Combat sports fans have seen plenty of great and important battles take place at the Saitama Super Arena over the years and we can now add another to the list, as a light flyweight unification years in the making finally took place! WBC champ Kenshiro faced off with domestic rival and WBA/Ring champ Hiroto Kyoguchi in a bout as eagerly anticipated among boxing hardcores as any other in recent memory!

The fight itself ended up playing out as relatively one-sided, but there were enough thrills while the action lasted to make it a worthwhile watch as well as a historically significant title unification bout. So listen to me break down just how Kenshiro made it look so easy, what it means for the division as it stands, and what it means for shaking up the historical landscape of the truly terrific 108lb weight class.
