By Daily Sports on October 2, 2017

Hisashi Amagasa announced he would hang up his gloves for good after suffering defeat from the hands of Filipino boxer, Richard Pumicpic (20-8-2, 6 KOs), 125.5, who impressively acquired the vacant WBO Asia Pacific featherweight belt as he pounded out a unanimous decision (117-111, 115-112, 115-113) on Friday in Tokyo, Japan.

over twelve lopsided rounds.

The 5’4” Filipino kept boring in and battering the much taller Japanese by seven inches nearly all the way, steadily piling up points.

The former world challenger Hisashi Amagasa (33-7-2, 21 KOs), 126, once had an ambitious crack at the WBA 122-pound belt against Guillermo Rigondeaux, dropping the champ twice despite his eventual TKO defeat in 2014.

Amagasa didn’t show any of his usual zip and strength, absorbing much punishment by the jolting attacks of the energetic Filipino whose stamina looked abundant and whose fighting spirit was unlimited.

Amagasa retaliated just in rounds four and eight.
