Title Fight Results (May 26)

The titleholders as expected prevailed in the 2 flyweight bouts today. First was the relocated WBC Flyweight title fight as Japan's Daisuke Naito won via a unanimous decision over China's Xiong Zhao Zhong. According to reports since I didn't see the fight is that Naito survived a sixth round knockdown and cuts over both eyes. It seems like the Chinese did well and made significant strides for Chinese pro boxing. Unfortunately, they're not yet ready to host but at least they're ready to box. Naito seem to have underestimated Xiong and almost paid dearly for it. He moves on yet is not likely to look for fights against other titleholders. He will probably fight another Japanese favorite in Koki Kameda or the interim titleholder Pongsaklek Wonjongkam for the fifth time where he is 1-2-1 against him. ESPN; Boxing Scene; Fight News

As for the other flyweight title fight which again does not have any TV or streaming video coverage, Thailand's Denkaosan Kaovichit narrowly kept his WBA Flyweight title with a split decision win over Hiroyuki Hisataka of Japan. If things don't pan out for Naito with his prospective challengers, a unification with Kaovichit will give some credence to the flyweight division specially with the most recognizable titleholder in Nonito Donaire likely to move up to the 115-lb. class.

Prediction Results:
Naito was the one who almost got stopped mid-fight but still overcame.
It wasn't a wide decision but at least Kaovichit still prevailed.

My record is now 31-4-2. No changes in the tally.
