WBA flyweight champ Daiki Kameda (19-2, 11 KOs), 112, very barely kept his belt as he eked out a highly controversial split decision over totally aggressive Silvio Olteanu (11-4, 3 KOs), 112, European titlist of Romania, over twelve lousy rounds on Sunday in Saitama, Japan. The scoresheets were as follows: Jose Roberto Torres (Puerto Rico) 115-113 and Levi Martinez (US) 116-112, both for the defending champ Kameda, while Roberto Ramirez (Puerto Rico) saw it quite differently 118-110 for Olteanu. The referee was Pinit Prayadsab (Thailand).

The 32-year-old Romanian looked dominant and aggressive throughout the monotonous contest. Olteanu was the aggressor all the way. Probably the champ’s severe reduction of weight caused Kameda, 21, to be too sluggish to throw many punches only to retaliate with a punch at a time. The champ was said to be a hard-puncher, so his by far fewer punches might have been evaluated only by the two judges, but Olteanu, a soft-punching but much busier speedster, seemed to have controlled the bout and was apparently robbed.

I haven't seen it yet, and a robbery wouldn't surprise me (they never do in boxing) but Koizumi usually comes off as unusually harsh on the subject of Kameda's.

That's true... I'm not screaming about anything though. I missed this card but hopefully will review it a bit later...

Seriously, I like Joe Koizumi and I prefer the classy guys like Hasegawa, too, but he is a known hater with a capital H of the Kameda-clan. Far from objective when it comes to them. I think one can hate on their father (who is disgraceful) and some of the actions of Daiki and Koki as much as you want, but credit where credit is due. Both won their fights deservedly today and they are both at a very impressive level already, considering they are only 21 and 24. Maybe not as good as their ridiculous hype in Japan might suggest, but why should anyone have a problem with boxing doing well for itself for a change...

I think Olteanu should have won.Another hometown cooking.

Beat me to it. Koizumi is a ****ing tool. Some of the stuff he has written about the Kameda family and their boxing is ridiculously biased.

He's like the Micahel Marley and Ronnie Nathanielsz of the Japanese world....meaning, a complete and utter ****ing ******.
