Unbeaten prospect Keisuke Matsumoto (12-0, 8 KOs), 126, impressively made his fourth defense of his Japanese national feather belt when he decked JBC#7 Kimihiro Nakagawa (10-7-2, 5 KOs), 126, three times and for the count at 2:25 of the second session of a scheduled ten on Thursday in Tokyo, Japan. Shaven skulled Keisuke such as Isaac Pitbull Cruz (the son of formerly three-time world challenger Koji) connected with a beautiful right to the button of the challenger, sending him to the deck.
