Unbeaten Featherweight contender Josh Warrington looks to have his hands full this weekend against Hisashi Amagasa. Warrington isn’t known for his power, but often handily grinds them down courtesy of a vicious, all-action style. But will it be enough to deal with Japan’s rugged, powerful Amagasa, the man who knocked down Cuban standout Guillermo Rigondeaux twice in December 2014. There’s plenty to consider going into this 12 round headliner, so let’s crack straight into the Warrington vs Amagasa numbers.
