    Fight was competitive in the first half, and...not so competitive in the second.

    R10 Akui, 10-9, 118-110; Wide win for Akui but Kuwahara deserves credit for showing incredible heart

    I'm not listening to her fortunately, got I believe French commentary. :sisi1 Was going by the majority of cards on Twitter giving the first & fifth to Kuwuhara.

    Really impressed with akui.

    Looks like he could be another Japanese star.

    It was more like Kuwahara was out-chucking his man in spurts and the spurts carried him to the occasional minute. But he was like a clock winding down as the hard rounds progressed.

    The first I can see, giving him the 5th IMO was overly generous, but I won't argue with it too much.

    Not close to as supremely technically crafted as Ioka, nor as naturally gifted and explosive as Inoue...but yeah, he's quietly putting together a nice body of work and he's a flat-out effective machine of a flyweight. :thumbsup:
