Although not Japanese, due to circumstances making him a relatively known to the Japanese boxing fans actually put him in a good situation in getting better money given that the lighter weights are all going through Japan for money these days. Being buddies with Nakatani is also nice to watch.
Out of the two-day, seven titlefight card in Tokyo this month, his fight is the only one without a Japanese fighter involved in atleast one side.
The kid has speed , power , skill , quick reflexes and charisma.
In a sense I compare Olascuaga to Gervonta Davis.
Both are Explosive punchers.
I know you are talking about boxing styles, but the aspect of comparing a guy who had the balls to fight an unified titlist and number one guy in the division on his 6th professional fight then got a belt on his 8th fight and immediately defending against a formidable mandatory opponent to the guy who's been protected for over a decade is a slap on the face to Olascuaga...
