Kazuto Ioka didn’t waste time figuring out bantamweight. Four rounds and it was finished. No drama. Just steady pressure, clean work to the body, and that look he gets when it all comes easy. Maikel Ordosgoitti took the shots well at first, until he didn’t. Those body punches don’t shout loud, but they end things the same.
The first round was quiet. Ioka circling, hands loose, eyes sharp. Jab just enough to make Ordosgoitti think. The Venezuelan sat on center, tight guard, hoping to time something over the top. He never got the read.
When Ioka Started Digging
Second round, the punches sounded different. Ioka’s hooks started echoing off ribs. Not wild, measured. Hit, move, look. Then that left to the body. Ordosgoitti went down slow, folded like someone trying not to make a noise. He got up, but the breathing told the rest. Ioka didn’t rush. Just found the same spot over and over.
By the third, Ordosgoitti’s legs had the shake of a man trying to hide damage. He threw back in twos, threes, missing long. Ioka stepped inside and went to work. Short uppercuts, body taps that weren’t taps. You could hear the air go out of him. Same look you see from sparring partners after too many rounds with a guy who knows where to hit.
End Of It
Fourth came fast. Ioka doubled the jab, slipped left, dropped the shot that finished it. Same left to the body. Cleaner. Ordosgoitti went down and stayed there, arms tight, head low. Ref didn’t bother counting. You could tell it was finished before he hit the floor.
Ioka walked to the corner like it was sparring day ending. No shout, no chest beat. Just the nod. Business handled.
He’s 36 now, new at 118. Looked settled. Sharp enough, mean enough. The kind of form that makes people stop thinking about old losses for a minute. The headlines’ll talk eliminators and title shots, but this one wasn’t about that. It was simple. One man setting a pace, the other man breaking from it.
Routine work. Finished clean.
Don’t get why everyone’s hyped about this guy again 🤨 Just cause he landed some liver shots? Come on now… that ain’t enough to call him great.
It ain’t about hype bro it’s about how clean he did it. Nobody else at that weight hittin like that right now.
Ioka too old to be actin like this win mean somethin big. He beat a nobody and now people talk titles? Let’s see him against someone who punch back.
I think Ordosgoitti just gave up. He didn’t even try after round two. If you in a ring, you gotta act like you wanna win it 🥊.
He didn’t give up man, he got broke down bad. You can’t fake gettin hit like that in the ribs, it hurt for real.
Respectfully Carl, maybe watch the fight again? Ordosgoitti got worked by someone who knew exactly what he was doing.
I don’t care what people say, body shots ain’t real boxing. Real fighters go for the head. This Ioka guy just took the easy way out with gut punches 🤷♂️.
Nah man, body shots are what real pros use. You try takin one and then talk. Ioka showed skill not weakness 💪.
Tony you wrong bro, those body hits stop fights all the time. That’s smart fightin not lazy fightin.
