I watched some of bomba
then I remembered I saw him years ago get blasted out by Segura

watching his recent work he has some real assests that he brings to the table.
1. his mobility. not only is he really good at moving and making space but he is really good at firing that left real quick and getting out of Dodge.
2. he is a southie
3. he is very good defensively. in his fight with Soto he did some impressive work

these put him at odds with kenshiro's last two opponents as they both were come forward guys who went out on their shield.

negatives though kenshiro dwarfs him and has really fight ending power.

it is an interesting match up. honestly I find myself liking some of Bomba recent stuff more than Teraji. but teraji's fights have been much more entertaining

seems like a light fly sterotype but his a fantastic fight between world class boxers set to fly under the radar.
 
I'm hearing Ioka/Nakatani might be on this card too, as well as Shokichi Iwata
 
straight up, if Kenshiro gets three fights this year (Bomba, Budler and the Matellon/Canizales winner), that'll be a very strong case for fighter of the year, that's a lot of styles and excellent fighters in one of hte five best divisions in the sport

The three-belt junior flyweight unification bout between Kenshiro Teraji and Jonathan Gonzalez on April 8 in Tokyo will be streamed live on ESPN+ in the U.S., Top Rank Boxing announced Tuesday.

Teraji, ESPN's No. 1 junior flyweight, holds the WBA and WBC titles at 108 pounds; Gonzalez. ranked No. 2 by ESPN, holds the WBO belt.

Teraji (20-1, 12 KOs) unified the titles with a seventh-round TKO of Hiroto Kyoguchi in November, a career-best win. All of Teraji's fights have taken place in his native Japan. He made eight titles defenses during his first title run before he was stopped by Masamichi Yabuki in 2021. Teraji, 31, avenged that loss and regained the title in an immediate rematch.

Gonzalez (27-3-1, 14 KOs) won his title with a split-decision upset over Elwin Soto in 2021. The first title victory of his career followed a failed title bid in Japan against Kosei Tanaka in 2019 at 112 pounds. Gonzalez, 31, fights out of Puerto Rico.

On the undercard, Naoya Inoue's brother, Takuma Inoue, will meet Liborio Solis for the vacant WBA bantamweight title. The 118-pound belt is one of the four titles Naoya Inoue vacated last month ahead of a May showdown with 122-pound champion Stephen Fulton in May in Japan.

Takuma Inoue (17-1, 4 KOs) was defeated by Nordine Oubaali in his previous title opportunity. Inoue has won four consecutive bouts since the 2019 setback.

Solis (35-6-1, 16 KOs) has lost all three of his title challenges, including a 2020 defeat by Guillermo Rigondeaux. The 40-year-old, who fights out of Panama City, Panama, also lost title fights against Jamie McDonnell and Shinsuke Yamanaka.

Also on the undercard: Japanese kickboxing star Tenshin Nasukawa will make his professional boxing debut against Yuki Yonaha in a six-round 122-pound bout. Nasukawa was involved in a boxing exhibition with Floyd Mayweather Jr. in 2018.
