Raito Kataoka TKO9 Ar Ar Andales... Korakuen Hall in Tokyo served as the venue for an Ohashi Promotions show feturing three Orient and Pacific Boxing Federation (OPBF) title fights. In the clash for the vacant OPBF light flyweight championship, Japan's Raito Kataoka (3-0) became the regional ruler after a strong performance against experienced Filipino contender Ar Ar Andales (19-3-3). Kataoka took control of the contest from the opening bell, showcasing exceptional footwork, sharp jabs, and quick combinations that effectively neutralized his opponent’s attack. At the end of the fifth round, all three judges’ scorecards reflected total dominance in favor of the local fighter at 50-45. Kataoka’s control continued in the second half of the bout thanks to a mix of body and head strikes. In the ninth round, following a brief exchange after an accidental clash of heads, Kataoka unleashed a combination that forced referee Shuji Tereyama to halt the action at 2 minutes and 56 seconds. The bout was officially supervised by Tsuyoshi Yasukochi, with Kazutoshi Yoshida, Koji Tanaka, and Gil Co serving as judges.
Shogo Tanaka TKO8 Sho Nogami... Meanwhile, the flyweight division delivered a dramatic twist in the mandatory championship clash between defending Japanese monarch Sho Nogami and contender Shogo Tanaka. Nogami (8-1) started strong, scoring an early knockdown with a left hook to the body followed by a right hand to the head. Controlling the opening rounds with rhythm and precision, the champion remained ahead on the scorecards after five rounds with identical scores of 48-46. However, Tanaka steadily increased the pressure, closing the distance and landing with greater impact. His perseverance paid off in the eighth round when he floored Nogami with a short right hand before launching a relentless follow-up attack that forced referee Tetsuya Iida to stop the contest at 1 minute and 26 seconds. With this spectacular comeback TKO victory, Tanaka (6-0-1) sealed an unforgettable performance to become the new OPBF flyweight champion. The match was supervised by Tsuyoshi Yasukochi, with Tetsuya Iida refereeing and scorecards rendered by Koji Tanaka, Takeshi Okaniwa, and Katsuhiko Nakamura.
Toshiya Ishii W10 Ryuya Nihei ... Finally, in super bantamweight bout, Japanese titleholder Toshiya Ishii successfully completed the first defense of his regional crown by outpointing countryman Ryuya Nihei via unanimous decision. Ishii set the pace from distance behind accurate jabs, left hooks to the body, and crisp combinations, while Nihei attempted to respond with overhand rights and hooks from unorthodox angles. By the midpoint of the contest, open scoring showed the champion leading on two cards at 50-45, while one judge scored it 48-47 for the challenger. Maintaining relentless pressure down the stretch with body work and sharp one-two combinations, Ishii neutralized Nihei’s brave efforts through the final bell to secure the victory with official scores of 97-93 and 100-90 (twice). The bout was supervised by Tsuyoshi Yasukochi, with Koji Tanaka refereeing and judges Kazutoshi Yoshida, Shuji Tereyama, and Tetsuya Iida scoring the contest.
