I do not know if the Japanese boxing judges has changed or the commission does not tolerate such a sided decision regardless of the boxing performance, but in previous years Japanese judges have been known to side with their boxers , so for the visiting boxer to win, he has to knock out his Japanese opponent. It is good to have judges that are not Japanese, at least if this guy had not bought, the decision might seen as fair.
Honestly, I have no confidence that Jerwin Ancajas will win this fight. He was been cracked by Fernando Martinez twice and his win in his previous fight won't count because he faced a player that has little resistance to punches (16 losses 7 of them kissing the canvas).
But you have to understand that when he fought Martinez, he already had problems with his weight, he has outgrown that division already and we can say the Martinez is a great boxer as well.
Then he has to get that cherry pick up when he goes up in weight, to bring back his confidence and so Ancajas win via KO.
We will find out if Ancajas is still a champion by heart. He lose his belt in another division, now he is in bantamweight which I believe he has no problem with the weight and he is more powerful here. Inoue isn't really a KO artist, so there's nothing to worry here, unless Ancajas will allow himself to get outbox by the champion which obviously would result to a unanimous decision victory by the home fighter.
That's what I'm saying, he has beaten in the lower division and the "excuse" is that he can't no longer make the weight. He move up, face a so-so fighter and win convincingly. Then he was given another opportunity to fight and so here is Ancajas.
Yes, we call him a live dog, and as what other fans says, it's a great and very appealing odds for us.
And we can just wait and watch the game live and hope that Ancajas can pull that biggest upset again and regain his status and then carry again the Philippine flag.
