Bangkok,Thailand
This past Thursday in Thailand saw a number of bouts with a trio of notable Thai fighters. Of the three Thai's in action the most significant at the moment is current WBC Minimumweight champion Wanheng Menayothin (39-0, 14) who scored a 4th round stoppage victory against Ardi Buyung (2-5). Wanheng, who is expected to return to the ring in about 6 weeks, did little more than stay busy with this bout as he moves towards a world title defence against Young Kil Bae. Another was former WBC Minimumweight champion Oleydong Sithsamerchai (57-1-1, 21) who made light work of the win-less Petchmai Sor Praithong (0-6), who was stopped in the 5th round. The third bout of note saw former WBA interim Flyweight championship Yodmongkol Vor Saengthep (36-3, 22) score a 3rd round KO win against Edo Anggoro (7-4), and claim a lower tier title with the win.

Sarangani, Philippines
This past Wednesday was a relatively quiet day in Asian boxing, but there was a small card in the Philippines. In the main event we saw a new champion being crowned as Ronie Tanallon (8-1-1, 2) out pointed Lester John Pronco (9-11-1, 6) to become the new Philippines Boxing Federation Minimumweight champion. The win, for Tanallon, was by far his biggest so far. In the main support bout fans saw the heavy handed and unbeaten Romero Duno (8-0, 7) extend his perfect record with a 3rd round TKO win against Eusebio Baluarte (19-13, 12), who was stopped for the 11th time in 32 fights. In another supporting bout JP Macadumpis (10-6-1, 4) scored a stoppage win over the limited Rocky Alvarez (2-6, 1). In the only 4 rounder on the card Dingdong Quinones (5-14-1, 2) defeated the win-less Cris Javellana (0-3) with a 3rd round KO. Incheon, South Korea
The biggest show this past Sunday was an AK Promotions show in Korea. In the main event fans saw American KO artist Randall Bailey (46-8-0-1, 39) score an excellent knockout against Japanese fighter Shusaku Fujinaka (12-6-2, 8). Fujinaka had given Bailey a tough time for the first 6 rounds but was stopped in the 7th from the amazingly hard hitting Bailey. Impressively Fujinaka did get up, just beating the count, but referee Danrex Tapdasan rightfully stopped the bout. In the co-main event the debuting Muhammad Waseem (1-0, 1) claimed the Korea (KBC) Bantamweight title with a 9th round TKO win against Min Wook Lee (2-3). Waseem, a Pakistani fighter now based in Korea, showed more than enough to get a little bit excited by, though of course Bantamweight isn't an easy division right now and at 28 AK Promotions may feel the need to keep Waseem on the fast track. On paper the best bout was a 6 rounder between Korean slugger Taek-Min Kim (15-8, 10) and Filipino southpaw Ryan Sermona (18-7, 11). On paper this was a good match up but Sermona was too good for Kim, who appeared to be feeling the effects of all his wars and was stopped in just the 2nd round. Another bout scheduled for 6 that went just 2 rounds saw Dilbag Singh (2-0, 1) stop Rocky Alap Alap (5-12) in what was a mismatch in favour of the 34 year old Singh. Another 6 rounder saw Neeraj Goyat (4-3-2) take a decision win over southpaw Ronnel Esparas (10-19-1, 2). The rest of the show were bouts scheduled for 4 rounds. These included a trio of decision bouts. One of those saw 17 year old fighter Chang Woo Yuh (2-0, 1) take a decision win against Jin Kwon Joo (0-2), another saw the debuting Soo Hwan Kim (1-0) claim a win over Jong Hyuk Yoon (2-2), with this being a good win the 19 year old debutant. A third bout that went the distance saw Hyun Tae Bae (4-0-1, 2) defeat Hoo Won Lee (1-1). In bouts that ended early Hae Hyun Shin (1-0, 1) scored an opening round TKO win against Sang Hoon Jang (0-2) whilst Se Yul Yang (1-0-2, 1) claimed his first win with a 4th round TKO win against Woo Joo Lee (0-1). Cebu, Philippines As well as the action in Korea there was also action in the Philippines. In the main event here fans saw Romnick Magos (16-5, 7) take a 7th round majority technical decision win against Ryan Tampus (11-16, 8). In the chief supporting bout fans saw Elias Joaquino (7-0-1, 4) take a decision win over limited veteran Jonathan Ricablanca (8-49-2, 1), who was shut out over 8 rounds. On the under-card Mark Rotllas (1-0) took a decision win against Jenebal Peregrino (0-1) in an all debutant bout, another decision saw Rimon Rama (2-0, 1) take a decision win over Erbert Donato (0-1) whilst Jeffrey Stella (2-0-1, 2) quickly stopped Jamesbert Abanes (0-1), Tokyo, Japan In Tokyo Japanese fans had a bit of a treat with with some matched bouts, at least on paper, and some big name fighters. In one of the two main events fans saw former world champion Akifumi Shimoda (30-4-2, 13) beat Filipino Jerry Nardo (21-7, 11) in 5 rounds. This was one of Shimoda's best performances and he looked sharp from the opening bell. Whilst it's hard to see him winning another world title we really couldn't fault his performance. The other main bout was a total mismatch and saw Yoshihiro Kamegai (26-3-1, 23) make very light work of Nelson Gulpe (8-6, 3) with a 3rd round KO. This bout was a mismatch, there's no two ways about it, however it was Kamegai's return to Japan after 3 bouts in the US. On of the better matched bouts saw Kenya Yamashita (8-1, 5) score a 6th round TKO win against Musashi Suzuki (11-4, 4). Coming into this one Suzuki was ranked by the JBC and Yamashita had lost his previous bout, so this result will shake up the domestic rankings. Another bout that looked good on paper saw Junki Sasaki (14-3, 5) take a shut out win against Yuki Ozawa (10-5, 2). This one looked good on paper but proved to be one-sided. Another 8 rounder on this card saw the promising Masaru Sueyoshi (10-1, 6) take a clear win over Roman Canto (10-8-2, 5), with Filipino visitor Canto doing enough to survive but failing to win a round. On the under-card Ryota Toyoshima (3-1-1, 2) defeated Kazumichi Ishizawa (3-6, 1) with a near shut out over 4 rounds whilst the debuting Yamato Hata (1-0,1) stopped Thailand's Muangpol NP Boxing Gym (0-1) in the second round. Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand In the main event fans saw the talented Paipharob Kokietgym (31-0, 24) continue staying active with a 2nd round win against out-matched Filipino Jopher Marayan (7-8-2, 3) in a bout that saw Paipharob retain his PABA Light Flyweight title. Also on this card fans saw former world champion Kompayak Porpramook (54-5, 38) continue his career with a 4th round TKO win over Indonesian journeyman Ichal Tobida (12-17, 8). Although not the fighter he once was Kompayak still has far too much for fighters like Tobida. Also on this card fans saw the unbeaten Manachai Banchamek (8-0-1, 6) extend his perfect record with a decision win against Boonmieng Laos PDR (0-1). California, USA In the US fans saw popular Filipino Mercito Gesta (29-1-2-1, 16) claim a narrow run over Miguel Angel Mendoza (22-7-2, 21). Gesta was dropped early in the fight and was said to have been fortunate to get the decision here. New South Wales, Australia In Australia fans had a chance to see a number of Thai's in action, sadly however it wasn't a good day for them. The most notable of those Thai's was former world champion Denkaosan Kaovichit (63-6-1, 26) who was stopped in 5 rounds by the fast rising TJ Doheny (13-0, 9), who has seemingly shown that he's heading to bigger and better things than a PABA title, one of which he defended here. Another was Mongkolchai Lookmuangkanch (12-5, 7) who was stopped by another former world champion, Vic Darchinyan (41-8-1, 30) in just 2 rounds. Despite the fact Darchinyan was 39 this always seemed like a serious mismatch. Another man who picked up a loss was Denkamon Pakdee Gym (22-7, 13) who was stopped by Olympian Cameron Hammond (14-0, 8). Interestingly this result was originally reported wrong in what would have been a huge upset. (Image courtesy of boxingnews.jp) Nonthanburi, Thailand
The most notable show for us this past Friday was in Thailand where we had a televised card on Channel 7. In the main event we saw an upset as the unknown and gangly Cosmos Cheka (15-4-4, 2) managed to stopped Thailand's Thewa Onesongchaigym (10-3, 5) in 7 rounds. Although a “non-puncher” Cheka looked like he was a skilled fighter who seemed to know too much and was simply too tricky for Thewa who had no idea how to cope with the wiry frame of the Tanzanian fighter. On the back of this performance we really want to see more of Cheka as he looks like he will be a very fun fighter to follow, even if he's not the prettiest fighter to watch. A bout that went completely as expected saw former world title contender Chonlatarn Piriyapinyo (57-2, 38) easily defeat the game but limited Samongkol Ekchumpol (0-1). Samongkol tried but was no match for Chonlatarn who finished the bout in round 4 with an uppercut that sent the novice down. The mismatch was unnecessary but from what we understand it was a bout to kickstart Chonlatarn's run at 130lbs. Another bout that went the way everyone expected saw world ranked Flyweight contender, and Manny Pacquiao look-a-likey, Kwanpichit OnesongchaiGym (33-1-2, 18) easily see off Srisomdech Kwanjaisrikod (0-2), who was saved by the referee in round 4. Another 4th round TKO saw the unbeaten Rakniran Muadransarakam (7-0, 6) see off the debuting Thaisamai Jitigym (0-1). Tokyo, Japan As well the bouts in Thailand, there was also a show in Japan. Unfortunately there are no results confirmed from the show. Sadly due to recent time constraints we won't be including these results. Tokyo, Japan In Japan this past Tuesday fans got the chance to see a Japanese title double at the Korakuen Hall on a show that really was a significant one for the Japanese domestic scene. The main event of the card saw Japanese Super Bantamweight champion Yukinori Oguni (15-1-1, 4) successfully retain his title with a clear decision win over the heavy handed Taiki Minamoto (10-5, 9). Minamoto tried to use his power early on, and had some success, but over-all his attacks were blunted by Oguni's intelligent boxing, moving and jab which were his keys to winning. In the co-feature Japanese Welterweight champion Suyon Takayama (23-1, 7) retained his title with a clear decision win over Ryoji Tanaka (8-5-1, 2). Tanaka showed some desire but on the whole was unable to really establish himself against the champion, who has now racked up 6 defenses of the title that he won back in December 2012. In a minor upset Noriyuki Ueno (18-13-5, 5) took a split decision win over Yuki Ogata (21-2-1, 3). This bout, between former Japanese title challengers, was a must win for both if they were hoping to rejoin the title mix, and unfortunately for the light punching Ogata it really is a loss that send him down the pecking order. Ueno on the other hand is now likely to be one good win from a title fight in 2016. Another competitive 8 rounder saw Kyosuke Sawada (4-2, 2) claim a majority win over Tonko Nakagawa (13-7, 5) in what was a major win for the novice. Sawada, who lost his first 2 bouts, wasn't expected to win here and is now likely to try and keep the momentum going as he steps up and looks to continue his winning run. For Nakagawa this will be a hard loss to take. The only stoppage on this card saw the hard hitting Ryota Yada (9-3, 7) claim a 7th round TKO win over Ryota Itoyama (10-8-1, 5), who was stopped for the 4th time. Yada's win was his 6th in a row and it's clear that he has really began to find form. In the only other bout on this card fans saw Yasuki Katagiri (5-2, 1) claim a technical decision win over Kazuki Kobayashi (4-9). (Image courtesy of boxingnews.jp) Tokyo, Japan In Japan fans had a Dangan show that featured a number of tournament bouts with prospects and novices involved. The main event of the show saw the touted Light Middleweight Kazuto Takesako (2-0, 2) defeat Elfelos Vega (5-2, 3) in just 92 seconds to make a genuine statement and claim the MVP of the B class tournament. The unbeaten 24 year old is being regarded as a fighter who could be fast tracked and a result like this seems to suggest that he really could be in good bouts before the end of 2016. Another of the B class bouts saw the unbeaten Daishi Nagata (4-0-1, 2) out point Minoru Iizuka (5-4, 3) in a bout at Light Welterweight. Incidentally this was the first time that Iizuka had seen the final bell have either been stopped or scoring a stoppage in his previous 8 bouts. At Super Bantamweight we had a blow out as Naoki Kumagai (7-2, 4) took out Heisuke Ono 96-3, 5) in just 167 seconds to claim the B class title at 122lbs. At 118lbs it was the turn of Sonin Nihei (7-1-2, 1) who claimed a decision win over Masayasu Nakamura (5-2-1, 5) in a very close and competitive bout. The lowest weight involved in the B class tournament was Flyweight where Yuji Okinori (7-2-1, 1) took a decision over Shoji Ebisawa (6-2-1, 1) in a hotly contested bout. As well as the B class tournament bouts there was also a couple of C class tournament finals. These saw Shintaro Hirohama (4-3-1, 3) claim a 3rd round TKO win in a Super Featherweight bout against Masahiko Ashiya (2-2-2, 1) and Naoto Mizutani (3-0, 1) score a 2nd round KO win against Shogo Isaka (0-2), in a bout at Bantamweight. In non-tournament bouts Shota Watanabe (1-0, 1) made light work of fellow debutant Ryohei Shishido (0-1) with a 3rd round TKO win, Junki Kobayashi (3-1, 3) blew away Satoshi Tanaka (0-1) in 41 seconds and Erika Hanawa (2-0) recorded a narrow decision win over Mikio Muto (2-3). Gwangyang, South Korea On paper the most significant show was in South Korea of all places as fight fans had a female world title bout and a domestic title bout. That world title bout saw unbeaten South Korean Eun Hye Lee (8-0, 3) take a 3rd round TKO win against Ploynapa Sakrungrueng (12-6-1, 1). The win for Lee saw her claim the WBO female Light Flyweight title though it's fair to say that she'll be expected to face a real challenge before many will recognise her as a proper world champion. The Korean title, or the KBC version at least, bout saw Joon Yong Lee (5-3-3, 3) score a 2nd round TKO win against Boo-Hyun Baek (3-5, 1). Baek was dropped twice in round 2 forcing the referee to stop the action. Amazingly this card ended up with 4 of it's 6 bouts ending in draws. The most notable of those Jae Ho Kim (6-1-1, 2) take a lucky technical draw with Rey Laspinas (20-11-6, 12), with Kim having being dropped in round 2 before the doctors stopped the bout in round 3. A very lucky escape for the Korean. Another draw saw Ji Sun Yoon (0-0-1) score a draw with Yoo Ri Kim (0-0-1) in an all debutant bout. Another draw saw Chae Yong Lee (1-1-1, 1) fight to a draw with Jin Jun (1-1-1, 1) whilst Jung Yul Lee (0-2-1) got a draw with Sang Ho Kim (2-0-1, 1). Metro Manila, Philippines The least significant of three Asian shows came from the Philippines where fans got a number of domestic level fights. The main bout of the card saw Warren Mambuanag (8-5-2, 3) take a 10 round decision over Gabriel Royo (10-13-2, 8). Mambuang was dropped in round 6 though recovered well to take a very clear decision over the heavier handed, but more limited, Royo. Another bout that went the distance saw Philip Luis Cuerdo (8-2-1, 4) take an 8 round decision win over Jeven Villacite (3-4-4, 1). The "better than his records suggests" Villacite was dropped in round 7 by Cuerdo who may well be one to keep an eye on in the future. Another 8 rounder saw JayAr Diama (6-5-5, 3) blow away Ricky Oyan (4-26-2, 2) in the 3rd round of their bout. Another blow out saw Jimmy Borbon (3-1-1, 2) claim an opening round TKO against Jerwin Mejes (2-2-1, 2) inside a round, in a bout scheduled to go 6. Another blow out saw the unbeaten Richard Morales (2-0, 2) wipe out Kenneth Perez (0-1). Morales wasn't the only man keeping his unbeaten run alive. Another was Michael Mendoza (2-0), who beat Jun Imao (0-4) with a wide decision, whilst Jerry Mae Villagracia (2-0, 1) took a split decision win over Manny Mamacquiao (0-7-1). In a close bout Diego Gabayeron (0-1-1) fought to a draw with the debuting Kenter Pagunsan (0-0-1). A man who got off to a positive start was Marvin Lulu (1-0) who claimed a technical decision win over Jiro Saonoy (1-6). (Image courtesy of boxingnews.jp) Bangkok, Thailand
There wasn't much action this past Monday but what there was was a number of mismatches from Bangkok where 8 boots took place and none of them managed to go the scheduled distance. The shortest bouts of the show lasted less than a round. One of those Sornnarai Sor Bangkhru (1-3, 1) score an opening round TKO over Ibuki Tanaka (0-3) whilst the other saw Maxsaisai Sithsaithong (16-7, 5) take out debutant Satantung Sor Banghkru (0-1), also inside a round. Incredibly 4 of the bouts ended in round 2. These included the main event between veteran fighter Chaiyong Sithsaithong (38-14-4, 26) and debutant Klachana Saknarong (0-1). Another saw the unbeaten Tadayuki Miyagi (3-0, 3) defeat Saenpalangchai Chaiyonggym (0-1), the limited Chatchai Or Benjamas (2-7, 2) defeat Kaona Klongpajol (0-1), the remaining 2nd round win was scored by Japanese visitor Hirotsugu Yamamoto (18-11-2, 3) who he beaten Bank TJ Gym (0-3). Yodpichai Sithsaithong (11-13, 5) managed to claim a 3rd round victory as he stopped the win-less Phetsaifar Lukmaelamperigym (0-8) The longest bout lasted 6 rounds as Yunoka Furukawa (6-1-2, 4) managed to finally see off Kanittha Saknarong (1-7, 1). Osaka, Japan The biggest show of the day came form the newly re-named “EDION Arena Osaka”, aka the “Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium” and the “Bodymaker Colosseum”. The show featured a couple of world title fights, a Japanese title fight and a female world title fight, whilst the under-card featured a former world title challenger and several notable under-card fighters. The main event of the card saw Osakan super-star Kazuto Ioka (18-1, 10) successfully retain his WBA Flyweight title with a near shut out win against Argentina's Roberto Domingo Sosa (26-3-1, 14). Sosa, although tough, never looked like he was in he fight as Ioka out boxed him, out skilled him, out sped him and out punched him. Ioka's title fight was one of 4 champions retaining their title. Another saw IBF Minimumweight champion Katsunari Takayama (30-7-0-1, 12) retain his title with an 8th round TKO win against Ryuji Hara (19-2, 11). For Takayama this was his second defense and seems to lead him towards a unification bout with WBO champion Kosei Tanaka, with that bout potentially taking place on New Years Eve, when Tanaka is set to return. Another champion to retain their title was Sho Ishida (20-0, 10) who comfortably over-came Hayato Kimura (23-8, 15) and retained the Japanese Super Flyweight title, with a wide decision. Kimura seemed unable to ever establish himself against the talented Ishida however we're beginning to doubt Ishida's “world class” potential, given his second less than perfect performance. Another successful defense saw OPBF female Light Flyweight champion Kei Takenaka (10-0, 3) claim an 8 round shut out win over Krikanok Islandmuaythai (4-5-1, 2) to retain her title. Another 8 round bout saw former world title challenger Atsushi Kakutani (17-4-1, 10) take a 2nd round KO against Thoedkiad Singhamanasak (0-4), whilst the much touted Masayoshi Hashizume (9-0, 6) continued his perfect started to professional life with a 64 second win against Petchnamnung Sor Thiebkhun (0-11). The card also featured a par of 6 rounders. One of those saw the much touted Riku Kano (7-1-1, 4) claim a comfortable decision victory over Kenta Matsui (6-5, 1) whilst the other was a competitive split decision win for Juan Castillo Inami (9-3, 4), who beat Tesu Kanayama (4-3, 1). In the only 4 rounder Hayate Ikuta (4-0, 1) blitzed Kota Hama (2-2, 1) in just 51 seconds. Osaka, Japan Staying at the EDION Arena Osaka, there was also a West of Japan Rookie of the Year show, in fact it was the final of the section of the Rookie of the year competition. In the Minimumweight division the winner was 20 year old Ryusei Kitamura (5-1, 1) who took a narrow decision win over Ryoki Hirai (5-4-1, 2). The Light Flyweight champion was Seigo Yuri Akui (4-0-1, 2) who blew away Kaminoko Okamura Kentokid (5-1-3, 2) inside a round. At Flyweight it was the unbeaten Masahiro Sakamoto (4-0, 3) who came out on top with a 2nd round KO win against Hirohide Murakami (4-3). In the Super Flyweight division Kensei Hirano (5-0, 3) took less than a round to blow away Shion Tamada (2-1) with an opening round win. At Bantamweight we had a really competitive bout that saw Tenta Kiyose (6-1-1, 1) take a split decision win over Tetsu Araki (4-1-1). At Super Bantamweight we had a bout that looked really close on paper though in the ring it was a near shut out as Kohei Iwai (6-3-1, 5) clearly beat Takaaki Kanai (5-4, 3). The Featherweight action was competitive with Yuto Nagano (5-0, 2) taking a majority decision over Ryuya Yanagida (2-1, 2). In the Super Featherweight division things were one sided as Naotoshi Nakatani (6-0, 5) blew away Ryo Sumiya (2-2-1) in the 2nd round. Lightweight saw Tomoaki Mastumura (5-0, 3) destroy Yu Sumiya (1-1, 1) in just 42 seconds. The Light Welterweight division saw an upset as Kazuma Fukuyama (5-4-3) took a decision win over Yuki Takahashi (5-1, 1). At Welterweight Giraffe Kirin Kanda (5-1, 3) took a 96 second win over Yuya Shimakawa (2-1). In the Middleweight division Brandon Lockhart Shane (5-3, 4) beat Yuki Nakanishi (1-3, 1). Bangkok, Thailand In Thailand Kiatkreerin put on a 3 fight card. The main event here saw Mike Tawatchai (36-8-1, 21) claim the vacant IBF Pan Pacific Super Bantamweight title with a decision win over Junny Salogaol (9-8-4, 9). This was Tawatchai's first bout since being beaten in a world title eliminator against Shingo Wake. Another notable name on this card was former world title challenger Fahlan Sakkreerin Jr (28-4-1, 15) who over-came Oscar Raknafa (12-11, 5) with an 8 round decision win. A third notable fighter was former Olympic star Manus Boonjumnong (2-0) who beat Marco Tuhumury (10-12-2, 3) with a 4 round decision (Image courtesy of boxingnews.jp) Khiri Khan, Thailand
The most notable Thai card of the day came courtesy of Thai Channel 3 and featured 3 relatively well known names. The most well known man on the card was former world title challenger Terdsak Kokietgym (58-5-1, 38) who scored a 3rd round KO victory against Indonesian journeyman Eddy Comaro (32-25-5, 13), who has now been stopped 11 times! Another notable name on the under-card was former WBA Super Flyweight champion Tepparith Kokietgym (31-3, 19) who took a straight forward decision win against Boido Simanjuntak (18-30-1, 7). Tepparith has now racked up 5 wins this year and it seems about time to let him in against more testing opposition. In the main event fans saw world ranked Super Flyweight Petchbarngborn Kokietgym (34-7-1, 15) take a clear win over Espinos Sabu (12-7-2, 5) to retain the PABA Super Flyweight title. Nakhon Sawan, Thailand In the only boxing bout of a Muay Thai card fans saw world ranked youngster Petch Sor Chitpattana (33-0, 21) take a clear decision win against Eric Panza (8-5-1, 2). This bout may have seen Petch run up a 33rd straight win but it's clear he's not ready for a world title fight and will need to significantly increase his level of competition to even come close being ready. Tokyo, Japan We also had the second set of semi-final bouts for the Rookie of the East tournament as the Korakuen Hall played host to a thrilling second day of Rookie action. In the Minimumweight bout Hizuki Saso (6-1, 2) scored a 2nd round TKO win against Yuki Ikeya (3-2, 1), who has now been stopped twice with his other loss being a stoppage defeat on his debut. At Light Flyweight Hiroki Hosoya (3-1) took a well earned decision win against Akihiro Yamanaka (5-4, 2), and ended a 4 fight winning run from Yamanaka. Unbeaten Flyweight hopeful Masahiro Kaneda (6-0, 1) continued his perfect start as he out pointed 21 year old fighter Yuma Kudo (4-2-1). In the Super Flyweight division fans saw Teiken's heavy handed Ryo Matsubara (4-1, 4) show off his power as he stopped Ryoji Fukunaga (4-2, 4) in a bout between punchers. This was stopped after 126 seconds with Matsubara seemingly the harder of the two big punchers. At Bantamweight it was 21 year old Wataru Takeda (6-0-1, 2) scoring the win as he stopped Yuito Yamaguchi (4-5-1, 1) in the 2nd round of their bout. The most competitive bout on the card came as Super Bantamweight where Renji Ichimura (4-2, 3) claimed a majority decision over Ryusei Ishii (5-2, 3) in a bout that really was razor thin. Another Teiken fighter picking up the win was unbeaten Featherweight Teppei Kayanuma (6-0, 4) who scored a 2nd round TKO win against 19 year old Ryota Ishida (5-1, 3), in what looked to be the best match up on paper. At Super Featherweight the unbeaten Fumiaki Kishi (5-0-1, 3) scored a 2nd round KO against Sho Nagata (5-2, 2) with a 1-punch finish. In the Lightweight division fans got really competitive action with Mao Kawanishi (4-1, 1) claiming a majority decision over Yutaka Uemura (5-3-1, 2). The Light Welterweight bout saw power again come to the fore for Shinjiro Kawada (4-1-1, 4) who scored a 2nd round TKO win against Masaya Sakamoto (3-1, 2). At Welterweight Masaharu Kaito (4-0, 1) proved he could punch as he blew away Toshinobu Mimura (4-1-1, 3) in spectacular fashion inside a round. In the Middleweight bout Riku Nagahama (1-0-1) claimed his first win with a narrow decision victory over Reo Watanabe (2-1-1, 1). |
