Quick read

Kyoji Horiguchi controlled large portions of his fight against Manel Kape, outworking him with the left hand and successfully executing takedowns before a single right hook turned the contest. Kape, who had switched stances from southpaw to orthodox moments before landing the knockout, demonstrated the kind of one-punch power rarely seen at flyweight. The finish has positioned Kape as a deserving title contender, while Horiguchi is considered capable enough to earn another shot at the belt in the future.
