Amazing Boy-Extraordinary Man<\/strong><\/h3>\n

By James Blears<\/em><\/p>\n

Hard hitting World Boxing Council light flyweight champion Kenshiro \u201cAmazing Boy\u201d Teraji (22-1, 14 KO\u2019s) seeks a late birthday present, with his voluntary defense which is his fourth during his second reign as supremo, against former champion Carlos Canizales (26-1-1, 19 KO\u2019s) on January 23rd<\/sup> in the Edion Arena, Osaka Japan.<\/p>\n

It\u2019ll be Kenshiro\u2019s fifteenth title fight. He modestly celebrated his thirty second birthday on January 6th<\/sup>, having matured into one of the finest and most dedicated WBC Champions. Both WBC and WBA champion he was to face WBO champion Jonathan \u201cBomba\u201d Gonzalez in April last year. But Jonathan had to withdraw due to illness. Hopefully it\u2019ll happen somewhere and sometime down the road during this year.<\/p>\n

Determined to stay busy Kenshiro fought late replacement Antony Olascuaga who he dispatched in round nine via TKO. An even sterner test in September against wily and experienced former two division champion Hekkie Budler who he TKO\u2019d, also in the ninth.<\/p>\n

Kenshiro\u2019s only hiccough which abruptly ended his first reign transpired when he fell to compatriot Masamichi Yabuki via a tenth round TKO. He stumbled and failed in his ninth defense, by returning too soon, after suffering from a weakening bout of covid. But he avenged that defeat by KO\u2019ing Masamichi during the third round of their rematch. Then as champion once again, three successful defences, all by TKO. He\u2019s a formidable force to be reckoned with.<\/p>\n

Next up is Canizales who\u2019s the Pride of Caracas. It\u2019s a voluntary WBC defense for Kenshiro and a mandatory for his WBA version. Standing five feet three inches tall, Carlos is two inches shorter than Kenshiro, yet his sixty four and a half inches reach is half an inch more than the champion\u2019s wingspan.<\/p>\n

A road warrior, Carlos is no stranger to Japan, which always welcomes challengers in a courteous, cordial and respectful way. He travelled there to win the vacant WBA champion Ryoichi Taguchi via a UD. Then successful defenses in Kuala Lumpur and China.<\/p>\n

It all then came unstuck and crashing down in Mexico City with a surprise defeat at the hands of tall rangy Esteban Bermudez via a sixth round TKO. Up to that point Carlos, was undefeated, but hadn\u2019t fought in two years and the ring rust was evident. Carlos, who was giving away four inch in height came steaming forward throwing plenty of leather, only to be met with long stiff jabs and shuddering effective counters.<\/p>\n

In round six he was put down with a jarring, looping right hand and barely beat the count. An even harder right hand put on back on the canvass and this time he was in no condition to continue.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s made amends since then with a fourth round KO of Ganigan Lopez and an eight round TD victory over previously undefeated Daniel Matellon, which was a WBA eliminator. A clash of heads in round two resulted in a deep jagged gash over Carlos\u2019s left eye, which worsened so it went to the score cards.<\/p>\n

Carlos is a worthy challenger with a powerful 73.08 KO ratio. Kenshiro\u2019s KO rate is 63.64 percent. Kenshiro is fully away of this heavy artillery potential and accordingly he\u2019ll be taking as much care of defending himself at all times, mixed in with a nicely tempered offense. He\u2019s fast and chooses punches selectively, gracefully moving in with lightning flurries and then deftly steeping aside to avoid incoming, while momentarily surveying his handiwork. He tends to hold his hands low and relies on his reflexes to defend himself.<\/p>\n

A fight against a former champion who always retains that champion\u2019s will to win, is no cake walk. Icing has to be applied with aplomb plus flourishes. Carlos is two years younger than Kenshiro, but this might well be his last tilt at maximum glory.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s fully aware of this and is sure to go for broke. Kenshiro, who is known for his beaming smile and affable personality outside ring hours business, is poker faced focused when the opening bell tolls. He\u2019ll be looking to reinforce and better an already remarkable career, via batter. He\u2019s determined to achieve more successful defenses but is seasoned enough to focus on the task at hand, ahead.<\/p>\n

Both hit very hard for this division and while it lasts it\u2019s likely to be a veritable slugfest.<\/p>\n
