    Unification you say? Japanese champs rarely do that since they prefer to have as many proud titleholders as possible, but minimumweights Kazuto Ioka and Akira Yaegashi put their titles on the line on June 20.

    Ioka is a rising star at 23 with just 9 pro fights, he packs a great punch and has fast hands, while Yaegashi is a surprise titleholder having upset Pornsawan Porpramook last year. This is maybe the most important fight since Calderon left the division, the winner hopefully fights the talented Nkosinathi Joyi.

    Unbeaten WBA super-featherweight champ Takashi Uchiyama (18-0, 15 KOs), Japan, will put his belt on the line against Filipino hard-punching southpaw Michael Farenas (34-3-3, 26 KOs) in Saitama (close to Tokyo), Japan, on July 16. Uchiyama, making his fifth defense, wishes to extend his KO streak to six in world title bouts since he dethroned Juan Carlos Salgado via twelfth-round dramatic stoppage in January 2010. Also announced was the WBC flyweight mandatory title bout, where newly crowned Sonny Boy Jaro (34-10-5, 24 KOs), a free-swinging Filipino, will risk his belt against Japanese ex-Olympian Toshiyuki Igarashi (15-1-1, 10 KOs) on the same bill. Jaro stunned the world by demolishing long-reigning champ Pongsaklek Wonjongkam by an unexpected sixth-round TKO in the defending titlist’s home turf Thailand. Igarashi, a former representative in Olympic Games in Athens, is a fast-punching southpaw dependent on speed and skills, while the champ Jaro is a power-puncher as he so impressively dispatched Pongsaklek. It will be a couple of confrontations between Japanese and Filipinos to be co-promoted by Watanabe and Teiken Promotions.

    I'm hearing the Kameda retention this morning - his 6th of the WBA bantamweight crown - was super dodgy.

    If it was indeed a gift, that's arguably four in his reign...basically any time since Munoz that he didn't stop the opponent, the consensus has been that he didn't earn it on points.

    I definitely had him losing against De La Mora.

    Ruiz & Manakane did enough.

    Now this random Thai.

    Koki and this other Japanese icon have something else in common...

    How did nearly a year pass without a bump? :huh

    Stuff has been happening in Japanese boxing, man.

    Happening...with nary a peep from the politely riveted fans.

    Edit your title, Bone, you slacker.

    (unless you can't anymore, in which case let me know what you'd like)

    Tomorrow morning there is a triple-header which IMO is 20x more exciting than Kameda's from today.

    Igarashi vs. Yaegashi could well be FOTM/Y so far.

    Yamanaka vs. Tunacao is nice itself.

    Gamaliel Diaz and Takashi Miura had a heated press conference, getting under each other's skin. I'm looking forward to that one too.

    Apparently this will be streamed live on Youtube. Anyone heard any more on that? :huh

    any details on the Kameda fight?.. I would like to read other reports on the fight besides the normal correspondent Koizumi.. I love this thread as I enjoy the lower weight fighters tremendously... I know the Thai had a glossy record but had very little hope to win the fight according to his own managers via an article in the Bangkok post... at one point the Thai was supposed to be the heir apparent to Pongskalek's title and had been ranked #1 or #2 for a long time at flyweight.... hope he can gain some inspiration from his strong showing and drop down to 115 and win a title if the weight is not too tough to make....
