Tanaka starting strong landing a couple of clean shots, an uppercut rocks Kimura a bit. Kimura comes back strong with a strong right hook, both fighting head to head at the inside, Tanaka overall landing much cleaner and harder shots although Kimura countered well from time to time. A left hook is hurting Kimura badly in the last 45 seconds, he looks a bit shaken and is wobbling but surviving the round with a solid defense.

Round 1: 10-10
Round 2: 9-10
Round 3: 9-10

Tanaka is taking over here, he is moving around Kimura with ease and throwing big hands and he is landing them. Kimura already looks hurt and slowed down, he isn't throwing much in the first half but landing a good left hook there. Kimura trying to work to the body but Tanakas defense is very good, some of those bodys shots are very low but the ref isn't complaining so is Tanaka. Overall a decent round for Tanaka.

3-0 Tanaka

We might have the Japanese Ward vs Gatti on our hands if Kimura can hold up.

 

3-0 Tanaka but all 3 rounds have been awesome, he's putting a lot into these rounds

 

Kosei is going to have to go through hell to get this win. This fight is the definition of heart vs skill.

 

Move your head Kimura!

 

This is quite beautiful boxing from Tanaka and almost a master class but he’s leaving himself a little too open and you get the feeling that Kimura is looking to time him one time with something big over top. Still have it 4-0 Tanaka though

 

Round 4
Tanaka 10-9
Tanaka 40-36
