Tokyo, Japan Earlier today in Japan saw Ohashi put on a show at the Korakuen Hall. The show wasn't a major one, but it did feature a very notabke main event a couple of interesting support bouts. In the main event we saw the very highly touted Takuma Inoue (5-0, 1) claim his first title as he won the OPBF Super Flyweight title, previously vacated by stablemate Ryo Matsumoto, with a clear decision win over experienced Filipino Mark Anthony Geraldo (31-6-3, 14). The fight started amazingly well for Inoue who was in complete control after 8 round, though laxed off a bit late on and allowed the card to close up in the latter stages. Although the win was a clear for the Japanese 19 year old he will likely know there is still a lot to learn about the sport, and he also won't have been happy to have suffered his first knockdown, albeit a very flash one in the final round. The main support bout saw world ranked Super Flyweight Go Onaga (25-2-2, 18) score a 7th round TKO win over domestic foe Masafumi Otake (14-14-3, 7). From what we understand Onaga is interested in the winner of the upcoming IBF Super Flyweight world title fight and may well travel to face the winner of that bout later in the year. Another notable supporting bout saw the promising Kenichi Miyazaki (9-1-1, 2) take a clear 8 round decision win over Kazuhiro Nakamura (9-6, 3). This was Miyazaki's 4th straight win since suffering his sole loss and it seems like he has put that behind him and is climbing the ranks pretty well now. For Nakamura this was his second loss in 3 bouts. On the under-card there was a trio of 4 round bouts. The only one of those that ended in a stoppage saw Reo Watanabe (2-0-1, 1) take a 4th round TKO win over Tomoki Akutsu (1-3). Another of the 4 rounders saw Naoki Koishi (3-2) take a unanimous decision win over Naoki Oura (2-2-1, 2) whilst the unbeaten Shuji Kato (2-0, 1) narrowly over-came Rasher Aoki (3-3, 1) with a had fought split decision.

Tokyo, Japan In recent years we've seen a tradition of big boxing shows on New Years Eve with TBS and TV Tokyo both putting on cards, which they are doing again this year. Thankfully however this year we got a bonus with Fui TV airing a special showcase of talent in an Ohashi promoted card on December 30th and the card really was something special. In fact it may well have decided the Fighter of the Year, the Performance of the Year, the Trainer of the Year, the Breakout fighter of the Year, and turned a Japanese 21 year old into the most spoken about man in boxing, at least for a day or two. It was a day where Mayweather, Pacquiao, Khan, Cotto and Canelo were forgotten names. Ducking was put on the back burner, and instead we got something that we all love, some special action in the ring. We'll start with main event from the show which saw Japanese superstar Naoya Inoue (8-0, 7) become an even bigger sensation than he already was. Earlier this year Inoue set a Japanese record for fewest fights to a world title, winning the WBC Light Flyweight world title in just his 6th professional bout. Today he set a world record for winning his second divisional world title in just his 8th professional bout, breaking the previous record of Paul Weir by a single fight. Not only did he claim a second divisional world title but he did it in amazing fashion brutalising Argentinian veteran Omar Andres Narvaez (43-2-2, 23) in just 2 rounds to claim the WBO Super Flyweight title. Narvaez had been a long standing champion, he had looked sensational in stopping the teak tough Hiroyuki Hisataka 16 months ago and looked great in clearly beating Felipe Orucuta, despite one ludicrous card, last time out. Inoue however man handled him dropping him twice in the opening round and twice again the in second with Narvaez staying down after the 4th knock down of the fight. With his win Inoue has effectively ripped up any "Fighter of the Year" awards and stamped himself as the most impressive fighter this year. Naoya Inoue wasn't the only Inoue to win on the show and his younger brother, Takuma Inoue (4-0, 1), did the same as he schooled Omar's younger brother Nestor Daniel Narvaes (20-3-2-1, 9). Narvaes had previously pushed Toshiyuki Igarashi close in a WBC Flyweight bout but was made to look slow, clumsy and off balance a lot here was Inoue used sensational speed to make him look very poor. Although we know Naoya is already a star it's fair to say that Takuma may well be one himself in a year's time. Another Ohashi Gym youngster who picked up a win was Ryo Matsumoto (13-0, 11) who claimed the OPBF Super Flyweight title with a dominant win over Rusalee Samor (25-6-2, 11). For much of the fight Matsumoto was happy to go through the motions and just pick off Samor with accurate rangy shots though when he choose to pick up the pace later on he really started to put a beating on the tough Samor who was eventually stopped in the 12th round. Unfortunately it wasn't a clean sweep for Ohashi as the amazingly popular Akira Yaegashi (20-5, 10) was unable to claim the WBC Light Flyweight title. Yaegashi put up a brave effort but was unable to over-come the very talented Pedro Guevara (24-1-1, 16) who finished the bout with a body shot that left Yaegashi in agony and his career on the rocks. We suspect this could be the end for the popular Japanese warrior, who also lost last time out to Roman Gonzalez. We love Yaegashi here and it's not fun to watch him taking any more damage and we hope that, at the very least, he takes some time to rest his body considering the hard and damaging fights he has had in his great career which has seen him winning world titles at both Minimumweight and Flyweight. As well as the 4 Ohashi Gym fighters in action there was also two Teiken fighters, further solidifying the working relationship between the two promoters. The first of these was Jorge Linares (38-3, 25) who scored a 4th round KO of Mexico's Javier Prieto (24-8-2, 18) to claim the WBC Lightweight title and become a 3-weight world champion. The performance was solid without being spectacular and it seemed clear that Linares was worried about Prieto's power and wild swings though managed to take advantage of Prieto's flaws, as he did when he landed the KO blow, a hard right hand around the ear. The other Teiken fighter was Ryota Murata (6-0, 4) who put on a dominant performance but a frustrating and odd one as he clearly beat American fighter Jessie Nicklow (24-5-3, 8). For much of the bout Murata looked stronger, more powerful and more skilled, but he also looked disjointed and as if he was trying to get used to a new style. Gone was the intense pressure and inside fighting that had been a trademark of his amateur days and in it's place was boxing and movement, though it was never smooth boxing and instead it looked like Murata wasn't quite sure if he was doing what he was supposed to. Sadly for the Japanese Olympic champion his win was also marred by cuts suffered from headclashes. On the whole this may not have been the promotion of the year, but it wasn't far off and it was one of the best this year, one of the most exciting and one of the few Japanese cards that seemed to have a lot of interest from the west. Maybe, just maybe this and the shows tomorrow will help the wider boxing media take note of what is going on in Asia. If not it's the biggest over-sight in sport. (Image courtesy of boxingnews.jp) This past Friday was an amazing day of boxing in Asia with a number of major cards through Asia and a lot of very notable bouts. Tokyo, Japan Although there was 3 notable cards today there was only 1 standout card, the Ohashi promoted "The Fight" card in Tokyo. The card not only had the best fights on it but also the best prospects. The show, which had several televised bouts, began off TV with a number of bouts of varying levels. The least significant bout on the show saw Kazuki Sanpei (3-2, 1) score his first stoppage with a 2nd round TKO over fellow unknown novice Genji Ishida (1-4). The bout really was a preliminary bout but it was the only contest on the card that didn't excite us in one way or another. The first of the 5 significant bouts on the show saw Takuma Inoue (3-0, 1) score his first stoppage as he beat Thai debutant Chanachai Sor Siamchai (0-1) in 2 rounds. The contest was by far the easiest of Takuma's young career though it was still an impressive performance by the 18 year old who is tipped to go a very long way in the sport. It's a shame this bout was such a huge step backwards from his last fight, an 8 round decision win over Fahlan Sakkreerin Jr, though it seems likely that Inoue will take a big step up in his next bout with a possible title fight looming. Following Takuma Inoue's win fans then saw the highly touted Ryo Matsumoto (12-0, 10) blow away Thai veteran Denkaosan Kaovichit (63-5-1, 26). Kaovichit, a former Flyweight world champion and an interim world champion at Super Flyweight, was supposed to be a good test for Matsumoto though the touted Japanese fighter dropped the Thai in the opening round and then crumpled him in round 2 with a devastating body shot. After the fight it was strongly hinted that Matsumoto would be challenging for the Japanese Super Flyweight title currently held be fellow unbeaten prospect Sho Ishida. The first televised bout, at least in Japan, was a Middleweight contest between Olympic champion Ryota Murata (5-0, 4) and Mexico's Adrian Luna Flores (17-3-1, 11). The bout saw Murata score a clear 10 round decision over his Mexican foe though look less than impressive with serious questions be asked about his stamina late in the contest. The Mexican looked ready to go in round 10 though Murata was out of gas and had to coast the final round. The official cards were all in favour of Murata, 100-90, 99-91 and 98-92 though it's clear that he has a lot more work to do before stepping up to world level. After just 5 fights however no one will begrudge Murata more developmental fights. Murata's bout was followed, at the venue and on Japanese TV, by the first of two world title fights. This contest saw Japanese star Naoya Inoue (7-0, 6) in action defending his WBC Light Flyweight title against Thailand's limited but tough Samartlek Kokietgym (17-5, 5). Inoue was in control through out the bout though he looked more flawed than he had in his previous 6 bouts. Fighting with the intention of putting on a show Inoue neglected his defensive duties more often than not as he loaded up with big shots, devastating combinations and some very eye catching offence. At the end of the day however it was a clear case of Inoue trying to entertain the fans and post-fight he admitted that it was a "garbage fight", an honest admission from a young fighter who is chasing genuine greatness. Whilst it was a poor bout it was Inoue's final one at 108lbs and he's now going to be moving to Flyweight where bouts against Juan Francisco Estrada and Amnat Ruenroeng were both mooted. Another man who Inoue could fight is Roman Gonzalez (40-0, 34) who over-came Inoue's friend and stablemate Akira Yaegashi (20-4, 10) to claim the WBC Flyweight title in one of the best bouts of the year. The fight started slowly though quickly heated up with both Yaegashi and Gonzalez trading combinations through out the fight. Unfortunately for Yaegashi his warrior's mentality let him down in the end and he was eventually stopped after being dropped for the second time in the bout. Prior to the stoppage he had began to look exhausted and it was clear that he wasn't going to last the course against arguably the #1 offensive fighter in the sport. Unlike many fighters these two showed respect to each other before and after the bout knowing that the fight sold it's self on paper and didn't need hyping. In the ring both were warriors and both gave their all, though for Yaegashi he was simply up against a better warrior with bigger weapons. Nonthaburi, Thailand In Thailand fans got the chance to see a low profile show headlined by the very promising Teerachai Kratingdaenggym (27-0, 21) who retained his PABA Welterweight "super" title once again. Teerachai became the first fighter to stop Filipino Nelson Gulpe (8-3, 3) who has now lost 3 successive bouts though never has been bossed around as he was here. Sadly it's a shame that Teerachai still isn't stepping up when he has the potential to be so much more than he is showing. We understand there is a lack of Welterweights in the Orient though he needs to find someone better than Gulpe to fight next time out. Another prospect ready to step up is Eaktawan Mor Krungthepthonburi (5-0, 4) who continued his winning run with an easy stoppage over Indonesian visitor Gaspar Ampolo (2-25-2, 1). Eaktawan didn't look great but didn't really struggle struggle. Like Naoya Inoue however it seemed that Eaktawan ignored his defensive responsiblities in the aim of entertaining fans. A third bout on this show saw Inthanon Sithchamuang (23-7, 13) defeat the always game Indonesian journeyman Heri Amol (34-19-4, 14). Unfortunately for Amol this was his 5th straight loss and comes just a month after he was defeated by Japanese debutant Ken Shiro. Dubai In Dubai fans saw the international debut of ALA who took their "Pinoy Pride" shows on the road for the first time and saw their trio of fighters all come back with victories. The first of those Filipino's to notch up a victory was the popular Rey "Boom Boom" Bautista (36-3, 25) who took a 7th round technical decision over Juan Jose Martinez (19-2, 15). The fight was entertaining with both men loking for the knockout and although Bautista did score a knockdown in round 5 he was badly cut from a punch. The fight however came when the cut was worsened by a headclash that left the doctor with no decision but to take the fighters to the cards early where Bautista took a majority decision for the win. One of the two co-features saw the unbeaten Arthur Villanueva (26-0, 14) claim the IBF International Super Flyweight title with a very narrow split decision win over the heavy handed Henry Maldonado (19-4, 14). The bout, refereed by British veteran Mickey Vann, saw an amazing second round which featured a knockdown against Villanueva though again saw many questioning Villanueava's world class potential. On the back of this fight and Villanueva's narrow win over Fernando Aguilar we're starting to think that he's either not as good as advertised or really struggling at Super Flyweight. Whatever it is, something is going to stop "King Arthur" from reaching the heady heights expected of him. In the other co-feature we saw the ultra-talented Genesis Servania (25-0, 11) successfully retain WBO Inter-Continental Bantamweight title with a retirement victory over Jose Cabrera (22-5-2, 10). Cabrera had been dominated through out the early portion of the fight and had been dropped in round 2 and battered in rounds 3 and 4 though the bout swung in round 5 and Servania became hesitant after feeling the power of his Mexican foe. From round 8 the bout swung back in favour of the Filipino and Cabrera was eventually pulled between rounds 9 and 10 to give a relatively disappointing ending to the contest. Prior to the bouts with the Filipino star trio there was a trio of under-card bouts. One of these saw another Filipino, Larry Abarra (3-2-1, 2), take a decision victory over Thailand's limited Chatpayak Sithkopon Nuengkawkawhok (2-8, 1). Another of the undercard bouts saw Dubai based Ugandan Deo Kizito (1-0) take a very narrow decision win over the previously unbeaten Anusher Abdullaev (4-1, 4). The remaining bout was a 1-sided beat down as Mohammad Akram (2-0-1, 1) dominated Thailand's Kong Windy Sports (1-6) to record a 2nd round victory. Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso Another title fight took place in Burkina Faso as Filipino Silvester Lopez (22-8-2, 16) attempted to claim the WBC International Super Bantamweight title. Sadly for Lopez he suffered a wide loss to Alexis Boureima Kabore (23-1, 6). Lopez, now fighting way above the division that he first made his name, really is too small for Super Bantamweight and should be looking to move back down to Bantamweight, at the highest. Of course however he'll fight where opportunities arise. Lombardia, Italy In Italy fans saw the return to the ring of Japanese born European based Aniya Seki (25-3-2, 2) who took a decision over journey-woman Claudia Ferenci (8-36-5, 3). This was Seki's first bout following her stoppage loss to Judith Rodriguez a few months back and although Seki won here few will feel she will be a world champion before she calls it quits on a long career. (Image courtesy of boxingnews.jp) Again we've got to apologise for being extremely late to update results with it now being Thursday and we're only just putting up Sunday's results. This has been down to several small reasons that have all, unfortunately, occurred at once delaying a lot of things. Part of the problem was that there was simply so much action in Asia, 6 separate cards too place across Japan and South Korea meaning that it took a long time to get all the results. But, belatedly, here we go. Tokyo, Japan The biggest show of the weekend, not just in Asia but world wide was in Tokyo as the boxing world turned it's attention to a world title double head and a card dubbed "Ring of Diamonds" a show that was created to celebrated Ohashi Gym's 20th anniversary and show off some of their genuinely top tied fighters. It was a show that a super show and one that deserved to mass attention it got. The main attraction was of course young superstar Naoya Inoue (6-0, 5) who continued his climb to the top of the boxing world with a breath taking performance against the defending WBC Light Flyweight champion Adrian Hernandez (29-3-1, 18). Although he was the betting favourite few would have expected Inoue to do what he did. Firstly he out boxed Hernandez for 4 rounds, then he outfought Hernandez for 2 rounds scoring a 6th round stoppage despite suffering from some issues with his leg. The stoppage was brutal and the result was sensational. Inoue wasn't the only man in a world title fight and in the shows other world title bout saw Akira Yaegashi (20-3, 10) successfully defend his WBC Flyweight title fight with a nasty stoppage of game challenger Odilon Zaleta (15-4, 8). The performance from Yaegashi was less than stellar though tactically Zaleta had the style to give the Japanese fighter some real issues at times. In the end though Yaegashi had enough in his locked to over-come a poor start and stop the challenger in 9 rounds. Yaegashi's victory helped set up a fight with Nicaraguan sensation Roman Gonzalez (39-0, 33) who himself scored a victory on the card beating the over-matched Juan Purisima (11-5-1, 4) in the shows only out-and-out mismatch. It wasn't a fair fight but it was a bout that was there to show case Gonzalez and have him in the venue to "publicly" challenger Yaegashi something he did after Yaegashi's title defense. One of the most competitive bouts on the show saw Satoshi Hosono (25-2-1, 19) defend on his "bazooka" like power to over-come the previously unbeaten Yuki Ogata (19-1-1, 3) to claim the Japanese Featherweight title. Ogata had gotten much the better of the fight before Hosono managed to land a bomb in round 10 to keep his world title dreams alive. Despite the loss we genuinely believe that Ogata will "come again" an is likely a future Japanese champion in the making, though from the skills he showed he does have the potential to win an OPBF title, he just needs more experience over 10 rounds. Further down the card their was chances to shine for two talented young, unbeaten Japanese prospects. These saw Ryo Matsumoto (10-0, 8) over-come tough former world title challenger Hiroyuki Hisataka (22-12-1, 10) in a valuable 8 round contest. It was, easily, the hardest bout of Matsumoto's career though it certainly helped his development and showed that he has the talent and ability to become a world champion even if he's not yet ready. Strangely we can't say that Takuma Inoue (2-0) despite his lack of experience, isn't ready. He was also on the show and completely dominated the top 5 ranked Fahlan Sakkreerin Jr (23-3, 15) in one of the most out standing performances by such a novice. Prior to the 6 fights above there was 2 Rookie if the year Qualifying bouts. These saw Shingo Iijima (4-1-1, 1) take a decision over the previously unbeaten Masahito Oki (2-1, 2) and the debuting Shin Tomitaka (1-0) over-came Takahiro Yamanishi (1-2). Fukuoka, Japan Another Japanese show as held in Fukuoka at the Kokura Kita Gym. This show was one of the smallest shows of the day and featured a highly competitive headline bout between Yoshihiko Matsuo (17-5-5, 3) and Yudai Matsumoto (8-9-3, 1). On paper it looked one sided, in reality however there was next to nothing to split the two men and Matsumoto, once again, proved his record is misleading and although he is 1-5-1 in his last 7 he is a brilliant opponent who will never let anyone have an easy time with him. The co-feature on this show wasn't as competitive as the main event and instead it saw Yamato Uchinono (5-2-5, 3) stopping Takuro Habu (11-9-2, 3) in 5 rounds. The rest of the card was unfortunately one sided with a trio of stoppages. These saw the promising Yuki Beppu (4-0, 4) score a 96 second stoppage over Shota Aikawa (4-4-1, 1), Keisuke Nakayama (6-1, 3) stopped the debuting Dawubon Sakhonwon (0-1) in 3 rounds whilst Masanori Maeda (1-1-1, 1) scored a 4th round stoppage over the win-less Yoshiaki Kishioka (0-2). Okayama, Japan One of the most more obscure cards of the day was in Okayama at the Mimasaka Bunka Center and promoted by Shinsei Gym who were, of course, a little down hearted with Kohei Oba having lost the biggest fight of his career just a few days earlier. This show was headlined by a fight between Filipino Adones Aguelo (21-9-2, 13) and Hirohito Fukuhara (16-9-9, 8) with the visiting fighter scoring a late KO with just 94 seconds of the bout remaining. This was one of only 2 stoppages on the card with the other coming way down the card as the previously win-less Atsuhiro Mach Yamamoto (1-7, 1) defeated Katsuyoshi Yamada (0-1) inside a round. The other 5 bouts on this show all went to a decision. The highest profile of those saw Kazuhiro Nishitani (13-2, 6) take a wide decision over the hard hitting but technically poor Gabriel Royo (9-9-2, 8). This was a near shut out over 8 rounds and was one of two bouts that went the completed 8 with the other being a decision victory for Ryuya Yamanaka (7-1, 2) who over-came Hiroki Yamamoto (6-10-1, 1). In the only 6 rounder we had the most competitive bout of the day as Yasuyuki Otagaki (4-1-3) drew with Yushi Fujita (5-6-2). The 4 rounders saw Tetsuya Kawabata (3-7, 1) taking a rare decision as he over came the debuting Manabu Kashine (0-1) and Takuya Fujioka (3-3-1, 1) levelled his record off as he over-came the previously unbeaten Hideya Takayama (2-1-1, 1). Aichi, Japan The rest of the Japanese action was at the Aioi Hall in Aichi where 2 separate shows were held on the same day. The first of these shows that we'll look at is the Midori promotions show which was a 6 bout card which was nothing but competitive from top to bottom. The show opened with a trio of 4 round contests, only one actually got a winner. The one bout with a winner saw the unbeaten Masaru Urata (3-0-1, 1) over-come Ryunosuke Yamashita (1-3) via a narrow decision that saw one judge giving the bout to Urata by just a point. The other two 4 rounders both resulted in draws with Kazunori Takai (0-0-1) fighting to a majority draw with Tomoya Yamaguchi (4-2-1, 4) whilst Tetsuya Kanao (0-0-1) fought to a split decision draw with Kiyoshi Tanaka (0-3-2). Following the back-to-back draws we then had back-to-back split decision bouts as recent Japanese Heavyweight title challenger Kotatsu Takehara (10-9-3, 4) narrowly over-came Frenchman Cyril Leonet (6-8-2, 1) in a very competitive bout and Filipino journeyman Jaypee Ignacio (11-17-2, 2) scored a shock upset victory over Ryosuke Maruki (7-2-1, 5). Of those 2 bouts the talking point is clearly Ignacio's win over Maruki which ended Ignacio's 0-2 run in Japan. Outstanding performance by the tough Filipino. The main event here saw Kazuya Maruki (16-2, 10) taking a close and controversial victory over RJ Ano-os (8-6-1, 2) in a bout that should probably been scored a draw with all 3 cards giving Maruki the nod 96-95. The other show at the Aioi Hall we again got some very competitive match ups. These included a 4 round majority decision to Takashi Igarashi (2-0, 1) who out pointed Ryuya Kusakabe (0-1), a split decision draw between Naoki Yoshimura (0-0-1) and fellow debutant Shin Tomita (0-0-1) and a very close unanimous decision victory for Masatsugu Ito (1-1-1) who over-came Hideya Koyama (0-1). The other 4 rounders on this show were less competitive as Hayato Takeshima (3-2, 3) took just 38 seconds to see off the win-less Shohei Iwamoto (0-2-1), Shinpei Tominaga (1-1, 1) took less than 2 rounds to stop Yuta Takimoto (3-4-1, 2), Jun Takigawa (3-0, 2) needed 3 rounds to see off Tatsuya Sakamoto (3-5, 1) and Tetsuya Yamaguchi (2-1-1, 1) also needed just 3 rounds as he defeated the previously unbeaten Masanori Kawai (1-1, 1). The co-feature bout was also over early as Kazuki Fukakura (7-6-2, 3) saw off Nao Iwata (3-11-3) in the 3rd of a scheduled 6 rounds. Thankfully after all the stoppages we get a really hard fought main event which surprisingly saw Daiki Koide (21-6-2, 9) given an amazingly tough bout by Jose Maxian (9-4, 7). Although Maxian was stopped inside 2 rounds almost 2 years ago by Rikki Naito he does seem to be growing into a very capable fighter. We'd keep an eye on Maxian one day winning an OPBF or Filipino title as he is much better than his record indicates. Gimpo, South Korea In South Korea a card genuinely slipped under our radar despite their being a Korean title as the main event. The show, in total, had 10 bouts with the main attraction being the the bout for the Korean Lightweight title which is now around the waist of Sa-Ya Lee (5-2, 3) after he stopped Sang-Joon Park (5-4-2) with just 75 seconds of their bout remaining. Prior to the main event we got a series of 4 rounders and a small handful of 6 rounders. The 4 rounders, the 6 of them, featured just a pair of stoppages. These early endings saw Suk Yoon (1-0, 1) stopping Min-Wook Lee (0-1) in 2 rounds and Ki-Chul Lee (2-0, 2) stopping Kwon Kim (0-2) in round 4. Interestingly Kim was just seconds from the final bell. In the bouts not to see stoppages we did have one technical decision as Dong-Young Gang (2-0) took a 3 round technical victory over Kyung-Am Kim (0-3), incidentally they scored the 76 second third round, with at least 2 of the judges awarding that particular round to Gang. As well as the technical victory for Gang we also had 2 draws as debuting pair Seung-Yoon Shin (0-0-1) and Joseph Lee (0-0-1) were seen as difficult to split by the judges and Sung-Dong Kim (2-1-1, 1) marked up the previously perfect record of Joon-Ho Moon (2-0-1, 1), also with split decision draw. The one 4 rounder that reached a natural decision conclusion and had a winner was a bout that saw the unbeaten Byung-Ha Kim (3-0) clearly defeat Seung-Bong Moon (1-1-1, 1) . In the 6 round bouts things were equally as competitive with Moon-Sun Jung (2-2-3) taking a majority decision over In-Kyoo Lee (2-2, 1) and Da-Won Suh (3-3-1, 1) fighting to a draw with Hyo-Suk Kim (2-0-4, 1). Whilst the only clear victor was Joon-Young Lee (4-1-3, 2) who clearly beat Hyo-Hyun Nam (2-4). (Image thansk to Ohashi Gym) |
