In an ugly rematch marred by holding from both fighters, challenger Daiki Kameda outpointed Thai champion Denkaosan Kaovichit to finally win the WBA flyweight title just minutes ago at World Memorial Hall in Kobe, Japan. Judges Stanley Christodoulou and Glenn Feldman saw the fight 116-110 while Judge Pasquale Procorpio saw it 114-112, all for the Japanese Kameda.
21-yr old Kameda, who lost his first title shot to Denkaosan by majority decision last October in Osaka, improved his record to 16-2 with 11 knockouts. He joined his older brother Koki Kameda, the WBC champion, at the top of the flyweight ladder.
Denkaosan dropped to 48-2-1 with 20 KOs.
