    Lacking the knowledge, I can't speak from a stylistic point of view. From a looking at their careers perspective, I will take Ohba by decision. Ebihara was a very good flyweight with some good pop. He beat some top notch opponents but he also lost his fair share of those fights. Ohba's career was cut short due to to an automobile accident but despite dying at the age of 23 he achieved a lot. He probably had as many really high quality wins as Ebihara and hos only loss to a top fighter came when Ohba was just 18 years old.

    Ohba was just growing into his greatness and I believe he was a level or two above Ebihara.
