Kaovichit Decisions Hisataka In Dull Fight
By Jason Kim: Making his first defense of his World Boxing Association flyweight title, Denkaosan Kaovichit (47-1-1, 20 KOs) defeated Hiroyuki Hisataka (17-8-1, 8 KOs) by a 12-round split decision on Tuesday night at the Central Stadium, in Uttaradit, Thailand. The bout had little action other than jabs, clinched and occasional head butts between the two fighters. Neither Hisataka nor Kaovichit had much power and were content to tap away with light shots for 12 rounds. From the 8th round on, it was mostly punch and clinch from the champion Kaovichit, 32, who didn’t look very impressive in the fight to say the least.

Kaovichit, 32, from Thailand, landed a huge right hand to the head of Sakata near the end of the 2nd round, causing Sakata to stagger backwards and fall to the canvas. It took Sakata several moments to get up off his back, finally making it to his feet at the count of eight, but totally unsteady on his feet.
