To Save Japanese Boxing World

　Yoshihiro Kamegai, a professional boxer, is the most likely candidate to next Japanese world champion in professional boxing world that rang a gong with 10 counts on former WBA right-weight champion Jose Alfaro 6 days ago.

　He named himself “MAESTRITO” as the nickname. MAESTRITO is Spanish word means “Small professor” that meaning show his principle which “a defense is first rather than offense”. He is not white feather, but stresses “perfect defense makes perfect offense”. He has shown his principal in his professional career so far. He fended Alfaro’s swings by a hair and immediately punched the Nicaraguan through inside and outside. That quicker transition made the spectators excited and the spectators would follow him until he will be a world champion.

　His skillful tips had basically developed his amateur career that brought a triple crown in Japanese amateur boxing competition. Looking over other sport categories, broad amateur population and competitive unprofessional competition are a fundamental background of producing professional players who flourish globally.

　However, Japan’s that structure of Boxing is hopelessly poor. Japanese amateur boxers have ranked lower position in several Asian amateur boxing competitions, of course no one won a medal in Olympics two to three decades. Kamegai’s attraction and prospective make an appeal that the Japanese Amateur Boxing Association have to rebuild, more properly word, build a reinforcement strategy for saving Japanese boxing.
