Quick read

Kyoji Horiguchi dominated two-and-a-half rounds against Manel Kape before a momentary lapse led to a fight-ending knockout in round three. Horiguchi had controlled the bout with his signature speed, landing a leaping left hook and effective body kicks while neutralizing Kape's aggression, but chose to linger after a combination rather than disengaging — giving Kape the opening he needed. Despite the devastating finish, Horiguchi is regarded as a special talent deserving of a future title opportunity.
