    Round 1 Soto 10-9
    Round 2 Soto 10-9
    Round 3 Takayama 10-9
    Round 4 Soto 10-9
    Round 5 Takayama 10-9
    Round 6 Soto 10-9
    Round 7 Takayama 10-9
    Round 8 Takayama 10-9

    Takayama darting in and out, landing flurry after flurry. Soto's output has dropped, and he's looking a bit befuddled. Although Takayama is slowing as well. Soto starting to jab more ad digging to the body himself. Another razor close round. Takayama nicked it again on activity.

    7 - 1 Soto for me.

    Didn't think it would make it to the later rnd with a 37 year old taking fight on short notice. Takayama surprised the hell out of me.

    Can I just say 24ft rings look ridiculous and far too big.

    Can see why any ring over 20ft is banned from use in the UK.

    Round 8
    Takayama 10-9 Close
    76-76

    Takayama's performance kinda reminds me of Morales' performance against Danny Garica in the first fight.
