Did Koki Kameda throw low blows in the 6th round against Carlos Bouchan to save face, when he was bragging about winning in 5 rounds ...Bouchan genuinely took some hard body shots and was hurt, but did the low blow rather than the body shots do him in? TBS didn't show too many replays...Bouchan's coach was upset and protested the low blow...Kameda's coach/ dad came in the ring to face him off, and even pulled Kameda back to their corner while Bouchan was a good sport and acknowledged the loss was fair...though the crowd seemed somewhat unfulfilled and sedated.

Overall, Bouchan's quick left jab kept Kameda from really fighting his normal dominating game while he was able to land some hard body shots and hooks, Bouchan was able to keep his distance and not allow Kameda sustained combinations. A couple times Bouchan took some hard body shots, covered up and stopped punching but he recovered quickly and countered back, and generally threw two punches for every one Kameda threw, though not as damaging. Some of the brawling exchanges were like watching two heavyweights fighting...and they went toe to toe for a while..but the ending was anticlimactic...
