Ancajas doesn't have good timing, and he looks tired now. Inoue is very disciplined to still keep his game plan at work; the counter-punching is working well for him, and the fight has just ended. What happened was the most unexpected, and that is Inoue won via KO, that body shot though. I think Ancajas is done here; he is not the same anymore, even a boxer that doesn't have a high KO rate has knocked him out.
Sorry for the lost bets, guys. That's gambling; at least the fight wasn't boring because Ancajas was really attacking and would always want to go for a kill, but his timing is off, and he doesn't have the power to KO the champion.
In round 3 I thought Ancajas was very slow and his timing was off, Takuma Inoue may not have his brother's power but he has his brother's speed, Ancajas missed a lot of big shots Takuma is beating him and he caught Ancajas with a lot of counter punches, it was not a boring fight and anyone can go down anytime when they exchanged blows until Ancajas was hit by a kidney punch.
Two great Filipino fighters just lost because of the body punches tonight this is indeed a bad night of boxing for the Filipino boxing fans, Takuma landed a perfectly timed kidney punch and we all know once you are hit with a kidney punch it takes the oxygen out of the body, and every effort to stand is futile.
Now we only have Casimero to carry the Philippine flag in boxing, ever since Pacquiao retires in boxing there's no new prospect, it seems the great era in Philippine boxing has ended because of these two losses, another Filipino fighter remaining now is Mark Magsayo, who just scored a knock out against Avelar in his featherweight debut.
I just hope there is still good fights remaining for Ancajas this is a bad year for Filipino boxers.
