Hakeem if you would read my posts properly you would know that i already adressed the issue with cornering an out boxer and Sendou's strenghts.

The only thing i missed was the stamina thing and diffrence in taking hits.

I'm still not saying that it would be an easy victory for Itagaki but i am saying that he might stand a chance. With you it sounds like Itagaki would get owned in the first round.

One more thing, How can you actually think that Sendou and Ippo are at the same level right now? Sendou has been injured for close to a year while Ippo has refined his fighting alot. They are not at the same level anymore. It would be impossible for Sendou to make up for that one year diffrence in just a few months.
