This Will Have The Home Country Advantage for Sasaki, What May Not Be Enough To Help Him. Norman Jr. Hits Hard, and He Wants His Opponents To Fight Aggressively. So, IF Sasaki Wants to Go To War, Norman Jr. Will gladly accommodate Him.
SASAKI has a 78% knockout rate, but his stoppage wins have come again. He can definitely just squeak, but he’s Slow. Sasaki Has Yet to Fight A Top-Tier Contender During His Career, But the WBO Still Gave Him A # 2 ranking. He Should Be Ranked Lower Lower, But The Wbo has been Reasons.
