It was an affair of a 40-year-young nationwide champ defending his belt in opposition to a challenger, 39. Veteran late-bloomer Yuichi Ideta (19-6-1, 10 KOs), 153, impressively saved his Japanese tremendous welterweight belt when he swarmed over JBC#3 Hisashi Kato (12-13-2, 8 KOs), 153.5, and eventually halted him at 2:44 of the fifth spherical in a scheduled ten on Tuesday in Tokyo, Japan. Taking the tempo from the outset, the champ caught up with the southpaw challenger, dropping him twice in spherical 4. Regardless of his persistent retaliation Ideta accelerated his assault to immediate the referee Yoshida’s well-received intervention. It was Ideta’s third profitable protection to his credit score.
