Boxing In Japan: Cazares, Nashiro Draw In WBA Title Fight

A battle for the WBA super flyweight belt was waged today at The Prefectural Gymnasium in Osaka, Japan.

Local hero Nobuo Nashiro was making the second title defense of his second WBA reign and faced Mexico’s Hugo Fidel Cazares over twelve rounds.

Ex-WBO light flyweight kingpin Cazares was the more experienced man and brought a three bout win streak to Osaka following his hard fought but failed bid to unseat Ivan Calderon for the Los Mochis man’s former title.

Once the bell rang, Cazares pressed the champion in an effort to take the result out of the judges’ hands but after 12 rounds of give and take action, the fighters were too close to be separated on the cards, resulting in a 116-112, 114-114 and 112-116 draw.

Nashiro keeps his WBA title and goes to 13-1-1 (8), while Cazares returns to Mexico empty handed after a huge effort with his record now standing at 30-6-2 (22).
