In the seventh and eighth, Kameda's jabs won the rounds on points while a difficult moving target, while Naito threw power shots to the head and body with some effectiveness. Naito continued to throw power punches in the ninth and tenth, with Kameda counter-punching with jab combinations. Naito threw a lot of punches with Kameda's back to the ropes in an attempt to 'close the show' and won the eleventh as Kameda faded, countering with the left where he could.
