Kape stops Horiguchi with late third-round KO in flyweight clash

Manel Kape knocked out Kyoji Horiguchi in the third round after being dominated for much of the fight, landing a decisive right hook when Horiguchi lingered in range after his own combination. Horiguchi had controlled the first two rounds with sharp counter-punching and takedowns but made a critical timing error that Kape capitalized on. The finish extended Kape's knockout streak to four consecutive in the flyweight division, placing him atop the all-time KO list in the weight class with five stoppages.
