It's only fitting that Koki Eto picked up the biggest win of his career on the road, because he might have to fight outside of his native Japan if he wants to hold onto his newly acquired title.
A final round knockdown allowed Eto to edge out former 108 lb. titlist Kompayak Porpramook in their sensational 12 round flyweight brawl Thursday evening in ****kok, Thailand.
The win netted Eto an interim flyweight title, but his status won't go recognized by the Japanese Boxing Commission (more on that later).
Eto wasted no time in imposing his will on the Thai veteran, pressing the action early on and appearing to pick up a first round knockdown. The sequence was ruled a slip, but motivated the 25-year old into believing he could just throw caution to the wind and overwhelm his opponent.
Porpramook was grateful. So, too, were the fans in attendance as well as those watching at home on Thailand Channel 7 or on their online stream.
