Former champ Deok-No Yun (9-2, 7 KOs), 167.25, impressively regained his WBO Asia Pacific tremendous middleweight belt when he avenged his earlier defeat and forfeiture of the title in Japan, battered defending titlist Tyson Koki (17-6-3, 14 KOs), a 6’3” southpaw Japanese at 168, all the way in which and at last halted him with a towel fluttering in from the dethroned champ’s nook at 2:02 of the seventh spherical in a scheduled twelve on Friday in Seoul, Korea.
It was Koki of their first encounter that survived a nasty go to to the deck with Yun’s opening strong proper, resumed preventing and shortly landed a countering southpaw left, pulverizing the Korean within the first give-and-take spherical this June. It was such a stunning scene that the flattened loser Yun obtained a cramp in his legs like Ingemar Johansson in opposition to Floyd Patterson in 1961. The sturdy Korean, on this rematch, maintained the stress and outhustled the awkward champ, steadily piling up a degree in each spherical. The seventh noticed Yun speed up his assault to batter him from pillar to publish, prompting the champ’s nook dropping by the wayside. After the well-received stoppage the bloodied Tyson Koki stayed flat on the canvas for minutes.
The semi-windup noticed a vibrant feather speedster Ha-Nok Shim (12-2, 5 KOs), 125.75, flooring Khusniddin Marimov (4-3-1, 2 KOs), 125, a Uzbekistani southpaw, within the first and tenth rounds, and purchased the vacant Korean nationwide featherweight belt by a unanimous determination (97-91 98-90 twice) over ten hard-fought rounds. The WBO AP supervisor Leon Panoncillo was impressed with Shim’s great hand velocity and expertise on this eye-catching victory. Shim, with a brightening hand velocity, could also be price watching.
