Mugen IV (Japan vs. Philippines) - Seita Ogido vs. Jonathan Refugio RBR

Beautiful left hooks on the liver by Kotani while turning & stepping around Laspinas or after smothering his flurries.

 

Some clubbing rabbit punches on the inside by Laspinas in frustration. His only connects of the session, no lie.

 

30-27 Kotani

 

Kotani taking a knee and claiming he got thumbed in the eye there? Just saw a flurry of hooks from Laspinas, couldn't really tell what happened.

 

Breaking news! Apparently in the co-main event, Go Onaga's originally scheduled Filipino opponent (11-2 Jake Bornea, who fought Andrew Selby in November) has been replaced last minute with unbeaten 12-0-2 Ryan Lumacad!

 

This is just a laser-accurate right hand lead pot shot clinic when Kotani stays on the outside.

 

Kotani's last defeat, as it happens, was a TKO9 at the hands of a Pinoy journeyman... in 2012, here in his home of Okinawa no less.

 

Both shipping BOMBS in the eighth!

 

Laspinas really cranked in some right hands down the stretch there and landed a good number of them flush, snapping Kotani's head back sharply. Maybe if this had been scheduled for longer he could've brought all those TKO9 nightmares back and repeated his countryman's result..
