Kameda edges De La Mora to retain titleWBA bantamweight champion Koki Kameda (26-1, 16 KOs) was able to edge previously undefeated Mexican challenger David De La Mora (23-1, 16 KOs) at the Nihon Budokan in Tokyo, Japan. The scores were 114-113, 115-113 and 115-112. Kameda's knockdown in the third round was a big key in the scoring.
He predicted a very tough fight and he got it, as the bout became more of a chessmatch with Kameda looking for openings in every round and neither fighter being too aggressive, which made some of the rounds much closer than needed. Source: WBA (by Miguel Rivera, Photo Sumio Yamada)
Kameda outpoints De La Mora in 12-round title defenseWBA bantamweight champion Koki Kameda successfully defended the title for the second time in a unanimous decision over Mexican challenger David De La Mora on Wednesday. Kameda sent De La Mora to the canvas with a left counter punch in the third round and continued to wrack up points afterward in the 12-rounder at Nippon Budokan. The 24-year-old Kameda improved to a 26-1 record, including 16 knockouts. De La Mora, 23, appearing in his first world title bout, slipped to 23-1 (16 KOs). "De La Mora is a young and talented fighter. It was a good fight," said Kameda. "I have to train harder. I will just do my best in each match." Earlier, challenger Tomonobu Shimizu won a split decision over champion Hugo Cazares to claim the WBA super flyweight crown in his third crack at a world title. The 30-year-old Shimizu improved to a 19-3 record, including nine knockouts, with one draw. Cazares, who was making his fifth title defense, slipped to a 35-7-2 record (25 KOs). Shimizu circled around Cazares, hitting the Mexican champion with a stinging left jab while throwing blows to the body. The Japanese fighter controlled most of the bout, except for the middle rounds where Cazares forced him back in a slugfest. "I feel like I have finally realized my dream now that I have the belt wrapped around my waist," said Shimizu. "Usually I would have been in trouble when Cazares came at me like he did during the match, but my training paid off," he said. |
