Adrian Hernandez vs. Atsushi Kakutani: Preview and Prediction for Title Fight
Aug 7th 2013, 00:30, by Briggs Seekins

On August 31 in Mexico City, WBC light flyweight champion Adrian Hernandez will face challenger Atsushi Kakutani of Japan. Hernandez is among the top fighters in the world below 112 pounds. The Ring ranks him No. 5 at light flyweight, and Boxrec.com has him No. 2.

The fighters in the lowest weight classes hardly ever get the attention they deserve. But the fans in fight-crazy Mexico know how to appreciate a smaller warrior, and the Asia-Pacific region where Kakutani comes from is traditionally very strong in the lowest weight classes.

A nice showing by Hernandez in this fight could lead to a very exciting showdown with pound-for-pound entrant and WBA light flyweight champion Roman Gonzalez of Nicaragua.
