Mona Kimura Just Got ROASTED by her Division's Champion
"Mona Kimura Just Got ROASTED by her Division's Champion" is the one new video on FTC Boxing, the channel that calls itself We're From The Corner, and it picks up a story the channel has been telling for weeks. The champion in question is SAHO, who holds the K-1 women's flyweight title at 52kg. Asked about Kimura in an interview, she called her a "burikko", Japanese for someone who acts artificially cute, and, by the description's account, said other women in the fight community had asked her to make Kimura shut up.
The comments took it the way fight fans usually take trash talk. Many read jealousy into it, others suspect the champion is quietly building up a future bout, and one viewer points out that Kimura is far from a one-stance kicker, with a solid boxing base behind the flashy stuff. The Street Fighter jokes have followed her here too: if Kimura is Chun-Li, a few people would like to see her meet Akuma.
The new upload passed 120,000 views in its first sixteen hours, but the bigger numbers still belong to the fight that started all this. "Mona Kimura Was STUNNED... Then This Happened", her extra-round unanimous decision over former Savate world champion Marine Nicol at K-1 WORLD MAX 2026, is nearing three million views at 19 days old and still pulls in a steady crowd every day. A nine-day-old matchmaking video pitching ONE Championship's Duangdawnoi "Little Star" Looksaikongdin as her ideal opponent follows close behind.
The channel as a whole ran a little below its usual pace, adding about a thousand subscribers. Among combat sports channels its size, it sits in the middle of the group for views gained. The Undertaker channel had the busiest week and was the only one running above its normal level.
