Highly favored due to his Kudura victory, Nagahama, in his initial defense, suffered a knockdown in round seven, which had the contest turn in favor of the game and gallant challenger.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">After the eighth, it was Toyoshima, formerly a kickboxer, that was leading on points\u201477-74, 78-73 twice. The champ desperately attempted to turn the tables, but Toyoshima&#8217;s retaliation with a higher work-rate kept him from displaying his last surge.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Promoter: Kadoebi Jewel Promotions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Attendance: 633 (under the JBC&#8217;s regulation at the Korakuen Hall).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Toyoshima won welterweight OPBF belt By Joe Koizumi Photos by Naoki Fukuda In a battle of aggressive compatriots, unheralded Ryota Toyoshima (13-2, 8 KOs), 146.25, wrested<span class=\"excerpt-hellip\"> [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":44244,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[121,120],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-44246","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-main-news","category-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wbcboxing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44246","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wbcboxing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wbcboxing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wbcboxing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wbcboxing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=44246"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wbcboxing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44246\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wbcboxing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/44244"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wbcboxing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44246"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wbcboxing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=44246"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wbcboxing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=44246"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
