May 8, 2000
TOKYO, JAPAN-Having failed to win the Japanese national lightweight title via lopsided decision at the hand of Rick Yoshimura last Feb., once-beaten HIRONARI OHSHIMA(right photo), 137, returned to action and easily disposed of Thailand's No.8 ranked lightie MUANGMAI SISCHSOBHA, 136 3/4, at 2:59 of the second round.

The JBC No.3 ranked Ohshima, handled by ex-three time world junior middle champ Koichi Wajima, sank him with a single body shot to the side of the belly, and bettered his mark to 12-1, 8 KOs. Muangmai impaired to 8-5, 4 KOs.

### UNDERCARDS

JBC No. 3 ranked welter TEPPEI YASUDA, 146 3/4, earned a majority nod (dual 98-96 and 97-97) over a taller southpaw SHINICHI KOMATSU, 147, JBC No.6 welter, over 10. Yasuda remained unbeaten with a 9-0-1, 1 KO mark. Komatsu fell to 11-11-4, 5 KOs.

## LAST SUBSTITUTE NAGASE SINKS KOREAN LEE

May 10, 2000
TOKYO, JAPAN-Japanese middle champ Naotaka Hozumi was scheduled to appear in a main event, but suffered a hand fracture to be unable to fight as slated. His stablemate, JBC No.2 ranked welter TERUO NAGASE, 157, became a last-minute substitute, and found it easy to halt HYUNSIK LEE, Korean No.5 super-welter contender, 165 1/2, at 0:44 of the second session.

Nagase, who had upset ex-OPBF welter champ Hiroyuki Yoshino in his previous bout, landed a wicked shot at the breadbasket, and Lee fell down. His cornerman tossed in the towel, though he didn't seem to have suffered much damage.

Nagase raised his ledger to 18-5-1, 12 KOs. Lee dipped to 13-10-3, 8 KOs.
