LMAO! If that fight had taken place in Argentina scores would read 120-108 x 3.

There was controversy?

The fight was very close and Ioka got a close decision in his home town to take the defending belt-holder's title. So it's not outrageous that there is a rematch, which will likely also be in Ioka's home town because that's where the money is for this fight.
