Miyazaki breathlessly made the contract weight of 108 pounds, but temporarily collapsed at the scale because of svere dehydration. It was reported that Miyazaki didn’t have a good condition for this fight.

From the start Miyazaki looked sluggish, and took a long left from the son of ex-IBF world champ Fhalan Sr. (54-4-3, 23 KOs; now retired) from Thailand. Miyazaki, apparently slow due to the bad effect of weight reduction, couldn’t move well in round two. He took a sharp and long left of Fahlan in round three, when the Thailander landed a left-right-left combination and dropped the ex-champ to the deck. Miyazaki barely stood up but wobbled so badly that referee Fukuchi wisely counted him out.

It was really a shocker because Miyazaki, regarded as a strong small man, unified the WBA 105-pound belt by winning a majority decision over interim titlist Jesus Silvestre last September. It was regarded as just a tune-up bout for Miyazaki, but his failure to make the 108-pound contract weight properly deteriorated his condition and thus caused a shocker.

We just wonder why his handlers didn’t negotiate with Fahlan’s manager at least a week before to amend the contract weight should Miyazaki be so overweight, since it was just a non-title bout. It wasn’t a professional deed.
