Former WBA flyweight champion Seigo Yuri Akui (22-3-1, 12 KOs), 113.5, appeared for the first time since his forfeiture of his belt in a unification bout with WBC ruler Kenshiro Teraji this March, and displayed his power punching when he exploded a devastating right that penetrated the chin of Filipino Vincent Lacar (10-2, 4 KOs), 112.25, and knocked him out at 0:54 of the third round in a scheduled eight on Wednesday in Tokyo, Japan.
