Laguna lost by a 5th round TKO to Masayoshi Nakatani, a 22 year old who improved his record to 3-0 with 2 knockouts while Laguna dropped to 12-9-2 with 8 knockouts.
It was Laguna?s third successive defeat having lost by a unanimous eight round decision to Motoki Sasaki on January 14 this year and previously losing twice to Thailand?s Chonlatarn Piriyapinyo.
