for those interested in the small guys. This looks like a good fight. Malinga is a powerful tall, come forward pressure fighter. Hasegawa is a masterful boxer, very quick, but little power. It looks to be a really good match up. For my money, Hasegawa on a points decision or late TKO....thoughts??

Sounds like it could be a good fight to me. I'll go with Hozumi Hasegawa by decision for another successful defense of his bantamweight title.
What?, why should he? he is fighitng good international opposition in Japan. I don't see how that will do him any good career or business wise.

No its not how I thought it would go. I thought Hasegawa would play with the slower, more predictable Malinga and win a easy decision.
Hasegawa has the ability to hurt you with that straight left hand though and he caught Malinga early and didn't let him off the hook.
Thats not how I thought it would go...but the fight played out in a very simple fashion. Hasegawa landed a good shot and kept landing it until the fight was stopped.

It surprised me a bit, especially since i was figuring on Hasegawa by decision. Great job on Hasegawa's part though.
I am a gymmate of hasegawa.
he suffered in weight loss this time.
his next fight rumored may be
against featherweight champion Chris Jon.
if he stay in Bantamweight,
big fight is only against vic darchinnyan in Las vegas as he said every time he wans to fight in LasVegas.
btw it is huge unfortunate his fight is on NTV Network.
their film work is too bad....not exciting.
worst one in Japanese TV network.
we demand Fuji TV like K-1 WGP...
