In the super flyweight division, Japan’s Ayumu Sano (11-0-1, 5 KOs) claimed a commanding unanimous decision victory over the Philippines’ Reymart Tagacanao (11-1, 9 KOs) on October 25th at the Bishkek Arena in Kyrgyzstan. The judges’ scorecards told the story: 117-111, 119-109, and 120-108, all in favor of Sano, who showcased complete control over twelve rounds. The 22 year-old Japanese product executed a brilliant tactical game plan from the opening bell. Using sharp footwork, precise distance control, and pinpoint counterpunching, Sano effectively neutralized Tagacanao’s knockout power (the Filipino had entered the bout riding an eight-fight KO streak). For Tagacanao, the defeat is a setback but not the end of the road. At 26, he still possesses legitimate knockout power and the potential to bounce back stronger with refined tactics and valuable international experience.
