Quick read
Kyoji Horiguchi suffered a heartbreaking knockout loss to Manel Kape despite dominating large portions of the fight. Horiguchi effectively used his speed, left hook on the jump, and grappling to outwork Kape across the first two rounds, but a decision to stay in close and throw an additional punch in the third round opened the door for Kape's decisive counter. Despite the loss, Horiguchi's overall skill level remains elite, and there is hope he will receive another title opportunity in the future.
