There were no knockdowns, but Yota Sato dominated the fight since the beginning with his great handling of jab combined with uppers and right blows.

The judges’ cards were: Louis Moret from US, 119-109, Chan Soo Kim from Korea, 116-113 and David Bilocerkowec from Canada 118-110.

With this victory Yota Sato (20-3-1, 15 KO’s) successfully defended his WBC superflyweight title that conquered last March by UD over former champion Suriyan Sor Rungvisai in Tokyo.
