[Shadess]

His GoH contract supposedly runs out end of the year, wouldn't be too surprised to see him fighting other top Chinese fighters in Wu Lin Feng early 2021.

Is the gym high level? Looks like he has potential

very high level, Naoya Inoue is a top p4p fighter. I don't have high hopes for Takei in boxing. he's switching over too late in life and the divisions he'd be competing in are extremely competitive.

He is only 24, if he has career longevity he could be an elite boxer, especially considering he is clearly athletic and driven.

What do you all think of Tenshin vs Kumandoi?

Also what weight did they last fight at?

 

[GreenGorilla]

Interesting to see Minoru is still fighting, I wouldn't have blamed him if he retired after that freak KO against Crazy Horse.

Should be very exciting for as long as Kumandoi can hang in there

Would have preferred it more if Kumandoi did not need to spend the whole pre fight camp quarantined instead of training. He is already at huge disadvantage it being his first kickboxing bout.

Based on the interviews of other Thai fighters fighting in Japan during Covid, they had no place to train. One had to sneak into a parking lot to do pad work.

At least he gets paid? Hopefully. Good name for Tenshin to add to his resume.

K1 tournaments in Japan in the 2000s were the best...
