Only once beaten in his previous IBF eliminator with Ra’eese Aleem last November, WBO#4 feather Mikito Nakano (15-1, 14 KOs), 126, impressively dropped IBF#5 Lerato Dlamini (21-4, 12 KOs), 126, from South Africa, on three occasions and finally scored a fine TKO victory at 0:58 of the fourth round in a scheduled ten on Wednesday in Tokyo, Japan. The hard-hitting Japanese southpaw exploded his trademark devastating lefts, flooring the skillful footworker in the first, third and fatal fourth rounds, which had the audience at Korakuen Hall on its foot. Dlamini had previously fought Tomoki Kameda twice here, showing his high skills to share close split decisions on each occasion. But this time before he demonstrated his highly refined footwork, Nakano quickly caught up with him and collected an important victory.

Promoter: Teiken Promotions.
