[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

CHICAGO, UIC Pavilion - It wasn't pretty as reigning WBA super flyweight world champion Kohei Kono (31-8-1, 13 KOs) won a twelve round unanimous decision over former three division champion Koki Kameda (33-2, 18 KOs) as the televised opener of Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) on Spike. The scores were 115-109, 116-108 and 113-111.

It was the first time in history where two Japanese fighters collided for a world title on American soil.

Kono also turned back Kameda's attempt to become the first Japanese fighter to win four world titles in four weight divisions. [Click Here To Read More]

Fight was ruined by the ref

[Tony Trick-Pony]

Excellent fight all the way around. Really glad for the underdog, would love to see a rematch and I'm glad it was on free TV. This can help bring boxing back.

Kameda clan 0-4 on the year

Good win for Kono. He looked good, threw tons of punches and fought like he simply refused to lose. Kameda had gotten some favorable decisions at home, so interesting that he and his brother are not winning decisions on the road

Japanese are real warriors unlike Filipinos as who are afraid to fight each other.

The ref in this fight was utter garbage. He was on the brink of ruining a damn good fight. I'm glad someone pulled him aside and told him to stop ****ing up.

Good win for Kono.
