Undefeated KO artist, former OPBF 122-pound champion, WBA No. 10 bantamweight Yoshiki Takei (8-0, 8 KO), 120.25, sank Mexican Mario Diaz (21-7, 9 KO), 120, with only one left-hander ahead. belly at 2:23 of the second round in a scheduled eighth under the Inoue-Tapales show on Tuesday in Tokyo, Japan. Takei, a lanky former martial arts fighter, had given up his OPBF belt to move up to the bantamweight class and follow the resignation of his stablemate Inoue. Takei’s long Juan Martin Coggi-style Latigo (whiplash) left hook was a big hit.
