"Hiroshi Kobayashi of Japan retained his junior lightweight championship Sunday night by gaining a split decision over Panama's Antonio Amaya in a free-swinging 15 round bout. Amaya opened a cut next to Kobayashi's left eye in the 10th round and blood from that cut heavily spattered the white trunks of both fighters by the end of the bout. The fight was nearly even through the first six rounds. In the 7th however, Kobayashi landed several hard body punches and a right to the head. The second half of the match was marked by close-in slugging and numerous punches, but neither fighter was able to land damaging blows." -Associated Press Unofficial AP scorecard - 73-69 Kobayashi Venue - Kuramae Sumo Wrestling Arena Attendance - 4,000 (app.)
