Hard-swinging Japanese WBC Light Flyweight World Champion 佐藤政道 Masamichi Yabuki (13-3, 12 KO's) of Nagoya, Aichi, weighed-in at 107.6 pounds (48.8 kilos), while challenger, former champ 寺地拳四朗 Kenshiro Teraji (18-1, 10 KO's) of Uji, Kyoto, stepped in at 107.4 lbs. (48.7 Kgs), ahead of their hot rematch for the WBC world strap tomorrow, Saturday March 19, at the City Gym in Kyoto, Japan, live on ABEMA TV.
