For those who don't know Yoshiki Takei was a p4p elite kickboxing world champion. He switched to boxing and this is just his 9th professional fight and now he is a boxing world champion. He achieved something great, becoming world champion in two different martial arts.

[@h4z]

Tenshin looks to be on the same path. Japan killing it in the fight game right now

[@NerdChannelBrasil]

@@h4z Yeah but Tenshin is fighting on Inoue's division already, well when he fight for the title Inoue would be at 126 or 130lbs so to me its impossible that the will fight one day. But Nakatani vs Tenshin or Nakatani vs Takei is very probable.

[@cookiebot3369]

[@burningknuckle26]

Takei is a great fighter. he came from kickboxing as a champion.

[@NoiselessProductions]

For those that don't know, Ohashi brought Inoue over to spar Takei for 10 rounds, 4 weeks before the Moloney fight loooool. Takei said that it was the worst beating he's ever had as a fighter and it was so bad, it practically prepared him for that 12th round against Moloney. Inoue wasn't allowed to throw big punches so it was mostly light punches but it felt more like torture. Inoue encouraged Takei while beating his ass up, telling him to throw punches back or else the fight would be called (in a situation like that). Takei thanked Inoue for whooping on his ass looool.

[@LucieOne]

One of the Shigeoka brothers lost but then Nishida won yesterday and now Takei wins. I THINK that's ELEVEN reigning male world champions from Japan. Two unified, one undisputed. They go from having the undisputed bantamweight champion to having all four bantam champions. They also have a unified female champion... has to be considered a golden era for Japanese boxing.

[@desmondscoby1943]

Third Golden Era Do your research Japanese boxing has a long and rich history. Especially against Australia and Mexico

[@Strazion]

Who's the female unified champion?

[@LucieOne]

@@Strazion Eri Matsuda. Has two belts at atomweight and I think one of the other champions in the division is also Japanese.

[@LucieOne]

@@desmondscoby1943 I never said that it wasn't great before, just appreciating how good it is now. I remember reading an article by Joe Koizumi a few months ago and he ended by saying, essentially, that the golden age of Japanese boxing was still to come in the future.

Takei wasn’t hurt. He was just tired.

[@SuperHongTay]

[@diegoguzman8843]

​@@cookiebot3369 Takei was getting hurt when Moloney was connecting his punches.

[@scottiepipps]

@@diegoguzman8843 I think cookie is right. Takei was a kickboxing fighter and this is just his 9th professional boxing fights. Kickboxers are used to fight for 3 rounds so obviously 12 rounds of boxing are very tough for the cardio of an ex kickboxer. He was very fatigued and it started to show in the second half of the fight. I don't think Moloney really hurt him, because Takei has a great chin.

[@SA-hk7bw]

@@diegoguzman8843 He was more gassed out than hurt We would’ve kept his guard up if so

[@jonghoonpark5497]

Takei has more raw skill than Inoue and Nakatani, arguably. His kickboxing background is obvious in his footwork and buoyancy. Clean, tight combinations and sharp execution. Just needs to increase his stamina.

[@hanniplays4398]

[@aluxbalum]

Congratulations Takei, Japan is killing it with this new golden generation of boxers. Takei reminds me of a young Maidana, you can tell he is heavy handed. Now Japan holds all the belts at 118lbs, is time to start unifying.

[@01Ichirei10]

Moloney should have pushed a bit more instead of laying back and waiting for Takei to gas out. Takei did gas out but it was too late.

[@cookiebot3369]

That’s the problem when pressure fighters face heavy handed southpaws. For example, Alejandro Santiago and Argi Cortes are both agressive pressure fighters but showed none of that against Nakatani because they are worried about the counters and Nakatani is also very good with measuring distance. This also applies with Takei who I see as a harder puncher than Nakatani.

[@jackhandma1011]

Japan owns bantamweight now.

[@scottiepipps]

Japan owned bantamweight even before with Naoya Inoue. Now Japan owns bantamweight and super bantamweight.

Send the Moloney twins back to Australia! Ear muff defense no head movement no power. All the right connections to get these fights. Thought he had a cherry pick! And got plucked!

[@adambuller4562]

Lol saying they're using connections to get fights ? Andrew Maloney fought Nakatani last years who is a beast and was favoured to win, why on earth would he take that fight if he could so easily cherry pick some other fighter ? The brothers dont have the star power to be picking and choosing as you suggest. I think they're prob both B level fighters though, they lose when they fight the top dogs. Least they're having a crack

[@junardtortal3862]

[@jakejehusion7458]

True

[@user-xw9hl3wm1g]

Jason you left it to late, if you wish to continue and gain success you need to dramatically change your style. Start learning and train on continuously throwing sharp fluid combinations punches from different angles, don't need to load each punch up just throw sharp combos to break them down until the opportunity comes then put them away best defence is offence if it goes to the cards you'll get the nod because of the volume of punches thrown and landed. Study how a young Thomas Hearns threw his Dangerous fluid combos placing his body behind each shot, also how Pacman continuously threw combos until he broke down his opponent's , combine the two styles. You cannot gain success at the top with your style of fighting not enough pressure and volume of punches.
