In a contest ballyhooed as gBattle of Beautiesh, newly crowned WBA light-minimumweight champ Ayaka Miyao (10-1, 1 KO), 99.75, kept her belt as he floored grudge rival Masae Akitaya (8-4-2, 3 KOs), 101.75, in the sixth session and pounded out a unanimous decision (98-91, 98-92, 96-93) over ten give-and-take rounds on Tuesday in Tokyo, Japan. The pretty girls kept swapping hot and fast rallies all night, but Miyao proved a little more accurate in catching the moving target. Miyao, who had dethroned Mari Ando in her previous bout, may respond to the ex-champfs demand of a rematch in the next defense.
