2016 and how answers them will tell us a lot about his characters.

Over the coming year there are a number of bouts that we are “expecting” to see. One of which is a WBA Super Flyweight bout with champion Kohei Kono defending his belt against Hong Kong's Rex Tso (18-0, 11) [曹星如]. Tso is one of those many fighters who makes for action bouts, with a wild, offensive, exciting style that has it's limitations but will always be fun to watch, and if he gets the Kono bout that has potential FOTY implications. If he doesn't get a Kono bout the odds are that Tso will still be in some thrillers, as he has been against Michael Enriquez and Mako Matsuyama in recent years. One to watch if you like excitement.
The Light Flyweight division may be the gem in 2016 and with that in mind it's a division where all the champions should be in competitive fights. One such fighter is WBA champion Ryoichi Taguchi (23-2-1, 10) [田口 良一]. The Watanabe gym fighter won his title at the end of 2014 and has beaten two weak opponents in his defenses so far, so hopefully 2016 will see him doing more and actually facing some of his top contemporariness, of which there are plenty of. If he does then he really could be in some great fights later this year.

Talking about Japanese Light Flyweights it's hard to ignore resurgent Ryo Miyazaki (24-1-3, 15) [宮崎 亮], who is on a 4 fight KO run since he was upset by Fahlan Sakkreerin Jr. The former WBA Minimumweight champion is now looking for big bouts at 108lbs and given the team behind him it it seems likely he will get a big bout, with contests against the likes of Akira Yaegashi being real possibilities. Given Miyazaki is always fun to watch, he should always be one to watch, even if he is relatively limited, and with the depth of the division this really could be the year to follow the Ioka gym warrior.
When we talk about exciting it's impossible to ignore destructive Thai Srisaket Sor Rungvisai (38-4-1, 35) [ศรีสะเกษ นครหลวงโปรโมชั่น]. The former WBC Super Flyweight champion is really the Super Flyweight version of Gennady Golovkin and he's a danger to anyone in the division with his combination punching, intense pressure, imposing physical strength and spiteful power. It's that power which has seen him destroy both Yota Sato and Jose Salgado and he is expecting to get another world title fight later this year, in a rematch with Carlos Cuadras.

Staying with Thailand we also need to make another former world champion, Suriyan Sor Rungvisai (46-6-1, 23) [สุริยัน ศ.รุ่งวิสัย]. The experienced 26 year old Thai has been around the block but proven himself as being a tough and talented fighter capable of giving anyone a hard time. Having been a professional since he was 17 it's fair to call Suriyan a veteran. He had a short lived reign as the WBC Super Flyweight champion in 2011-2012 and has since proven himself a very credible Bantamweight who is looking to get a second shot at a 118lb title later this year, if he can over-come Anselmo Moreno in April.

We hope you'll follow these men, as well as the 40 featured in the previous "To watch" articles.

The Asian Fighters to watch in 2016 (Bonus part 1!)

1/21/2016

Over the last few weeks we've looked at 30 fighters who we tipped as “ones to watch in 2016”, unsurprisingly however we had to miss out on a lot of fighters. Here we are doing a bonus part trying to include an extra 20 fighters who missed out on our original 6 parts! With these 20 extra fighters it brings the total covered up to an amazing 50 fighters!

For those who missed them the previous parts are available below-
Part 1 is here 
Part 2 is here
Part 3 is here
​
Part 4 is here
Part 5 is here
Part 6 is here
Firstly WBO Bantamweight champion Pungluang Sor Singyu (51-3, 35) [ผึ้งหลวง ส.สิงห์อยู่]. The experienced Thai is now a 2-time world champion and begins 2016 with a defense against Jetro Pabustan in February, before facing mandatory challenger Marlon Tapales later in the year. Aged 27 Pungluang is just starting to reach his prime, despite his 54 fight career, we suspect he'll be a man to watch this coming year, despite being best known for suffering a stoppage loss to Tomoki Kameda. If he gets past Pabustan he'll then be looking to face Marlon Tapales later in the year.

The biggest name fighter from Asia actually missed out on being included in our 30 fighters to watch, though of course he too is worth keeping an eye out to see. That is Filipino star Manny Pacquiao (57-6-2, 38). The “Pac man” is expected to finish his career this year and currently has a bout scheduled for April 9th, a rubber match with American Timothy Bradley. Sadly it's due to the fact that Pacquiao is 37 and set to retire that we didn't include him in the original 30, but he is always worth watching. If the third Bradley fight does end up being the final bout of Pacquiao's career then it really will be the final time to see him in the ring.
Another notable fighter who was missing from the original 30 was unbeaten 20 year world champion Kosei Tanaka (6-0, 3) [田中 恒成]. The WBO Minimumweight champion won, and defended, the title in 2015 but seems almost certain to vacate as he begins to target the Light Flyweight division. Sadly for Tanaka we were less than impressed by his final showing of 2015, a stoppage of Vic Saludar. We hope that that performance was partly due to struggles at the weight though there is the possibility that he may not be as good as we first thought.

Another Minimumweight worth making a note of is the wonderfully named Knockout CP Freshmart (11-0, 6) [น็อคเอาท์ ซีพีเฟรชมาร์ท], the WBA “interim” champion. The former Muay Thai stand out gained attention from his debut, due to his excellent ring name, and in 2014 scored his best win, defeating Carlos Buitrago via close decision. In 2015 we were a little disappointed by Knockout's inactivity, fighting just twice, however he did look excellent against Alexis Diaz and it does seem likely that he will chase a big fight in 2016, with Hekkie Budler's name being among those mentioned by his team. It does seem however that a rematch with Buitrago, in February, will come first.

Many fighters on this list are relatively unknown in the West, and certainly a vast majority haven't appeared on American TV. One of the few exceptions to that is the exciting Light Welterweight Keita Obara (15-1-1, 14) [小原 佳太] who left an impression on US audiences when he faced Walter Castillo this past November. Although Obara was robbed in that bout he left a solid impression and is likely to get a rematch with Castillo in late Spring. Also, given that he's at 140lbs, he will likely be in the conversation for Stateside bouts with other well known names and he also, of course, has a fun style.

We've looked at a number of world champions but of course not everyone holds a world title, despite the many jokes about there being too many titles. One man who doesn't have a title, though is always worth watching, is Japanese action man Katsunari Takayama (30-8-0-1, 12) [高山 勝成]. Takayama lost the IBF Minimumweight title at the very end of 2015 and although retirement is looming he will almost certainly fight at least once more, likely at 108lbs. Given that Takayama always provides action we suggest watching whatever is left of his career, as sadly so many fans have missed out on one of the sports most exciting fighters of the last decade.

Whilst many of the fighters on this list are from traditional boxing countries, such as Japan, Philippines and Thailand, there are a few from non-traditional boxing countries. One such fighter is Qiu Xiao Jun (19-2, 9) [裘晓君], a Chinese hopeful who is very highly ranked by the WBC at 122lbs, one of the divisions which has the potential to be an eye catching weight class next year. Jun is exciting, crude, powerful and always looks for the KO. His style certainly isn't “correct” but he has shown improvement through his career and may well be the most talented fighter currently active in China, and yet is one outside of Bob Arum's little foray into the country. Interestingly it's been confirmed that Jun will fight for the WBA "regular" title at 122lbs in February

We've never been ones to hide the fact that we like action fighters. We can appreciate the sweet science but we are huge fans of the old “Korean style”, where fighters fight. With that in mind we quickly fell in love with little Thai prospect Chanachai CP Freshmart (5-0, 2) [ชนะชัย ซีพีเฟรชมาร์ท] who gets in the ring and fights. His style is high octane, exciting and all action and whilst we don't think he'll make a mark on the world scene in 2016 we would certainly advise fans try try and watch him when they can as he is a lot of fun!
Staying with Thailand it's only fair to include over-looked Light Flyweight contender Paipharob Kokietgym (32-0, 25) [ไผ่ผารบ ก่อเกียรติยิม]. The Thai, who has been highly ranked over the last few years, appears to have been over-looked for a world title fight once again however his team will continue to pursue a title fight through 2016. His long unbeaten record does include numerous poor opponents, but he does have notable wins over Rey Megrino and Jesus Silvestre and has the ability to really question the top guys in the division. Sadly 32 year old has been wasting time waiting for a chance and it's fair to say that he's not getting any younger.

One young man who does seem likely to have a title fight in the near future is exciting Filipino Jerwin Anacajas (24-1-1, 16). The 24 year old Super Flyweight is a really exciting Southpaw who combines speed, power, ability and movement. The “Pretty Boy” has generally been over-looked by fans and powerful promoters but he's now expected to get an IBF title fight and could potentially break out as a Filipino star before the year is out. We get excited when we watch Ancajas and suspect others will too given his style.

The Asian Fighters to watch in 2016 (Part 6 of 6)

1/8/2016

Over the next 12 months we're expecting to see a lot of changes in the world of professional boxing. As a result we have put together a list of 30 Asian fighters to keep an eye out for 2016. These range from champions to novices but all are expected to make a mark on the sport over the next 12 months. Here is part 2 which looks at 5 young novices who have impressed in 2015 and look likely to do the same over the next year.

For those who missed them the previous parts are available below-
Part 1 is here 
Part 2 is here
Part 3 is here
​
Part 4 is here
Part 5 is here
Naoya Inoue
For us the #1 Asian fighter to keep an eye on in 2016 is the sensational Naoya Inoue (9-0, 8) who is set for a potentially massive year. The youngster, who has fought just 4 rounds in the last 16 months, looks to bounce back from a disappointing 2015, a year in which he fought just once, with 3, if not 4, bouts this year. The first of those is expected in Spring, in Japan, before a highly anticipated US debut and then at least one other bout later in the year, likely in late December.
​
The youngster really is the boxing gem of the East and has all the tools to become one of the real stars of world boxing. Blessed with devastating power and physical strength he has honed his boxing ability under the tutelage of his father and is as devastating a fighter as the sport has right now. Not only is he devastating in the ring but he's the type of fighter who makes everything seem effortless and actually appears to get enjoyment from stepping into the ring. His potential is possibly the highest of any active fighter and yet he's already a 2-weight world champion with a 4-0 (4) record in world title fights.
Gennady Golovkin
​Whilst Inoue is the future of Asian boxing it's fair to say that the current star is Kazakh destroyer Gennady Golovkin (34-0, 31). The Middleweight ruler is a fighter who has sliced through the contenders at 160lbs and is now looking to secure a win over a “big fish” in the division, sadly however it does seem like those big fish are doing their best to stay out of his relatively small pond. The heavy handed Kazakh is widely regarded as one of the sports most feared fighters, one of the hardest punching and a man who can do it all, box or bang. Sadly though he really isn't a fighter with time to waste and the 33 year old will know that his team had to throw money at potential opponents this year if he's to move to the next level in terms of his popularity, and silence the doubters.

Although well known in boxing circles Golovkin hasn't yet crossed over, though does have the potential to with school boy looks, memorable “Golovkin-isms”, and personable character. He also speaks English and is developing his language skills, things that have helped him catch on with HBO who do back him heavily. Hopefully HBO will back up their support with cold hard money to try and turn him into something more than just an exciting fighter.
Takashi Uchiyama
Another very serious puncher in the sport right now is Japanese Super Featherweight ruler Takashi Uchiyama (24-0-1, 20), aptly named “KO Dynamite”. The heavy handed Watanabe gym fighter is a very young 36 who has typically avoided wars due to his devastating power, and although his rise to the top has been hindered by injuries he now looks to be injury free and ready to announce himself to a bigger, more global star. That announcement is likely to begin with a Spring bout against unbeaten Jamaican Nicholas Walters, a win there would see Uchiyama supplant himself on US TV and possibly become a star on both sides of the globe.

​Although Uchiyama has faced some questionable opposition since claiming his world title, more than 6 year ago, he has beaten some top fighters such as Juan Carlos Salgado, Takashi Miura, Jorge Solis and Bryan Vasquez. To date he has 11 defenses and is seeking to break the Japanese record of 13, held by Yoko Gushiken, and that record may well go be the end of 2016.
Shinsuke Yamanaka
One more final Japanese fighter to mention, and another puncher, is Shinsuke Yamanaka (24-0-2, 17), the WBC Bantamweight champion and a man regarded by many as an elite pound-for-pound level fighter. Aged 33 Yamanaka has got time against him but he's not had many wars, has scary power in his left hand and is a naturally heavy handed puncher. The Southpaw champion, known as “God's Left”, has recorded 9 defenses beating the likes of Vic Darchinyan, Tomas Rojas, Malcolm Tunacao, Suriyan Sor Rungvisai and Anselmo Moreno, though the win over Moreno was a controversial one.

We're expecting Yamanaka to return to the ring in March with a potential rematch against either Suriyan or Moreno likely to occur before the end of the year. Hopefully he will also have time to fit in a US debut, hopefully with Jamie McDonnell, or a unification bout with Juan Carlos Payano, Lee Haskins or Pungluang Sor Singyu. Sadly however Yamanaka is getting to the point where fights need to be big before his career is over and although talented he may well become a fighter who fails to acceptance in the West until his career is oiver
Amnat Ruenroeng
​
Thailand doesn't have many stars right now, and many of those who are “stars” are exciting fighters with aggressive styles and a mentality that going the distance isn't great. One exception top that general view is the slippery, tricky, dirty and frustrating Amnat Ruenroeng (17-0, 5) who seems to delight in torturing opponents over the full 36 minutes with a combination of boxing, wrestling and everything in between. The IBF Flyweight champion may well be the dirtiest champion in the sport right now, but is also one of the most over-looked and potentially most difficult to dethrone.

The 36 year old Thai won his world title in early 2014 and has already scored 5 defenses, including wins over Kazuto Ioka, Zou Shiming and Johnriel Casimero. It's likely that a rematch with either Casimero or Ioka will come in 2016 though there is talk about a potential fight with Roman Gonzalez and, given the depth at Flyweight, there is a number of other possible match ups out there.

The Asian Fighters to watch in 2016 (Part 5 of 6)

Over the next 12 months we're expecting to see a lot of changes in the world of professional boxing. As a result we have put together a list of 30 Asian fighters to keep an eye out for 2016. These range from champions to novices but all are expected to make a mark on the sport over the next 12 months. Here is part 2 which looks at 5 young novices who have impressed in 2015 and look likely to do the same over the next year.

For those who missed them the previous parts are available below-

Part 2 is here

​
Part 4 is here
Kazuto Ioka
In 2015 we saw Kazuto Ioka (19-1, 11) set the world “speed” record for fewest fights to become a 3-weight world champion. The talented Osakan however never looked like a real Flyweight until the very end of the year when he battered Juan Carlos Reveco into an 11th round TKO. Now with his frame filled out we're expect very big things form Ioka in 2016 and he's already talking about unification bouts. Popular, talented, intelligent and with a devastating body attack Ioka appears to finally be settling into being the fighter than many expected to become. He's no longer a scrawny fighter at 112lbs but instead he's a power young man who looks like he could be on his way to becoming a modern Japanese great.

Talented, fast, confident, conservative and with power that appears to be developing Ioka is one of the biggest stars in Japan, and a mega-star in Osaka. Saying that he is unlikely to crack the global scene unless he can score a genuinely massive win, which would mean facing, and beating, someone like Roman Gonzalez or Juan Francisco Estrada, neither of which is a particularly easy task. He does however have time on his side given that he is just 26 years old, and has already achieved so much since his debut back in 2009.

Akira Yaegashi
Japan has a lot of blood and guts fighters, in fact the warrior mentality does seem to historically sum up a lot of Japanese fighters. Arguably the best of those at the moment is 3-weight world champion Akira Yaegashi (23-5, 12) who has given fans more action on a lb-for-lb basis than almost any other fighter of the 20 years. The 32 year old Ohahsi gym fighter mounted a serious career comeback in 2015 and now looks to unify his IBF Light Flyweight title with another world title bout. He's unlikely to have a long reign but he will have a fun reign and will continue with his balls to the wall action fights. Sadly for Akira his body has taken a lot of punishment in his career but he knows that that punishment has helped him become a fan favourite and one of the most must watch fighters on the planet.

Expected back in the ring in May we're hoping to see a fully fit Yaegashi fight in his second unification bout, though given his hard career there is a case of knowing his body will probably never be 100%. Part of that damage is to his face which now swells up worryingly quickly. 
Kohei Kono
If there was one Japanese fighter who will be willing to get his passport out in 2016 it's Kohei Kono (31-8-1, 12) who saw his profile sky rocket in 2015, despite fighting only once. Kono's one bout of the year saw him make his US debut and over-come Koki Kameda in a thriller, a genuine FOTY contender. He's now expected to travel to Macau in early 2016 to face Rex Tso, in what is expected to be another all action war. The Watanabe gym fighter, currently reigning as the WBA Super Flyweight champion for the second time, is tough, gutsy, exciting and hard working and has the style to make very fan friendly bouts, even if his reign is likely to be over-shadowed by that of compatriot Naoya Inoue.

Tough, exciting and hard working Kono isn't a stare but has the traits of someone who can, and does, make TV friendly fights. Unfortunately for him he can be out boxed, can be made to look stationary and can be made to look second rate. His will to win will always make him dangerous to everyone except for the truly elite but at 35 and with years of punishment it's fair to say he may well only have one or two wars left in his body, with a Tso fight likely to be a war when it eventually happens.
Donnie Nietes
The Filipino boxing scene is in a transition period at the moment with many of the stalwarts now looking like they are on the slide. The one exception is the often over-looked Donnie Nietes (27-1-4, 21) who, at 33, actually appears to be getting better. “Ahas” is the current WBO Light Flyweight champion and a man who is looking to finally get international recognition before his career is over. A 2-weight world champion with a 14-0-1 record in world title fights Nietes has a genuine claim to being a top 10 pound for pound for fighter and it seems likely that before 2016 is over he will make a long awaited move to Flyweight, adding to the insane depth in one of boxing's most exciting divisions.

The talented Filipino is a tough, skilled and intelligent fighter who has shown his ability to adapt in fights as well as between fights. He has been able to show that his skills to fight when he needs to fight, box when he wants top box and defeat much younger fighters, as he showed last year when he beat Francisco Rodriguez Jr in a thrilling encounter. He is perhaps showing some frailties at time,s but they are few and far between.
Nonito Donaire
With Manny Pacquiao on the verge of retiring there isn't many of the Filipino “old guard” still around. The most well known of the last generation of Filipino fighters is the popular, and exciting, Nonito Donaire (36-3, 23). The multi-weight champion ended 2015 with the WBO Super Bantamweight title and it's clear he'll be looking to defend the title in the early part of the year. Whether he ends 2016 as the champion is something yet to be seen, but the division is packed and he does have a big name, which arguably makes him a big target for some of the divisional upstarts looking to make a name for themselves. He could be a major player, win or lose, during the coming 12 months.

There is talk that Donaire may fight exciting Russian opponent Evgeny Gradovich in 2016, if that fight gets made then it will be a real crossroads bout with two men who need to shine. Despite that possible match up there are a lot of other options out there for Donaire who could well find himself a man to watch, even if it is the final year of him being a world level fighter.

The Asian Fighters to watch in 2016 (Part 4 of 6)

1/5/2016

Over the next 12 months we're expecting to see a lot of changes in the world of professional boxing. As a result we have put together a list of 30 Asian fighters to keep an eye out for 2016. These range from champions to novices but all are expected to make a mark on the sport over the next 12 months. Here is part 2 which looks at 5 young novices who have impressed in 2015 and look likely to do the same over the next year.

For those who missed them the previous parts are available below-
Part 1 is here 
Part 2 is here
Part 3 is here
Albert Pagara
Filipino sensation Albert Pagara (25-0, 18) is only 21 years old but already looks like a star with all the tools to reach the top and the star look that could help him become the next focal point of Filipino boxing. Despite his age he has been a professional for almost 5 years and managed to remain active through out those years. Not only has he been active but he has been stepping up his competition and recent wins against Raul Hirales, Jesus Rios and Rodolfo Hernandez are all good wins. Naturally a strong and mature fighter Pagara has developed some brilliant skills and appears to be a veteran already, despite being a proverbial baby. He's now only a few fights away from becoming a genuine contender in the Super Bantamweight division.

Whilst Pagara has been very impressive in the professional ranks he was also a very good amateur, with a reportedly unbeaten record, and has the mistakes of older brother Jason Pagara to learn from. If he can use both of those, along with his natural ability and scarily developing talent, then it really will take a very special fighter to stop Pagara going all the way.
Jonathan Taconing
In 2016 we're picking the Light Flyweight division as the one to shine and part of that is due to how many good fighters are plying their trade at the weight. Arguably the most under-rated fighter in the division is Filipino slugger Jonathan Taconing (22-2-1, 18). The Filipino is an aggressive, spiteful and heavy handed fighter who seems to be offended by hearing the final bell. With 25 fights on his record the 28 year old is now ready to get his second shot at a world title, and the thing is it's fair to say the champions aren't really in rush to face. He's a genuine nightmare with his toughness, power and southpaw stance and he's also shown a willingness to travel, having fought in hostile territory in Thailand and Mexico.

Supposedly in line for a world title eliminator Taconing is the type of unattractive fighter that bigger names will do their best to avoid. Hopefully the WBC show some integrity and give force an opponent to face Taconing, though it seems likely that the Mexican outfit will continue to mess Taconing about, as they have done since he was robbed in his only world title fight so far.
Takashi Miura
​Japanese fighters don't tend to have success in the West however sometimes even a loss can enhance a fighters reputation. That was case when Takashi Miura (29-3-2, 22) made his US debut and suffered a loss to Francisco Vargas. That loss cost the 31 year old Miura the WBC Super Featherweight title but saw him leaving the ring with a new found fan base that will welcome him back, likely in a rematch with Vargas in 2016. Heavy handed, a little bit wild and with intense aggression Miura provides explosive action in a style that will make fans tune in and it's hard to see fans forgetting about him, despite the fact he begins the year as just a contender on the back of a stoppage loss.

A rematch with Vargas looks like for 2016 though it's probably fair to say that both men will take an easy bout before then. Hopefully Miura's "easy" bout will come in the US to allow him to impress a US audience again before facing Vargas later in the year in a bout for revenge. If both men could feature on the same card then it's fair to say that fans will be forced to tune in and they will also realise just how good both are in their own right. Sadly however a rematch with Takashi Uchiyama now appears to be dead in the water.
Stamp Kiatniwat
​The youngest man on this list is unbeaten Thai Stamp Kiatniwat (14-0, 6), who turns 18 on January 7th. The baby faced teenager turned professional at just 15 years old though began making a name for himself in 2014, with a very notable win over former champion Kwanthai Sithmorseng. Last year he build on the Kwanthai win by claiming the WBA “interim” Flyweight title with a controversial victory over Gregorio Lebron. Stamp will be facing Lebron for a second time in early 2016 and a win there would likely lead to Stamp facing a string of third tier fighters whilst developing his skills and maturing into a man. The Thai's see him as a big part of the future for the Thai scene and know that he can't be rushed too much, despite being very advanced for one so young.

Whilst currently an "interim" champion Stamp's team have backed him hard and whilst they know their change is a long way from being the complete article they will continue to pour money into his match making, his development and training. They will be hoping that investment pays off, however he will need to show major improvements to get as far as he team wish, despite his prodigious natural talent.
Wanheng Menayothin
​The Thai fight scene might not be one of the best but it does have some real gems in it. One of those gems is the criminally under-rated WBC Minimumweight champion Wanehng Menayothin (40-0, 15), possibly the best of the bunch at 105lbs. The Thai, like many Thai's, has a very padded record but in recent times he has managed to show the ability to back up the record with wins that have showcased his talent. In the ring he's an intelligent, hard working and technically sound pressure fighter. He lacks a KO punch but is a real grinder who gets inside and breaks fighters mentally and physically. He's going to be a hard man to dethrone and we suspect that his reign will extend until 2017, at the very least.

At the moment Wanhenng lacks a big name win, though does have a handful of credible wins, including victories over Florante Condes and Oswaldo Novoa. But the reality is that he does still need some big wins in 2016 to solidify his claim as a real champion. He may be finding one of those tests in the form of Denver Cuello, and a win over the big punching Filipino would certainly doe Wanheng's reputation a lot of good.

The Asian Fighters to watch in 2016 (Part 3 of 6)

1/4/2016

0 Comments

 
Over the next 12 months we're expecting to see a lot of changes in the world of professional boxing. As a result we have put together a list of 30 Asian fighters to keep an eye out for 2016. These range from champions to novices but all are expected to make a mark on the sport over the next 12 months. Here is part 2 which looks at 5 young novices who have impressed in 2015 and look likely to do the same over the next year.

For those who missed it, part 1 is here and part 2 is here.
Mark Magsayo
Regarded as one of the most promising and talented Filipino's in a generation Mark Magsayo (12-0, 10) is expected to have an amazing 2016 as he continues to climb through the ranks and make a name for himself. Regarded as a blue chip prospect the former amateur star has been a professional for more than 2 years though really came of age last year when he was given some real tests, from the likes of Sukkasem Kietyongyuth and Rafael Reyes. Those tests brought the best from Magsayo who saw off some early problems and finished off both men as he progressed to title level for the first time. “Magnifico” has all the tools to go to the top and we expect to see that talent a lot in 2016.

At just 20 years old the future is wonderfully bright for Magsayo and it's fair say that we have only seen a fraction of what he's capable of, and in fact even that fraction is still more than we see of most fighters. If he can build on that as he builds up his experience than the Philippines appear likely to have a real star in their ranks.
Ye Joon Kim
South Korean boxing is continuing to flounder. There is no way to ignore the issues that have stopped the country from moving forward with boxing in recent years. One of the few shining lights of Korean boxing is enigmatic Super Bantamweight Ye Joon Kim (13-1-2, 7). Kim is a 23 year old old from Seoul who has shown some real flashes of brilliance in the ring, and has scored some notable wins including a 6th round KO of Angky Ankotta, though has struggled in recent bouts with a very controversial over Vergil Puton. When on song he is brilliant and he is the one shining light for the KBF going forward.

Whilst Korean hopes do lie with Kim there is Min Wook Kim and Kyoo Hwan Hwang who may be able to make a mark in 2016. Sadly for Korean boxing Min Wook Kim he is currently based in the West, and although he does get better training and opportunities in the West it does seem like a loss for Asian boxing scene why Hwang has much to learn before being matched against people who could really help him make a name for himself. As a result Ye Joon Kim appears to be the one Korean that may be able to kickstart boxing in his homeland.
Ryota Murata
Japanese Olympic champions are rare and the most recent was 2012 Middleweight champion Ryota Murata (8-0, 5). The 29 year old Teiken fighter is a fighter who is known in the West, following his Olympic win in England and his US debut last year. Sadly however he has looked like a fighter who at times is very predictable and once paced, as shown against Gunnar Jackson last time out. Although has looked limited at times he has also shown glimpses of world class ability, such as his finish against Douglas Damiao Ataide. He's expected to have a very big 2016 though it's hard to see him winning a world title in the next 12 months, given the fact Gennady Golovkin is ripping the division a new one and Murata wouldn't be given a chance against the Kazakh.

Although not as impressive as we had hoped, we do think that Murata has a lot more to offer than we've seen. He seems to know that he needs a big performance and hopefully he can deliver rather than continue looking like a man going through the motions, as he has done at times. If he can find that extra gear on a consistent basis then he really could become the star that Teiken and Top Rank thought they had when they signed him to a co-promotional deal.
Masayuki Ito
The Super Featherweight division is one of the most interesting in Japan where there are a huge number of brilliant match ups that could be made over the coming 12 months. Of those fighters we suspect the best on the domestic scene is the fast improving Masayuki Ito (18-1-1, 8). The talented 24 year old hasn't had the publicity of conqueror Rikki Naito but has the ability to become a world champion in the near future. The pure boxer has already notched wins over Masao Nakamura, Dai Iwai and Shingo Eto and has made massive improvements in recent years, suggesting that he will keep getting better and will growing in confidence.

Ito will know that, at best, he's the #3 Japanese fighter in the division, however when those above him are current world champion Takashi Uchiyama and former champion Takashi Miura there is no shame in being #3, for. The future however does look really bright for the youngster and, potentially, he'll become a world champion in the future if he continues to develop his skills and confidence in the way he has done in the last few years.
Shingo Wake
One man who is almost certain to get a world title fight in 2016 is Japanese Super Bantamweight Shingo Wake (19-4-2, 11). Wake, the IBF mandatory challenger, is one of the sports most over-looked fighters, due in part to his 4 losses. He is however a fighter who has improved drastically from a 3-2-1 (2) start to his professional career and is currently on a 9 fight winning run. A sharp shooting and tricky southpaw who is tough, intelligent, tricky and has under-rated power Wake is a real wildcard in one of the sports most frustrating divisions. He'll get to show why so highly regarded by those “in the know” later in 2016 when he is supposed to fight the winner of the Carl Frampton/Scott Quigg bout.

The confident Koguchi gym fighter is capable of going all the way and although we think, stylistically, he'd be a real nightmare for Frampton he may well be able to over-come Quigg if that bout is made. Interestingly Wake has shown an interest in travelling and, if his eventual title bout is in Europe he could create a small slice of history as the first Japanese fighter to claim a world title Europe.

The Asian Fighters to watch in 2016 (Part 2 of 6)

1/3/2016

Over the next 12 months we're expecting to see a lot of changes in the world of professional boxing. As a result we have put together a list of 30 Asian fighters to keep an eye out for 2016. These range from champions to novices but all are expected to make a mark on the sport over the next 12 months. Here is part 2 which looks at 5 young novices who have impressed in 2015 and look likely to do the same over the next year.

For those who missed it, part 1 is here.
Hinata Maruta
Novice professional Hinata Maruta (1-0) is regarded by many in the know as the best young Japanese fighter to turn professional since Naoya Inoue. The Bantamweight-come-Super Bantamweight was a stand out amateur who has been fighting since he was a very young kid appears to have the natural talent to go a very way. Not only has he got natural talent but he has a team who truly believe in him and are doing everything they can to get him in the ring training with high level fighters. On his debut he beat the world ranked Jason Canoy and it seems very clear that his team will be matching hard in 2016. If he's as good as hyped then the youngster is likely to be one of the true stars of world boxing over the coming years.

Whilst unlikely to be raced to a world title in 2016, despite having insane ability, it does almost certain that Maruta will be in the world rankings before December 31st and, given his backing, he will almost certainly be a fighter getting much deserved TV time, rather than having only a portion of his bouts shown as he did on his tape delayed debut.

Ken Shiro
Another Japanese hopeful that has excited us in 2015 was Ken Shiro (6-0, 3), a Light Flyweight youngster with all the talent a fighter could wish to have. Ken Shiro had a huge 2015, winning the WBC Youth Light Flyweight title and the JBC title, and is expected to carry on his momentum through 2016. The youngster proved that he could cope with adversity, getting off the canvas against Rolly Sumalpong, he proved he could box to a game plan, especially against Katsunori Nagamine, and he proved he could gut it out when he began to tire, against Kenichi Horikawa. Having already gone 10 rounds twice we expect to see Ken Shiro move into 12 rounders next year with a possible OPBF title fight.

One think working against Ken Shiro will be the depth of the Light Flyweight division, which is genuine packed with the likes of Ryo Miyazaki, Paipharabob Kokietgym, Jonathan Taconing and Randy Petalcorin all well above him in the queue for a world title fight. Despite that he doesn't need to rush and will instead moves towards preparing for a world title shot when ever it comes.
Diago Higa
One of the most exciting fighters of 2015 was Japanese Flyweight warrior Daigo Higa (8-0, 8) who broke out from the crowd with an all action win against the then unbeaten Kongfah CP Freshmart in Thailand. The 20 year old Higa has the style which is going to attract fans and make him hard to beat. He's aggressive, heavy handed, exciting and although he does have some defensive issues he is a tough fighter with a lot of energy making him a real nightmare. At the moment he's unlikely to beat any of the top fighters in the division however he will likely find himself breaking into the world rankings in 2016 and claiming either a Japanese or an OPBF title, in one of the most packed divisions in the sport.

With an exciting style a lot of Higa's future success will depend on his toughness, but if he's as tough and gutsy as he looks there has to be real excitement about how far he will go and what he will manage to achieve during a career that has a lot of time left in it. Given his mentor is the great Yoko Gushiken we expect to see Higa continue to fight in a vein similar to Gushiken and hopefully he'll have some of the success of the great "Kanmuriwashi".
Takuma Inoue
The Inoue family really look like they are at the start of a dynasty in boxing. Naoya Inoue is, of course, a world champion already and younger brother Takuma Inoue (6-0, 1) isn't far behind. The younger of the Inoue brothers is just 20 years old but already looks like a nailed on future world champion. The youngster has already beaten 2 men who have challenged for world and has got himself into a brilliant position to fight for a world title during 2016. His biggest worry is that his brother will almost always over-shadow him, though his career is likely to be a very impressive one and he will almost certainly prove himself as a world class fighter in his own right.

At his best Takuma is an outside boxer-mover and whilst this may not endear him to fans in the way his brother's seek-and-destroy style has, it's clear that he is holding himself to a high standard and will be seeking to improve every fight. Given his inexperience it's easy to see he's not the complete article but he's quickly becoming a fighter who looks very tough to beat.
Kevin Jake Cataraja
The youngest Filipino on this list is the very highly touted 20 year old hopeful Kevin Jake “KJ” Cataraja. The Flyweight hopeful is a member of the ALA Gym and so he has an excellent team of training, stablemates and management behind him and they seem to have real belief in him. That belief has been seen in the fact he has started his career in 6 rounders and has been matched with tricky opponents, including Ardi Tefa and Ellias Nggenggo, who stopped Cataraja's stablemate Merlito Sabillo in 2014. Talented, confident, powerful and controlled this youngster could be one of the next stars of Filipino boxing, even if it is still very early to appoint him as a star of the future.

At the moment Cataraja is still a novice but he's the sort of fighter who has the amateur pedigree, confidence and team to do great things. The hope however is that he avoids the tag of being the "Next Pacquiao" as the tag has been less a blessing and more a curse for fighters who have had their own career derailed before getting the chance to really find their own

The Asian Fighters to watch in 2016 (Part 1 of 6)

1/2/2016

Over the next 12 months we're expecting to see a lot of changes in the world of professional boxing. As a result we have put together a list of 30 Asian fighters to keep an eye out for 2016. These range from champions to novices but all are expected to make a mark on the sport over the next 12 months.
Riku Kano
The second youngest man on the 30 fighter list is 18 year old Japanese fighter Riku Kano (8-1-1, 4) who is a Japanese Minimumweight expected to race through the rankings to a world title fight. The teenage debuted as a 16 year old, in the Philippines, and fought his first 7 bouts overseas, whilst too young to even qualify for a Japanese license. Since then however he has began to make a mark in his homeland and last time out he dominated the experienced Pigmy Kokietgym. The target for his team is the Japanese national record for youngest world champion so we suspect that 2016 will be a very significant year for the youngster who will have to be matched aggressively over the coming 12 months.

To date his best opponent is Pigmy though it's thought that in early 2016 he face another world ranked opponent en route to breaking into the rankings, which he will use to get himself a title fight. There is also some suspicion that he will travel for that title fight, possibly returning to Thailand or the Philippines, to get around the JBC's rules on needing to win a domestic or OPBF title before "graduating" to a world title bout.
Tugstsogt Nyambayar
The only Mongolian on this list is American based fighter Tugstsogt Nyambayar (4-0, 4) who really does look like one of the sports most promising prospects. The heavy handed Mongolian was a former amateur star, and won a silver medal at the 2012 Olympics, and turned professional last year winning 4 bouts in a combined 7 rounds. Aged 23 and fighting in California he has a real chance to break out in 2016, if given TV time. His style is aggressive, his hands are heavy and he's part of the rising crop of fighters looking to make a serious mark on the Super Bantamweight division. To date his opponents haven't been outstanding, but he has been stopping tough guys quickly and really should be stepped up in his first bout of the new year.

At the moment we've yet to see him face an opponent who was likely to beat him, but we also haven't seen him face an opponent that he was supposed to blow away as easily as he has done so far. If he has the Mongolian grit, the grit that made the less skilled Lakva Sim a world champion, then there is no doubting that Nyambayar has the potential to become the most successful professional Mongolian fighter in boxing history. (Video is of Nyambayar Vs Arturo Badillo)

Muhammad Waseem
Pakistan isn't a notable boxing country but we are really excited about the talented Muhammad Waseem (2-0, 2). The 28 year old, who debuted back in October 2015, is based in Korea and claimed the Korean Bantamweight title on his debut, though has since dropped down and it seems he may be looking to make a mark at Super Flyweight. Waseem has a long amateur background and is a very complete fighter who has also proven his stamina, having gone in to round 9 on his debut. Backed by Korean promoter Andy Kim there is some real excitement that Waseem could bring top quality action back to Korea and become the first Pakistan national to really make a mark on professional boxing. Given his age we do suspect he'll be moved quickly through the international ranks and could well climb into the world rankings by the end of 2016.

Although unlikely to ever make professional boxing "big" in Pakistan it is great to see Waseem making a name for himself in the professional ranks and hopefully AK Promotions will help him get the fights his talents deserve. With some luck that will include going for an OPBF title before the year is out.
Dmitry Bivol
The rather small country of Kyrgyzstan may well be the birth place of one of boxing's truly elite prospects in the form of the unbeaten Light Heavyweight Dmitry Bivol (5-0, 5). The 25 year old debuted in November 2014 and has already been making a real impact in the sport. So far he's just missing out on the world rankings, with the WBC ranking him at #19, but one more win should see him break in to the top 15's. Blessed with hurtful power, good stamina, a nasty mentality and every punch in the book Bivol does look like one of the most complete prospects in the sport, and has been matched hard from the off. Despite being matched hard there is a feeling that we've only seen a tiny bit of what Bivol is capable of and it's worrying to know just how much potential this young may have.

Although not yet a threat for the likes of Sergey Kovalev, Adonis Stevenson, Andre Ward, Arthur Beterbiev or Jean Pascal it is far to say that Bivol will be finding himself in that company in the near future, if he keep up his high level of performances. Perhaps we will need to wait until 2017 to those types of bouts, but it'll be great fun to see him progress through the next 12 months.

Iwan Zoda
​Indonesian fight fans might not have had a lot to be excited about since the retirement of Chris John but one of their shining hopes is teenager Iwan Zoda (8-1, 7) who has stopped everyone he's faced, avenged his sole defeat and began to look like a man with real star potential. The youngster is a natural athlete who has had to fight for everything and that desire shows when he's in the ring. Not only is he hungry but he's also confident, tough and surprisingly heavy handed for someone so young. With a good team behind him there is a lot to be excited about by Zoda, though the chances are he will need to move outside of Indonesia for the big fights his ability deserves.

At just 19 years old Zoda is a really young fighter yet he has already proven that he can fight hard for 12 rounds on the road, in fact he's done so in the horrific conditions of Thailand. Any fighter who can win as a visitor to Thailand is worth making a mental note of, when considering he did so as a teenager against an unbeaten and touted opponent in Petchchorhae Kokietgym, then it really does put into perspective just how good Zoda already is, and how good he could be become in the near future.

We hope to have part of this up in the coming days, and it will feature more notable names, though we feel the 5 men listed here are all fighters who will become bigger in 2016, despite being relatively unknown by those other than the hardcore fans.

So we're now in 2016 and it's time to reflect on the year that we've just had, and what is to come over the next year or so.

​Firstly let me just say thank you to everyone. From those that are visiting for the first time to those who have been with us for the last few years, those have sent us information and links to those who have retweeted and shared our stories and articles we want to thank you all.

As well as thank “you lot” we would also like to take a moment to thank the people we write about, the fighters, managers, trainers and others in the boxing world. With out those folk this site wouldn't exist, we'd have nothing to write about and would obviously have to find something else to do with our time, perhaps play games or go into the terrifying outdoors.

We would also like to say another thank you to the people around us, including the awfully patient other halves who have put up with the long hours, weird schedules and sometimes early mornings that have allowed this site to become what it is.

Now that we've said thanks to pretty much everyone we would like to look back at the year, and what a long and brilliant year it has been.

We've had upsets, wars, shining stars, retirements, disappointment and a lot of fun. Over the coming week or so we will be hoping to put up a number of feature articles regarding those. Ahead of that however there are a few things that we would like to list as high points.

Jonathan Taconing Vs Ramon Garcia Hirales-Prior to this year many fight fans didn't really know who Taconing was, unless they saw his controversial loss to Kompayak Porpramook back in 2012. This year however he scored a statement win, in Mexico, against former world champion Garcia Hirales. The win helped the world wake up toe Taconing's ability and style and hopefully 2016 will see him fight for a world title.

Kosei Tanaka Vs Julian Yedras-We have been Tanaka since before his debut and it made us feel really happy when the then 19 year old won the WBO Minimumweight title in just his 5th bout. The youngster's rise to the top really was special, and hopefully he will go on to achieve the amazing things that this type of start deserves.

Iwan Zoda Vs Petchchorhae Kokietgym II-Last year we were tipped off about Zoda, who was being described as a wonder kid from Indonesia. There was fears that he would get lost and forgotten about at home though his rematch with Petchchorhae saw him break out and become a name worth following, with fans around the world slowly making a note about him

Hinata Maruta Vs Jason Canoy-We had been following Maruta since before his pro-test bout back in 2014 and had waited (and waited) for his debut which came against Canoy. It was a tricky assignment for the youngster but the performance was excellent and it showed that Maruta was as good as hyped, and may well be the best of the emerging Japanese talents.

Akira Yaegashi Vs Javier Mendoza-It's almost impossible not to like Yaegashi. The guy is the type of fighter who will always give his all, always put on a performance and always give fans their money's worth. He did that again against Mendoza to become a 3-weight world champion and prove us wrong for writing him off.

Of course things have upset and disappointed us, but on the whole the year has been on of highs and excitement and we're glad that you guys have joined us for the ride! Hopefully 2016 will just as good, if not better!

Again, thank you from the whole team!

    Thinking Out East

    With this site being pretty successful so far we've decided to open up about our own views and start what could be considered effectively an editorial style opinion column dubbed "Thinking Out East" (T.O.E).

    T.O.E is just a collection of our thoughts, rambles and general things related to boxing in the East.
