Nashiro and Cazares Battle To a Draw in Japan
By Mark Vester
In what ringside observers described as a close fight, Nobuo Nashiro (13-1-1, 8KOs) retained his WBA super flyweight title by battling the always tough Hugo Cazares (30-6-2, 22KOs) to a draw in Osaka, Japan. The scores were 116-112 for Nashiro, 116-112 for Cazares and 114-114 for the draw. Nashiro is the "regular" champion and Vic Darchinyan is the WBA's "super" champion.
Cazares was said to have started very strong in the early rounds but faded as the fight went on. Nashiro was able to take control in the second half of the fight when Cazares slowed down.
