i dont agree, i saw, yaegashi throwing a lot, bot not landing a lot. a lot of his body stuff was good tho. but not only did ioka land the harder blows, but he also peppered him with the jab all fight. that scores points. yaegashi flurried at times but how much landed? even in looking at the fighters faces, etc, its easy to see ioka's defense was good enough to block most of the blows.
on a side note, yaegashi's best punches were his uppercuts both to the body and to the face, i think he even stunned ioka in the 5th round. the round still ended up being close.
