In a grudge fight after their drawn game in the first encounter this January, perennial top contender Takashi Miura (16-1-2, 14 KOs), 130, captured the national super featherweight title by scoring a dramatic TKO victory over WBA#12 defending champ, previously unbeaten Yoshimitsu Yashiro (21-1-2, 12 KOs), 129.75, a lanky southpaw, at 0:30 into the seventh session. The left handers hit the deck four times in total to show a grueling war. Miura, a stocky flat footed puncher, caught the champ with a vicious southpaw right hook to drop him in the closing seconds of the second, but Yashiro dropped him with a left cross in the next. The champ was in command in the fourth and fifth, utilizing his accurate combinations and shifty footwork. Miura, however, turned loose in the sixth, when he had the fading champ on the deck twice with a barrage of punches. Though Yashiro gamely went out fighting, he looked still so shaky and wobbly that his corner tossed in the towel with good timing. Promoter: Teiken Promotions.
