Kape stops Horiguchi in three rounds in highly technical flyweight clash

Manel Kape scored a knockout victory over Kyoji Horiguchi in the third round, ending a competitive fight that Horiguchi had largely controlled through his speed, footwork, and sharp counter-punching. Horiguchi wobbled Kape multiple times across the first two rounds but made a critical error in the third, pausing after a combination instead of disengaging, allowing Kape to land and finish. Kape's fourth consecutive knockout in the flyweight division extends his record as the highest knockout scorer in the division's history.
