Entertaining fight with very good activity provided by both contenders. Tanaka is a good technical boxer who moves with proficiency in the ring changing angles quite often in spite of his low experience as professional. He is accurate, with reasonable punching power but not as fast as I was expecting to see for this division. It was a win well deserved since his rival in accordance with his record was a good level of competition at this stage of Tanakas’s career.
