Japan's combat sports are more MMA and K1.

not for a while man. those shows were more spectacles that happen a few times a year (not as much anymore), boxing is still a pretty big deal over there, especially with the reemergence of japanese champs. when pride and k-1 were at their height, they still got beat out by the kameda brothers in ratings.

i noticethe mma shows are big events that are glitzy and flashy, but only happen every so often. the boxing events are more subtle, but happen on a very regular basis and have a constant fan base. plus japan has a lot of boxing stables, that have been around for quite some time.

err yes you can. I got my Winning gloves for 70 pounds plus with a 20 per cent discount as my friend works out in japan. So yes....you can get it cheap. Thats your problem you looked at websites not actually going over there.

I'm moving to Sapporo year after next and I was wondering if there was anyone who knew much about Japans boxing scene. Thanks!

Hozumi Hasegawa and Takahiro Aoh are both pretty nice as far as ive seen, Hozumi is the guy that should really come to America to beat up on some americans
