This is a sort of an idiosyncratic phenomenon in the realm of boxing?, cause there has not been any Asian boxers prevailing in such a heavy wt. fight in the history or a truly unprecedented one!; it's been almost always Asian boxers dominating only in the lighter wt class like Naoya Inoue, Pacquiao, etc. Thanks to his giant physique, 6'6" w/ almost 260 pound, & that athletic talent he was born w/ PLUS the skills his American coaches provided in Las Vegas, now there exists a strong probability that he may well be a next legitimate heavy wt World Champion, the first Asian ever, but his age of 40 would be a serious adversary negative factor for him. Regardless of what the outcome will be, I must confess I can't help being impressed w/ his skill & power in spite of his age of nearly 40!!, i.e., that persistent, ballistic missile-like (L) straight followed by a blazing fast stabbing (R) hook! Thanks for reading my lengthy comment in anticipation. (03/07/24)
