Having upset world rated national 122-pound champ Toshiya Ishii this January, tricky southpaw ruler WBC#13 Jun Ikegawa (10-1-3, 4 KOs; amateur 51-15), 121.75, so often caught game but limited challenger JBC#10 Kenshin Oshima (9-5-1, 5 KOs), 121.75, with crisp southpaw lefts that the ref finally called a well-timed halt at 2:06 of the seventh round in a scheduled ten on Tuesday in Tokyo, Japan. It’s Ikegawa’s initial defense of his belt that fully demonstrated his cleverness and trickiness, outclassing the one-dimensional challenger. We wish to see a rematch of Ikegawa and hard-punching ex-champ Ishii who used to be Naoya Inoue’s sparring partner for years.
Promoter: Dangan Promotions.
