The Japanese media continued to criticize the judges' scoring in Koki Kameda's controversial split decision victory over Juan Landaeta yesterday to claim the vacant WBA 108-pound title.  Japan Today said Kameda "appeared to look plain ordinary, if not completely lost... never appeared to hurt the top-ranked contender and he was fortunately saved by the bell" in the 11th round. The official scores of 114-113, 115-113 for Kameda, overruling 115-112 for Landaeta, reportedly caused "boxing experts at ringside to
question an 'inexplicable ruling' that will go down in infamy in Japanese boxing," continued the Japan Today article.  Kameda is a national celebrity in Japan and the most popular boxer in the nation thanks to his brash personality, so much so that Japanese television devoted an entire evening of programming to cover the Kameda-Landaeta bout.
