EX-WBA 115-POUND CHAMP TODAKA DECKS SECOND COMEBACKING BOUT


August 11, 2002

NAGOYA, JAPAN-Ex-WBA 115-pound champ Hideki Todaka (19-3-1, 10 KOs), 119.25, displayed an impressive one-punch KO of former Thai champ Saencharoen Mahasapcondo (8-8-1, 2 KOs), 117.5, with a smashing right at 0:48 of the 4th round in Nagoya, Japan.

Having had his jaw broken by Venezuelan Leo Gamez in forfeiting his WBA belt via 7th round KO in October 2001, Todaka was forced to take a long layoff without fighting in the previous year. Todaka, a rugged puncher, decked his second comebacking bout as he showed his previous form in producing a flattened pancake.

Undercard:

Japanese #5 super-feather Tsuyoshi (Kinzo) Nakamura (17-3-1, 8 KOs), 132, almost swept all rounds without the final session to earn a unanimous decision over Filipino Raffy Aladi (27-20-1, 12 KOs), 131, over 8.

Promoter: Midori Promotions.
