Boxing Challenge-Mid-Week from Japan

A brief note on the boxing challenge with two unusual mid-week championship bouts from Japan that saw Ramon Malpica and myself gain two points each from different matches.
I haven't seen the Roman-Matsumoto encounter as of this writing, so no insight from yours truly!

In the first of the two (not on the same card) California's Danny Roman retained his WBA junior featherweight title for the first time with a unanimous decision over Ryu Matsumoto.
Roman was reported to have won the bout by a wide margin despite being unable to score a knockdown.
Roman has been rumored to make his HBO debut in his next defense in what could be a unification fight against WBC champion Rey Vargas.

Meanwhile, a mess in the bantamweight division as Luis Nery steamrolled Shinsuke Yamanaka in two rounds in their rematch for the WBC 118 pound title.
Yamanaka had defended the title 12 times before being surprisingly stopped by Nery in the fifth round last August and was supposedly considering retirement after the loss.
Nery then tested positive for a PED and was not stripped by the WBC, but was ordered to face Yamanaka in an immediate rematch, who accepted reportedly because of the failed test.

Nery repaid the sanctioning body and Yamanaka by showing up and weighing 123 pounds!
What that meant was that Nery would have been one pound overweight for a junior featherweight title fight, let alone one in the bantamweight division!
Nery sacrificed the title on the scales, but Yamanaka went ahead with the fight after getting the usual bonus money for fighting a bigger (and unprofessional) fighter and would win the championship, should he win.
However, what usually happens in these cases did- the heavier fighter that didn't push himself to make weight came bigger and fresher and overpowered the fighter that did what was expected of him.
Nery knocked Yamanaka down four times in the fight and finished him off in the second round.
I suppose this is the last fight for Nery at bantamweight since he clearly cannot be counted to make weight and it was the last fight period for Yamanaka, who announced his well-deserved retirement after the fight.

Ramon Malpica picked two points for Nery's win and I added two for Daniel Roman's victory.
I lead the challenge 28-23.
