Boxing Daily Report from the AI Japan-Kanagawa promoted show at Yokohama Tominaga, Yokohama,  taking place on 08/05/2045:

Next up is the main event of the show.  This is a semi final eliminator for the Japan-Kanagawa Super Bantamweight title.  

Looking to impress the boxing fans in attendance, the two fighters competing in this 10 round matchup are Kazuhiko Kobe (4 - 10(2) - 2) who hails from Yokohama, Japan and Jiro Sakuma(13 - 11 - 4) from Kawasaki, Japan.  Both Kobe and Sakuma weighed in at 122 pounds.
