Hard-swinging Japanese WBC Light Flyweight World Champion 佐藤政道 Masamichi Yabuki (13-3, 12 KO's) of Nagoya, Aichi, weighed-in at 107.6 pounds (48.8 kilos), while challenger, former champ 寺地拳四朗 Kenshiro Teraji (18-1, 10 KO's) of Uji, Kyoto, stepped in at 107.4 lbs. (48.7 Kgs), ahead of their hot rematch for the WBC world strap tomorrow, Saturday March 19, at the City Gym in Kyoto, Japan, live on ABEMA TV.
Both men looked super serious, focused, strong and fit during the official weight-in ceremony, being anybody’s guess who will emerge victorious from battle. What’s your take?

Yabuki on the scales.
Or will the heavy-handed champion Yabuki, 29, repeat the same series of lethal punches that rocked and stopped Kenshiro, proving to fans that he is a Flyweight King to stay?
