A couple of promotions, however, took place on Monday at the same arena Azalea Taisho in Osaka, Japan. On a night bill, unheralded Hiroyuki Hisataka (16-6-1, 5 KOs), 115, decked an important upset victory as he outpunched WBC#4 flyweight contender Hussein Hussein (31-4, 24 KOs), 114.75, to score an unexpected unanimous decision (98-92, 97-94 and 97-95) over ten hot rounds. Hisataka, a crisp-punching 22-year-old local prospect, had lately suffered three setbacks in a row to Kenji Yoshida in a national elimination bout, Panomroonglek Kratingdaeng-gym for the WBC youth title in Thailand and Wyndel Janiola by a controversial nod in the Philippines. But the youngster fought well and piled up points over the more experienced prefight favorite who had fiercely battled Jorge Travieso Arce twice.Undercard: Formerly two-time world challenger, 32-year-old skillful speedster Hidenobu Honda (29-5, 14 KOs), 118, earned a nearly shutout verdict (99-92 twice and 99-91) over Masayoshi Nishi (8-7-2, 4 KOs), 117.75, over ten. Tetsuya Hisada (9-4, 4 KOs), 112, chalked up a TKO win over Masatsugu Okada (8-11-3, 3 KOs), 115.25, at 0:56 of the tenth and final session. Promoter: Green Tsuda Promotions.On a daytime bill starting at 1PM, Junichi Yamaguchi (7-2, no KO), 109.75, dispatched overmatched Thailander Petchek Sithkornpolkanpim, 109.25, at 1:21 of the eighth session in a scheduled ten. The Thai loser tasted fifth KO defeats in as many bouts here in Japan.

looks like the end is near for hussy, if you cant beat a guy with 3 losses in a row, you will be struggling....
Sounds like Hussy is really at the twilight of his career. I think his 1st fight with Arce took a lot out of him. Was one heck of a fight but it took it's toll imo.
Thought Hussy would win this 1 & look good in doing so. Obviously Hussy is at the end of his career now & it could be time to call it a day.
bad luck huss,youv had sum wars,and been great for aussie boxing,and maybe its time to give it away,n go into training.
Yeah imo it did take alot out of Him that 1st war. It is a shame that fight never got much recognition. Onew of my fav fights.
