☆The Japanese Boxing Thread - Inoue wins; Olympic gold medallist Murata in action!☆ - Page 21

kosaros · 12-22-2012, 10:30 AM

Today in Kobe, Japan, Hozumi Hasegawa (31-4, 13KOs) continued his vengeance against Mexican opposition, winning a unanimous decision over determined challenger Arturo Santos Reyes (12-3, 4KOs). The 31-year old former two-time 'world' champion won via scorecards of 98-93, 98-94 and 97-95.

The chief-support saw Malcolm Tunacao (32-2-3, 20KOs) secure himself a crack at the WBC bantamweight title as he controlled his bout with Christian Esquivel (25-4, 18KOs) before scoring a decisive knockout victory in the 7th round of their scheduled 12-rounder. Twelve years ago, Tunacao lost his lineal flyweight championship and now, at the age of 35, he will finally get another chance at a 'world' title.

Haven't seen it yet mate, but the report on the 'Scene said that he 'employed stellar defence while fending off a determined Santos'.

Will post footage if I find it

Looks like Sato-Suriyan II could happen in a few months:

"...But Sato will be forced to defend his belt against some Thailander to be designated by the ex-champ Suriyan’s promoter/manager Surachart Pisitwuttinan who was in attendance. It will be up to his manager Keiichiro Kanehira’s negotiation with him as to where and when Sato’s third defense will take place."

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

The options seem to be:

Suriyan Sor Rungvisai (23-5-1, 9KOs) - Clearly the best choice, IMO. Former champ and only lost a close decision to Sato. Arguably Thailand's best fighter P4P right now.

Srisaket Sor Rungvisai (16-1-1, 15KOs) - Basic, but powerful fighter that has won his last 15 fights. Ranked top 10 by the WBC, although I think him vs Sato is a bad style match-up.

Nawaphon Por Chokchai (11-0, 8KOs) - Younger brother of Suriyan who, like his sibling, comes from an extensive Muay Thai background. Has only went 12 rounds once and currently campaigns at flyweight, so probably too soon to step him up.

Yaegashi, Inoue in action tomorrow

http://pbs.twimg.com/media/A88UGl7CUAATDqu.jpg:large

Former WBA minimumweight champion Akira Yaegashi returns to action tomorrow, while two of Japan's most exciting prospects - Naoya Inoue and Ryo Matsumoto - feature on the undercard.

The 29-year old Yaegashi (15-3, 8KOs) last fought in June 2012, when he pushed rising star and fellow countryman Kazuto Ioka all the way in their thrilling, history making unification clash. Now campaigning at light flyweight, Yaegashi will face the experienced Saenmuangloei Kokietgym (15-4-3, 3KOs) in a non-title fight scheduled for 10 rounds.

Light flyweight sensation Naoya Inoue (1-0, 1KO) is one of the hottest commodities in Asian boxing after his fantastic debut performance. The 19-year old, a former amateur star with a record of 75-6. 48 stoppages, took apart OPBF #7 and Philippines champion Crison Omayao inside four rounds to make an impressive statement back in October of last year. Next up for Inoue is Ngaoprajan Chuwatana (8-10, 8KOs), the current Thai light flyweight champion.

Ryo Matsumoto (4-0, 4KOs) is another former amateur boxer held in high regard after amassing a 53-3, 39KOs record. Now in the pro ranks, the 18-year old Matsumoto, a lanky, free-flowing super flyweight, will face a Thai opponent in his 5th paid contest.

Why, god, why?!

Results of some important fights in Japan today:

Koki Kameda (30-1, 17KOs) has, again, been involved in another close decision victory, this time beating Panomroonglek Kaiyanghadaogym (36-2, 19KOs) by a split verdict to retain his WBA World bantamweight title. One judge had it 116-113 for the challenger, but he was overruled by scorecards of 115-114 and 115-113 for Kameda.

In a surprise, Filipino puncher Denver Cuello (33-4-6, 21KOs) was pushed to a majority decision victory over former 'world' title challenger Takashi Kunishige (24-9-2, 2KOs). The scores for the bout were 97-92 and 96-93 for Cuello, while the other judge had it even at 95-95. Cuello is awaiting a WBC minimumweight title shot against the winner of Xiong Zhao Zhong vs Carlos Ortega on May 3.

In a crossroads battle, Hiroyuki Hisataka (22-10-1, 10KOs) breathed new life into his career as he defeated former flyweight ruler Sonny Boy Jaro (34-12-5, 22KOs) by unanimous decision over 10 rounds. Scoring for the bout was as followed: 98-94, 98-94 and 96-94 all for Hisataka.

---

Nobuo Nashiro (19-5-1, 13KOs) scored his first (somewhat) notable win in almost two years, stopping Thailand's Yodchanchai Nakornloung Promotion (19-3, 16KOs) in the 6th of a scheduled 10 rounds. The always exciting Nashiro, 31, had said he would retire if he failed to beat Tepparith Kokietgym in September of last year, but his valiant performance in defeat prompted him to continue his journey towards a third 'world' title.

Fast-tracked former flyweight world title challenger Hirofumi Mukai (8-2-1, 1KO) was surprisingly stopped for the first time in his professional career by contender Mark Anthony Geraldo (27-4-3, 12KOs), with the Filipino decking the hometown favourite in the 2nd of a scheduled 10 rounds.

IntentionalButt · 04-07-2013, 11:01 AM

I'm hearing the Kameda retention was super dodgy.

If it was indeed a gift, that's arguably four in his reign...basically any time since Munoz that he didn't stop the opponent, the consensus has been that he didn't earn it on points.

I definitely had him losing against De La Mora.

Ruiz & Manakane did enough.

Now this random Thai.

Koki and this other Japanese icon have something else in common...

Japanese punchers went 3-0 today on the WBC triple-header in Tokyo.

Akira Yaegashi hammered out a gory UD over Toshiyuki Igarashi, flooring him repeatedly but also getting his own face torn up.

Takashi Miura ended the brief reign of Mexican journeyman turned Cinderella man Gamaliel Diaz (and got revenge for Takahiro Aoh) with a 9th round knockout following several knockdowns.

Shinsuke Yamanaka withstood & repelled the best efforts of Malcolm Tunacao, stopping the game but utterly depleted Filipino with a brutal combination in the final minute while up on the cards (known due to WBC open scoring) and with nasty cuts all over the challenger's face which themselves could have warranted discontinuation.

kosaros · 04-16-2013, 12:39 PM

Olympic gold medallist Ryota Murata had an exhibition today, facing former Japanese middleweight champion Sanosuke Sasaki. Footage is below:

And although it was an exhibition, Murata didn't exactly hold back

Also, highlights from Naoya Inoue's win over Yuki Sano, the #1 contender in Japan at light flyweight:

Flea Man · 04-16-2013, 01:49 PM

Inoue would beat Zou Shiming if they fought next

T.C.W · 04-16-2013, 07:14 PM

Inoue impressed me last night, he looks the goods big time.

Flea Man · 04-18-2013, 01:33 AM

Just have some lovely touches for a kid. I would honestly put him with Ioka at the beginning of 2014 if he keeps bowling over domestic oppo'.

Interestingly, if Inoue had not lost to Birzhan Zhakipov of Kazakhstan...in Kazakhstan (which I don't trust the legitimacy of in the absence of any footage - especially where it was still a relatively close 16-11 for Zhakipov...) in a qualifier, Inoue and Shiming would've been seeded to likely meet in the London Olympics last year. Zhakipov lost narrowly to Shiming in the Quarterfinals...

Flea Man · 04-18-2013, 02:01 PM

Shiming would've beaten Inoue at the Olympics. If he could win the final against the Thai (horrific robbery) then he would've beat Inoue.

Anyway, now, as pro's; Inoue wins. Will likely never happen, not as soon as I'd like it to anyway. Zou is gonna' be protected.

Also, the Kazakh decision; Kazahkstan have some fantastic fighters, I wouldn't be surprised if it was legit'. I can't recall Zou's bout with Zhakipov although I remember watching it (made sure I watched all of Shiming's fights at the Olympics, have watched him for years now)

Probably another dodgy decision for Zou, his form was pretty poor. Did he beat Barnes again? IIRC that might've been his only strong showing of the Games.
