 | Age: 19 Height: 167cm Weight: 56kg Original Hometown: Nagoya Current Hometown: Tokyo Draft: 2nd Round: 1st Pick (31st Overall) IBLJ Draft of 2168 Gym: Victory Gym Bio: Ayane is a talented young boxer from relatively unknown origins. She started boxing relatively late at the age of 14, and quickly became a rising star in her hometown. Although she was very talented and won many fights as an amateur, she flew under many people's radar simply because her hometown of Nagoya isn't known for producing many pro boxing prospects. However, her first and only year of college proved to be a phenomenal year for her, when she ended up leading her college boxing team to their first national tournament. With Ayane as the headline, the team, made it all the way to the semi-finals, but was unfortunately unsuccessful against a much larger college's team. Despite the team losing, Ayane individually, impressed many IBLJ scouts and she was recommended to declare for the IBLJ draft. Ayane, to her surprise, was drafted in the 2nd Round of the IBLJ draft of 2168 by Victory Gym, the same gym that drafted Masanobu Shino frist overall. Ayane now, hopes to make her mark in the IBLJ and dreams of being one of the best someday. She knows she has a lot of work to do but she's up to the challenge. Personality: Ayane is a very cheerful young woman who is very friendly and outgoing. She is not always super expressive, but you rarely see her without a smile on her face. She is mostly an optimist, but she is also realistic and rational. She is caring and giving person and is always willing to help anyone in need, though she does occasionally refuse to help those that won't help themselves. She is a multi-faceted person and has many interests, in addition to being very smart. Overall, Ayane is a very nice, strong and independent young woman. Does she have what it takes to be a champion? Only time will tell. Boxing Style: Ayane, is primarily an out-boxer. She prefers to keep her distance and avoids in-fighting a lot. She is a relatively low volume puncher, carefully, picking when to attack and how. Her speed is average, and her power is also average. Her height is slightly above average, so she matches up well heightwise. Her defense is good but not great, and can improve a little. Her greatest weapon is her jab, which she uses amply and consistently, which keeps her opponents at a distance and disrupts their rhythm. Right now, Ayane is a very good boxer, she just isn't very versatile, but she is young and can still add things to her style. |
