December 31st 2012- Ota-City General Gymnasium, Tokyo, Japan Yota Sato (25-2-1, 12) Vs Ryo Akaho (19-0-2, 12) In 2012 we saw all-Japan fight for the WBC Super Flyweight title as defending champion, the slippery Yota Sato, defended his belt against the crude but unbeaten Ryo Akaho. Since this bout Sato has retired whilst Akaho looks to be getting a shot at a Bantamweight title later in the year. (Video courtesy of sweetboxing7) In 2013 we saw one man come from relatively nowhere to become one of the most must watch Super Flyweights on the planet, and he did it in way that nothing short of amazing as he didn't just beat a world champion in his perceived prime but destroyed him and forced him into retirement. That man was Srisaket Sor Rungvisai who thoroughly beat up Japan's Yota Sato, himself an accomplished and talented fighter who had actually won the belt by beating Srisaket's friend and stablemate Suriyan Sor Rungvisai. Srisaket came in to the bout as a real unknown outside of the Thai scene though ended the bout as a man we, and we assume many others, were dying to see again. Strangely we got to see him a lot in the following months, in fact he won 4 bouts in the following 6 months including a title defense against Hirofumi Mukai. |
