Hello Pro Strikers! Akihiro Kaneko is a rising star in the world of kickboxing, and has been a much requested breakdown.
Kaneko has quickly made a name for himself in the highly competitive sport of kickboxing. Fighting in the flyweight division, a division known more for fighters with speed and technical proficiency over once punch knockout power, Kaneko brings the best of both! He not only has solid fundamentals, but the ability to change a fight with one shot! Due the exciting nature of his style he has become a prominent figure in the K-1 organization in a short amount of time picking up the K-1 super bantamweight world title.
Kaneko might just be one of the best fighters in the world. His technique is almost flawless, he's defensively sound, and he possess one punch knockout power!
Let me know what you think in the comments below!
#bigfrog #akihiro #kanako #prostriking
goddamn you finally got to him hahaha. looking forward to the masashi kumura one. if you're really interested in the weight class that kaneko fights in theres masashi kumura, shiro and masahiko suzuki who can be considered the current 4 kings of the 55kg division.
in my mind, an interesting fight to make would be di bella vs kaneko, but unfortunately ONE FC is trying to emulate the UFC
No Koki Osaki mention ?🤨
Haha, ye, and it was a treat! He's such a good fighter. I genuinely learn a lot about the sport through the quality comments I get on the channel, so I appreciate you guys that write sensible shit.
Ye one fc are a love hate for me. They have some fantastic fighters and I genuinely enjoy the 4oz muay thai but they shelve their fighters and match their favourites so its very frustrating to follow. It's a bad sign when their champions like chingiz want to go elsewhere!
@@someboi4903 could be argued to be on the same level as masahiko suzuki but suzuki's kinda fallen at this point so idk how good that win he got over suzuki was.
@@prostriking really love the channel. if you really want to build it up further you can do a McGregor breakdown video and the a Michael Chandler one, followed by a previewed breakdown of their fight through the use of video footage.
His distance management/control is so precise and clean
I was just about to comment something like "another fighter who'd make for a great study would be Masaaki Noiri" then looked to see I missed it and you were already well ahead of me LOL. Anyways, great breakdown as always.
Also looking forward to a Masashi Kumura one! Although he lost to Kaneko in their last fight, I think he improved a lot in his most recent showing against Cecchetti
I'll definitely be getting around to Kumuru! He's brilliant so appreciate the comment
@@prostrikingcurrently watching their fight
Bro is too fast andh have good techniques
Please do Kazuki Osaki as well! Another tremendous fighter with a beautiful style!
just discovered this channel, it seems awesome
Learn so much from watching his fights
thanks for introducing me to him
crazy explosive
Would love to see him in ONE
HE ACTUALLY DID IT RAAAHHH
Hahaha gotta give the people what they want!
@@prostrikingtoki tamari next?
Could you do a video on Toki Tamaru ?
His boxing is really good
A breakdown of Philip minoru kimura would also be fun
can you break down toki tamaru
Plz do a vid on probably the best muay thai fighter in the world khunsueklek 🙏🙏
big frog
Best nickname ever 😂🙌
big frog
big frog 😂
Could u make a video on yuki egawa please
toki tamaru pls 🙏🏽
NZ has some underated fighters. Its a shame we are stingey & only show fights on subscription platforms. Csn is one if you're interested.
I think I'm going to a brad Riddell kickboxing vid on how he schools much taller fighters. Definitely a lot of room for NZ kickboxing here 😄👊🙏
I like chingiz but thanks for introducing me to this guy
Ye I think Chingiz is my favourite too, I think I'll do another breakdown on him that's more up to date. The 70kg division just has the better names!
Just wait until Kumura puts the jorts back on. The frog is done
He should go to one fc or rizin and fight with smaller gloves!
6:49 are those eyeliner stains on his shoulder? 😂
k1 makes their fighters cover up their tattoos. thats why there are marks on his arms
He looks bigger than all his opponents
Kaito Ono would be another good Japanese kickboxer to cover.
His boxing is great could be verywell translate to boxing just like most japanese kickboxers
He doesn’t seem to kick alot. It’s crazy how hand heavy Japanese kickboxing is. I find that strange given the traditional forms of martial arts don’t emphasize punching all that much.
I think it sorta makes sense given how Japanese fighters have been doing in boxing.
Ye a lot of them.have transitioned really over to boxing. It's a shame the money is so much better in boxing and we can't see them do more in K1!
tenshin nasukawa would sleep him.
Andy Ristie was an absolute treat to watch back in the day
He really was! I loved that era in glory. Some of those 4 man tournaments were class.
Japanese is taking over boxing.
No not at all lol
Akihiro kaneko, masashi kumura and Takumin terada are my go to fighters rn🔥🔥
Has he fought any of the Thailand Champs yet? Lol
He's beaten a lumpinee champion
Pair him with Chingiz Alisov 😊
two different weight classes kaneko too small
He is using a boxing stance simple
Simples!
May god keep my opponent away from your channel ameen
Haha I hope so too! 😂🙏❤️
The Japanese have good talent in Kickboxing, the problem is that most of them only fight in Japan against Japanese people and not in leagues like One Champions where they have the best in the world
Exactly
Almost all of his fights are with other Japanese. To me, that means he's unproven. To be world class you need to fight people all over the globe.
That’s a bias opinion cuz an American fighter mainly fights American fighters some of other nationalities that are in America it’s rare for an American to fight someone foreign
He has a win against Kompetch, a former Lumpinee champ who managed to win against Masashi Kumura
@@daveionclark9976 I don't think it's biased. An "American" is very different than a Japanese. A Japanese look like other Japanese. An American can look like anything and from anywhere. Americans are much more physically and mentally diverse than Japanese. All I am saying is he's only fought mostly "one kind" of people and that's not enough for me to say he's great.
@@someboi4903 Yes, I can see his record. It's one guy. Not enough for me to say he's great.
Japanese kickboxing is pretty high level
Kaneko or Tenshin!?
It's hard to say! I think tenshin is faster and probably a little slicker with his boxing, he has an excellent jab, but Kaneko can seriously crack, is tough as nails, and has textbook defense! Who'd you pick?
@@prostriking With kickboxing rule set , probably Tenshin but he tends to fade in the later rounds. If it was a 5 round fight , I think I will give it to Kaneko due to his power and durability. I notice Tenshin likes to make excuses often in the later rounds whenever something happens. Really looks to the ref for help sometimes in my opinion. I hope to see Tenshin back in the ring again soon but Kaneko is my current favorite out of the K1 brackets in Japan
@@beedt714 Both of them aren't good.
Kaneko lost to Kompetch while Tenshin was stopped by Suakim and Rodtang.
@@joerogue231 when the hell did tenshin get stopped by suakim and rodtang ?
@@beedt714 He got kneed in the head in round 3 by Suakim in their first fight and needed 30 seconds to recover.
He got kneed in the stomach by Rodtang in round 4 and pretended that it was a low blow, he also needed 30 seconds to recover.
Those are KO losses from Tenshin but of course the ref helps him.
