    Who wins this barburner of a fight at bantamweight? This would have been a wild one.

    Damn! Great action fight. I'd go with McCullough by decision in a war, but it'd be close.

    When I lived in Japan (1996-1999) Tatsuyoshi was very popular there. I never realized why. His record certainly wasn't better than most Japanese champions. But everyone loved Tatsuyoshi.

    He was all-action that's why.

    Quality wise, he was nowhere near the level of a Harada, Inoue, or Watanabe.

    This fight was a great one. Joichiro lost a close decision to Yakushiji, who would end up fighting and losing to Wayne McCullough a year later. It was such a missed opportunity to not have Tatsuyoshi vs McCullough happen.
