Pumicpic and Watanabe make weight for Hajime No Ippo tournament semi final
Tomorrow fight fans will get the semi finals of the Hajime No Ippo 30th anniversary tournament.
One of those semi-finals will see talented Filipino Richard Pumicpic (21-10-2, 6) clashing with local fighter Daisuke Watanabe (9-4-2, 6) [渡部大介] in a mouth watering match up.
Today the two men weighed in for their bout and on the scales the Filipino was bang on the 126lbs limit, whilst Watanabe was 125.75lbs.
The bout will see Watanabe looking to build some momentum following his sloppy technical draw against Koshin Takeshima in their quarter final bout whilst Pumicpic will be fighting for the first time in the tournament after getting a bye in the first stage of the tournament.
For fans who haven't yet purchased a ticket, or those outside of Japan, the bout will be shown live on subscription service Boxing Raise.
