In co main event hometown favorite Yu Kimura suffers MD loss to Ganigan Lopez-Lopez was too good for the Japanese fighter over the 12 rounds and a well deserving winner for the WBC Light Flyweight title.

Another bout in the undercard was Shuya Masaki vs tough Filipino Vergil Puton.
Filipino fighter Vergil Puton put in a brave effort yesterday night in Japan though came up short in an all action bout with the highly touted Shuya Masaki. The scores cards made this one look one sided but it really wasn't and Puton gave everything he had to give Masaki a genuine gut check.
