March 16th 2016-Korakuen Hall, Tokyo, Japan Hidenori Otake (24-2-3, 11) vs Satantung Sor Bangkhru (0-1)* Earlier this year Japanese fans saw former world title challenger Hidenori Otake (25-2, 12) [大竹 秀典] battle against Thailand's Satantung Sor Bangkhru in what was regarded as a stay busy fight for the former Japanese Super Bantamweight champion. *Satantung's record also reported as 7-4 (4) coming into this bout November 18th 2015-Korakuen Hall, Tokyo, Japan Hidenori Otake(23-2-3, 10) vs San Saknarong (2-4) In 2014 we saw Hidenori Otake prove his toughness in a world title fight. Since then he has fought a couple of bouts with one of them coming against Thailand's limited San Saknarong. Japanese fighters have a reputation for being incredibly tough. We saw this stereotype last year in a 2013 FOTY contender between Nihito Arakawa and Omar Figueroa, we saw it again in 2014 when Hidenori Otake took the best shots of Britain's Scott Quigg, and came back for more. The bout wasn't the most competitive but Otake did show insane toughness, heart and energy in a brilliant losing effort. For those wondering about history, this was the first time a Japanese fighter had traveled to Britain to challenge a world champion since Akio Kameda challenged Terry Marsh back in the 1980's. Sadly like Kameda we saw Otake fall short and we've still not seen a Japanese fighter win a world title in Europe. |
