The warrior from the Land of the Rising Sun Toshihiko Era (6-1, 5 KO's) scored the most telling win in his boxing career by demolishing Thai boxer Detnarong Omkrathok with a crushing body shot in the fourth chapter to claim the vacant Asian Boxing Federation (ABF) Super Flyweight title today Thursday, April 11, at Ram 100 Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Kingdom of Thailand.
In the co-main feature, Japanese samurai Yuya Nakamura (10-3-1, 7 KO's) of Osaka 🥊🥊 survived a huge scare in the second round to stop experienced Filipino Rollen Del Castillo (19-17-2, 9 KO's) of Cebu in an intense and quick non-title rumble in the bantamweight division.
Pinned against the ropes absorbing a rough attack dished out by Nakamura, Del Castillo managed to sneak-in a sharp counter right to the chin of the Nippon boxer rocking him down on his posterior for an eight-second count.
Once up, Del Castillo pressed the action over the still very groggy, unsteady Nakamura who somehow entered a perfect punch to the Filipino's mid-section propelling him to the canvas flat on his back where he then rolled gassed-out in pain till waved off.
The knockout triumph re-inserts Yuya Nakamura into the winning column after being vaporized by unbeaten Filipino former WBA interim bantamweight champion Reymart Gaballo (21-0, 18 KO's) last February in Manila.
This time, Yuya Nakamura got his victory moving his career forward, wanting another complicated mission.
