Live updates from - Ishimoto Vs Fujihara / Ogawa Vs Sugita

Just began on G+

Opening bout Yuya Gunji (0-0) Vs Daiki Kameyama (0-0) 4 rounds at Light Flyweight

 

Gunji is the smaller chap, a Watanabe gym fighter, appears to be gutsy and is a southpaw. Kameyama is a taller, naturally bigger looking Teiken fighter and who looks the puncher in the early stages. Good early action, swings both ways but Kameyama seemed to do enough to claim the opening round.

 

Gunji looks to getting forced into his shell by the jab of Kameyama, still fights back but he is being forced backwards.
Also apparently there's some sort of news in regards to a May 16th show, I couldn't read what it said though =/

 

Round 3 is a better one for Gunji who is having success in spurts, but the heavier stuff seems to come from the Teiken fighter again, A very close round.

 

Gunji fighting on instincts in the dying seconds and is rocked, but throws them hands anyway, great final minute, but think Kameyama had done enough anyway for a 3-1 or 2-1-1 type decision

 

Looks like Kameyama got a split or majority decision, he deserved it but yet I actually want to see Gunji again rather than the winner

 

Second bout Daiki Funayama (2-2-1, 1) v Makoto Iitsuka (2-2-1, 1) another 4 rounder

 

Lively start to this one. Funayama is a Teiken gym fighter fighting from a southpaw stance, Iitsuka is an orthodox fighter from the Kaneko Gym (Hidenori Otake is the biggest name there), plenty of action again but neither look like they have much in terms of power...HOWEVER Iitsuka was cut at the end of the round.

G+ keep flashing something up about the May 16th show

 

Iitsuka down in round 2, shook his hand a lot when he got up but is continuing to fight on...rocked again and again...holding on for dear life...bell is 8...7...rocked again....3..2..1 he sees out the round

 

In the early stages of round 3 Iitsuka was staggered...dropped and then had the fight waved off.

 

Bout #3 - Yuta Horiike (9-5-3, 2) v Silapachai Sithcharnsing (8-7, 2)*

*Boxrec list the Thai as a debutant

 

The Thai seems to be the "Latvian cab driver" type of fighter that Eddie Hearn liks to use, he shouldn't be competitive, might last given Horiike's lack of power though

 

Then again the Thai has pretty poor defense so might get stopped sooner rather than later...and he's down in round 2

 

...down again, body shot done the damage...up at 9 and a bit...and is actually fighting back a bit now...
but more body shots kill his fight back and he's down for a third time...back up more than a minute left...Horiike lands a couple of shots and the bout is instantly stopped....

 

Fight #4 Shohei Kikuzato (10-2, 5) v Jayar Diama (7-6-5, 3)
