Takuma Inoue (22-2, 5 KOs) ran a clean 12-round job on Kazuto Ioka (32-5-1, 17 KOs), controlling the distance with his jab and picking him apart for a wide unanimous decision. He set the pace early, stepping in behind the lead hand and landing the straight right with power. A sharp combination dropped Ioka late in the second, and a well-timed uppercut put him down again in the third, leaving him in catch-up mode.
Ioka kept edging forward and dug to the body when he could, though he couldn’t break Inoue’s rhythm. Inoue stayed disciplined, mixing straight rights, uppercuts, and tight combinations, slipping shots and turning Ioka as he reset his feet.
As the rounds wore on, Ioka’s workrate dipped and his nose began to bleed, while Inoue kept the jab in his face and added clean shots. Inoue closed the fight with clean punching and ring command, taking the cards 118-108, 119-107, and 120-106.
Jin Sasaki got the nod over ten rounds against Sora Tanaka on split cards of 97-93, 96-94, 94-96, securing the OPBF title in the last preliminary fight.
