Daiki Kameda vs. Liborio Solis & Tomoki Kameda vs. Immanuel Naidjala RBR

Round 4

Kameda is diving in, palms glued to his temples, forming a leather helmet, hitting the body and then pulling outside. Naidjala is backed up to the ropes and hooked above the belt, circling out and jabbing into Kameda's guard but not getting through.

10-9 Kameda

40-36 Kameda

 

Round 5

Kameda is still pressuring Naidjala with his inside-out body attack, but now leaning on him and grappling after landing to sap his strength and reduce Naidjala's jab output from long range. Naidjala is walked into a corner, where Kameda doubles a thudding left hook into his hip. Naidjala traverses a set of ropes into the next corner and waits for Kameda with his left hand low and right glove wavering by his chin, luring Kameda in. Right uppercut by Naidjala springing off the ropes, hitting the underside of Kameda's arm. Clinch.

10-9 Kameda

50-45 Kameda

 

Round 6

Kameda is forcing Naidjala repeatedly into the ropes, muscling in behind a guard with his upper body pointed forward and weaponized. Naidjala is taking Kameda's full weight behind forearms supported by head, just bulldozing into him. Body shots liberally poured in by Kameda, some of the lefts doubling Naidjala partially over. Naidjala is beginning to dispense with the luckless jab and try matching Kameda at his own game, looping in rights to the body from outside while scurrying away, but only grazing.

10-9 Kameda

60-54 Kameda

 

Yeah, and has been for some time. Koki has increasingly worsened since around Munoz, while Daiki was simply never very good.

 

Round 7

Kameda is walking Naidjala down, hitting the body at distance. Naidjala is tentative, pawing out some left jabs and swatting with long rights as he repositions his rear foot to keep his balance under fire. HUGE combination by Kameda, right hand and left hook on the jaw, surprising Naidjala after having taken nothing but jabs and body shots for so long. Naidjala looked a bit shaken.

10-9 Kameda

70-63 Kameda

 

Round 8

Kameda is whipping in the hook now with each step forward, doubling it under Naidjala's right elbow and following up with another on the jawline. Naidjala is jabbing and slashing down with his right as he yields ever more ground, keen to not stay put for those meat-tenderizing hooks and wanting less and less of Kameda's bullying physicality.

10-9 Kameda

80-72 Kameda

 

Round 9

Kameda is pressing in, still with his spine rigid and posture straight from the waist up but leaned forward and throwing in combination downstairs. Naidjala is throwing more in retreat, uppercuts and lobs over the top, but missing or bouncing his fists off Kameda's sides and arms.

10-9 Kameda

90-81 Kameda

 

Round 10

Naidjala reaches for the body from outside. Triple hook by Kameda. 1-2 by Kameda, and Naidjala is knocked back a step. Left hook on the chin by Kameda. Naidjala rushes in. Head clash. Naidjala circles out to his left, pumping a rapid light jab. Kameda cuts the ring off and takes a right hand clapping down on his neck while flurrying at Naidjala's body with hooks. Kameda circles right and moves in again, landing a left upper-hook on the gut before Naidjala ties up and pushes off. Weak jabs by Naidjala backing up, briefly squeezing Kameda's hips between his gloves and then fading off to his right.

10-9 Kameda

100-90 Kameda

 

Round 11

Kameda is bending his knees and sliding in quickly. Double jab and whipping right hook by Naidjala as he is backed into the ropes, all caught on the guard. Vicious double left hook downstairs by Kameda. Naidjala is pinned in the corner, where Kameda slaps at the back of his head with a cuffing flurry. Kameda is shoving Naidjala around the ring, digging his forearms into him. Left uppercut, straight right by Kameda, fast and sharp. Naidjala is flopping into Kameda, chest to chest, launching himself off to slap with big spindly hooks up top. Double hook to the body by Kameda with a quick shuffle inside, but Naidjala dances away, folding himself up to deny Kameda most of his target so the hooks land nearer his armpit than his trunks. Slapping hook by Naidjala at the bell after running out to get some extension on it. Naidjala definitely puncher better without Kameda right atop him but still doesn't show much power. Arm punches, and they're very skinny arms...

10-9 Kameda

110-99 Kameda

 

Round 12

Kameda is ducking in, meeting Naidjala in the center of the ring each with their forearms bundled together, colliding and bouncing apart. Body shots by Kameda. Naidjala jabs into Kameda's guard ineffectively. Kameda dashes in and drops a right hand on the crown and darts outside. Naidjala tosses a wide jab while circling to his left, distancing himself. Kameda flurries on the body. Hook to the face by Kameda skirting around Naidjala. Clinch by Naidjala, right arm wrapped around the back of Kameda's neck. The ref pries them apart. Kameda pushes in low, slapped on the back of the head by some Naidjala hooks. Body shot by Kameda.

10-9 Kameda

120-108 Kameda
