Hard hitter Takashi Uchiyama posted a third-round technical knockout victory over Oliver Flores on Thursday night, defending his WBA super featherweight title for the 11th time at Ota City General Gymnasium.

It was another no-sweat performance for Uchiyama, who won his previous bout in two rounds in May.

He took the pace from the opening round and sank his left fist into Flores¡¯s body in Round 3. The southpaw from Nicaragua wasn¡¯t able to stand back up and the bout was over.
