Araya down in 40 seconds! Kumagai not here to make up numbers! Crowd well into this one. Araya has recovered but 10-8 round!
Kumagai start fast and in Araya face, body shot from Kumagai, Araya having success now and Kumagai on ropes taking big shots, Araya try silly upper and miss by lots, Araya hurts Kumagai...and Kumgai down...referee waves off with seconds of round left. Not sure on that stoppage. Araya TKO2
We rather not have more fighter in hospital, but that stoppage far too soon. Mandatory 8 would have been right. Then decide if he okay to fight. IF fight get stopped after that then all good. Chief support bout Shogo Sumitomo (6-8-1, 5) x Jo Tanooka (12-3-3) I like Tanooka, he good boxer, but no power.
A bit of a Hirofumi Mukai feel when I watch Tanooka...a fair bit of skill but...I've seen 12 year old girls with more power
Very good Tanooka round, Sumitomo looking tired in corner. Not going to be beaten up by Tanooka but frustrated seems likely.
Tanooka landing at will, Sumitomo looking very tired, Tanook ups the work load...Sumitomo stumbling...towel comes in! Tanooka get first stoppage!
