September 1st 2012- Sumiyoshi SportsCenter, Osaka, Osaka, Japan Cyborg Nawatedani (1-2-1, 1) Vs Shunpei Ito (2-5, 1) In the west we see fans write fighters off after an early career defeat or two. In Japan however those losses are seen as part of a fighters development and although Cyborg Nawatedani lost 2 of his first 4 bouts, including a defeat to Shohei Omori, he has since proven to be a capable prospect with several notable wins. As part of his rebuilding process Nawatedani battled in this contest against Shunpei Ito on the under-card of Nobuo Nashiro's WBA Super Flyweight title bout against Tepparith Kokietgym.
