Quick read

Kyoji Horiguchi controlled the first two rounds of his rematch with Manel Kape, repeatedly landing his signature quick-exchange combinations and rocking Kape with a leaping left hook in the second round. The bout turned in the third when Horiguchi lingered in close range after a double looking to land an additional left hook, allowing Kape to time and finish him with a right hand thrown from an orthodox stance after fighting southpaw throughout. Kape's stoppage win earned him a fourth consecutive knockout in the flyweight division and a deserved title shot.
