Wow, good matchup. I've got Horiguchi via UD. Regardless, can't wait..
Oh shit...great fight. This should have been the headliner considering both of these guys are nearing another title shot.
I'm torn on this one because they're both my favourites in the division. My heart is leaning towards kyoji, but my brain is saying Bagautinov.
Fuck it, I'll go with kyoji.
I also think it'll be a landslide, but Bagautinov is very tough.Hiriguchi finishing him or landslide ass whupping
Just curious, where do both guys train?
I'll take the Guchi via blinding speed. Dude is scary fast.
Thank you. Maybe I'll take Ali via estrogen blockersGuchi is at ATT
Ali is at Jackson's
Fortheo, I think it's a no brainer. Horiguchi all the way, Ali not going to have any answers to his foot speed or hand speed.
Ali is no joke in the clinch. If he clinches up with Kyoji, then it's trouble. Bagautinov is also a better boxer than the majority of Kyoji's formers opponents. I don't see this at all as a no brainer, but I'm siding with kyoji for now.
No sure if he can initiate and keep the clinch with him, he looked solid in his last fight, but nothing that made me say wow. He's a tough skilled opponent for Horiguchi, but I think Horiguchis speed going to be too much.
He got Mighty mouse, who is faster than Horiguchi, in the clinch repeatedly through-out that fight and took him down, but unfortunately for him, mighty mouse has the most dangerous clinch in that division.
I think people forget how good Bagautinov is. Here's a few reminders:
Him taking down mighty mouse, twice:
Him showing off his punching power
