RJ ANO-OS WINS BY SPLIT DECISION IN JAPAN
By Rene Bonsubre, Jr. PhilBoxing.com Wed, 24 Jul 2013

RJ 'Sharp' Ano-os of the RWS Gym of Cebu revived his flagging career when he beat Kuninobu Shimamura of Japan by split decision in a fight held last Tuesday in Tokyo, Japan. Their eight round non-title bout was on the undercard of the WBA world bantamweight title bout between champion Koki Kameda of Japan, who beat his Filipino challenger John Mark Apolinario by unanimous decision.
Two judges had it for Ano-os at 77-75 and 76-75, one had it for the Japanese at 76-75.
This was Ano-os? first win since 2011, when he beat Joan de Guia in Liloan by first round knockout. He suffered back to back losses last year - a 6th round KO loss in Dumaguete City at the hands of Joseph Von Minoza of the ALA Gym and the unanimous decision loss to Takashi Miura in Japan.
The 22 year old Ano-os improves to 8W-4L-D, 2 KO?s while the 28 year old Shimamura drops to his third loss at 15W-3L, 10 KO?s. Ano-os was accompanied by RWS Gym trainer Juanito Ablaca.
The youngest Kameda boxing brother, Tomoki Kameda, will be challenging WBO bantamweight champion Paulus Ambunda of Namibia here in Cebu on August 1 at the Waterfront Cebu City Hotel.
