I'm not a Kameda fan in the least, but he definitely was the busier of the two and I had him winning the fight. Pong has his moments, but he was hardly accurate or busy enough. It looks to me that by awarding Pong the victory, it sets up a 5th meeting between him and Naito. -
i had it 114-113 for wonjongkam
it was a hard fight to score. kind of a koki would do good then wonj would do good type fight.
its weird but koki doesn't seem that experianced in there for being such a vet. if he went after him more he was the bigger guy, that would of won it for himComment

Not an upset at all in my opinion.
Not a lot of casual fans understand that Wonjongkam is a hell of a fighter.
We don't get much coverage over here in the states but the guy is knocking on ATG status at or around his weight class with his resume'.
He's 20-1-1 in world title fights. That's impressive.Comment

19-1-1 unless one counts the two interim title fights he had between Naito IV and Kameda which would make it 21-1-1 (and, really, they shouldn't count those two...interim fights are bs)Not an upset at all in my opinion.
