    A big night of boxing in South Korea in Incheon.


    The rematch of Vince Paras who lost in 2018 by unanimous decision in a close match against Hiroto Kyoguchi was defending his IBF World Strawweight title.


    This time, the fight will take place at flyweight, 2 weight categories above their previous bout.



    Hiroto Kyoguchi, 30, is currently one of Japan's top boxers, with 18 wins (12KOs) to 1 loss. He is the former IBF World Minimumweight Champion and former WBA World Flyweight Champion.



    Kyoguchi is currently ranked 11th by the WBC, 2nd by the WBA, 4th by the IBF, 6th by the IBO, 4th in the world by Boxrec, 2nd nationally in Japan.


    Vince Paras "J-Vince", 25, currently has 20 wins (15KOs) to 2 losses and 1 draw. He recently beat Kai Ishizawa by split decision.

    He is currently ranked 9th by the IBF, 31st by the IBO and 27th in the world by Boxrec.




    Undercard --->

    - Masataka Taniguchi 30 years old former WBO Minimumweight WorldChampion, currently ranked 25th in the world by Boxrec at Middleweight will face Jaysever Abcede 29 years old Filipino boxer at Middleweight with a record of 22 wins (13KOs) for 13 losses.

    Always great to see kyoguchi, and I know it's common in Japan for an ex champ to have to work his way back into the title scene when losing by KO, especially since he's moved up a division but I'm still disappointed kyoguchi isn't fighting for a title or a good contender. it's conceivable they do what they did with tanaka and take a soft touch for one of Rodriguez recently vacated titles.

    Good fight. Paras has been around forever it seems but is only 25.

    Damn, feel really bad for Kyoguichi, always seemed like a nice guy who was dedicated to what he does. Haven't watched the fight yet but judging by the reaction of both men at the end it was really close and could have gone either way (?). Paras immediately going over to the busty ring girl to hug her is funny as **** though.

    I guess the Koreans still haven't gotten over WW2, because they really stuck it to the Japanese today.:lol:

    It's sad for Kyoguchi but it confirms what I feared he should return to Light Flyweight.

    I only stuck around till rd 6 and while it was competetive i thought Kyoguchi's overall work is cleaner.

    They straight up robbed Kyoguchi. No way did he lose that fight.

    I saw a picture on Twitter of them standing side by side in some lobby. Not sure if it was before or after the fight. Paras really likes her :p

    Agreed. I saw the last 6 rounds and it looks like he robbed big. Everyone on Twitter gave Paras 2 rounds at most.
