Nice fight with a lot of activity showing a good body work from the Japanese boxer that produced a susccessful knock out in round 11. The fight was quite close close up to round 9 but with advantage for the Japanese. From there on the younger Ioka took control in front of a deteriorated Reveco who was cut above the left eye.
