The Australian's task demands total focus.  The fight presents a contrast of styles: Nicolson’s tactical finesse and distance management pitted against Yoshida’s relentless drive, bravery and punch volume. The card in Texas promises to keep fans on the edge of their seats from the opening bell to the very end.
