How is “Jap” a racial slur when all it is an abbreviation of “Japanese”? It’s like saying calling someone a “Brit” is racist.

Look it up and educate yourself, it has a long history.

I want to say Brian “All Business” Norman is a boxer with pretty much a complete package, he was in with a strong puncher with loads of heart but not much else, and Brian stayed relaxed, composed and delivered each round. He took calculated risk and punched hard and often enough to win and dictate each round but more importantly is his composure at his age with development still approaching. I didn’t think much of his dad yelling and shouting in the camera, he was a bit out of place as a head trainer, so calm yo ass down next time and let the work dictate. Brian has lots of new fans!

It looked like the easiest fight of his life.
Didn't even switch gears or anything.
Reminds me of Bud total domination over Spence.
Except this japanese was out cold on the canvas.

After Pac whoops Barrios, bring on Norman Jr

A lot of good stuff from Norman including a devastating 1 punch KO.

He had the right opponent in front of him that came straight in with no head movement or feints, Norman could not miss. Sasaki head was over his left foot with no movement. It was target practice for Norman and is what he should do with an opponent with this caliber.

Excellent work by Mr. Norman . I like how he stayed calm and defensively responsible for the most part. I was saying to myself in the previous round to the KO that the Referee might need to save Sasaki from himself soon. I was also wondering if he was ever going to notice the low blows from Sasaki , or get around to at least issuing a final warning for using his head. It was a spectacular KO , I am glad that the guy is ok.
So , what does Norman do now ? Hope that Pacquiao beats Barrios and go for the big money fight would be my guess.

Sasaki had minor success when going to the body, I wonder if boots noticed, but boots has a history of avoiding smoke, make this fight happen immediately.

Boots is gone. He's at 154 now.

I would've thrown the towel around round 3 or 4. There was no point going further.

I'm one of the few people that agree with Stanionis corner stopping the fight
Everyone complained about the early stoppage back then

But there's only a handful of people that ever won a world title after getting knocked out cold the way Sasaki went.
Sasaki's chances are statistically gone after that.
You're just not the same fighter after a KO loss.

That was a BEAUTIFUL KO...I don't know who looked more perfectly laid out in the centre of the ring...Sasaki or Hatton.

It was not in the centre of the ring , but this was one is also a classic ......

Yep, my thoughts exactly.
I was expecting the ref to jump in and stop it. Sasaki was essentially out on his feet and absorbing too many hard and unanswered punches.
Also disappointed Sasaki's corner didn't end it.
