Result: Syuri Kondo def. Chan-Mi Jeon via Split Decision (28-29, 30-27, 30-27)
#3 Shinsho Anzai vs Luke Jumeau
Shinsho Anzai may have well surprised a lot of his critics, me included, by returning as sharp and technical as he did, outworking and somewhat surprising Luke Jumeau.
Anzai did very well for a fighter coming off a relatively long layoff and won the vast majority of sequences; outpointing Jumeau for a shut-out on the judges’ scorecards.
Result: Shinsho Anzai def. Luke Jumeau via Unanimous Decision (29-28, 29-28, 30-27)
#4 Daichi Abe vs Hyun Gyu Lim
Hyun Gyu Lim seems to have excellent power in his hands, but seldom does he connect on his opponents, what with most of his strikes being windmill punches thrown at air.
However, on the 3-4 occasions that Lim connected on Abe, he rocked the latter. Nevertheless, the judges were impressed by Abe’s defence much more than they were by Lim’s aggressiveness; handing Abe the decision victory.
Result: Daichi Abe def. Hyun Gyu Lim via Unanimous Decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)
