Nasukawa, now 8-0 (2 KOs), faced a tough but determined Santillan, who entered the ring with a respectable 14-2 (5 KOs) record. The bout was marked by Nasukawa’s technical superiority, particularly his ability to adapt and counter from both the outside and in close quarters. Though Santillan managed to test Nasukawa with sharp jabs and hooks, opening a small cut above the Japanese fighter’s left eye in the fourth round, Nasukawa remained composed.
