Taking on Hiroto Kyoguchi a short time ago Anthony Olascuaga held onto his world title in Japan today.
Fighting on a triple header world title boxing bill today in Japan the American got the victory on away soil.
Just about, as he retained his WBO world flyweight title by getting the decision on points.
Some heavy leather was thrown and big bombs landed in the fight, clearly.
But today was the 26-year-old from California’s day as he ran out victor by unanimous points decision over the previous two-time champion.
Both gave a strong effort but the man from the US wanted it more — which is often all it takes to get the win at this level at the top flight of professional boxing.
