Quick-rising Japanese sensation, WBA#11, WBO#8 Jin Sasaki (16-1-1, 15 KOs), 146.5, saved his WBO Asis Pacific welterweight belt by battering compatriot Hiroto Hoshi (5-3-3, 3 KOs), 147, into submission at 1:44 of the eleventh spherical on Saturday in Hachioji, Japan. Sasaki, a younger tiger at 21, had dethroned Ryota Toyoshima by an upset stoppage, and impressively flattened world rated Keita Obara in his preliminary protection. Although an early knockout win was anticipated, Jin took time to halt Hoshi as a result of his super sturdiness. Lastly Sasaki caught up with him with a flurry of punches that prompted the referee’s well-received intervention.
Promoter: Hachioji Nakaya Promotions.
