December 31st 2008-Sun Plaza Hall, Hiroshima, Hiroshima, Japan Takefumi Sakata (33-4, 15) Vs Denkaosan Kaovichit (45-1-1, 19) II It's fair to say that 2007 was a memorable year in the career of Japanese Takefumi Sakata. The Japanese fighter finally claimed a world title, stopping Lorenzo Parra in what was their 3rd meeting, avenging a couple of close defeats, avenging a loss to Roberto Vasquez and fighting to a draw with Denkaosan Kaovichit. At the end of the following year he faced Kaovichit in a rematch. Coming in to this one Sakata was hoping to record the 5th defense of his title. March 19th 2007- Korakuen Hall, Tokyo, Japan Takefumi Sakata (29-4-1, 14) Vs Lorenzo Parra (28-0, 17) III Rivalries in boxing are great and it's fair to say that the rivalry between Japan's Takefumi Sakata and Venezuela's Lorenzo Parra was certainly a good one with the men meeting 3 times in less than 3 years. The first two bouts saw Parra retaining his title by razor thin majority decision and although the set backs certainly were hard for Sakata though the Japanese fighter refused to give up and in and took on the then WBA Flyweight champion for the third time, with Parra returning to the ring after more than a year of inactivity. |
