Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2015-05-09, nice and close fight between Tomoki Kameda and Jamie McDonnell: it gets three stars.The undefeated Tomoki Kameda entered this fight with a perfect boxing record of 31-0-0 (19 knockouts) and he is ranked as the No.3 bantamweight in the world (currently the #1 in this division is Shinsuke Yamanaka). He fought twice last year beating Pungluang Sor Singyu and Alejandro Hernandez (=Kameda vs Hernandez).
His opponent, the former Ibf Bw champion Jamie McDonnell, has a record of 25-2-1 (12 knockouts) and he entered as the No.13 in the same weight class.

Very good technical fight. I had Kameda winning 114-113 but it coulda gone either way.
Excellent Boxing Fight. These are the type of bouts good for boxing. Needs to be seen more in the heavier divisions.
I had Kameda winning by 2 rounds but many rounds were very close. I think Mcdonnell lost the fight in the first 4 rounds however. Kameda started to run out of gas it seemed mid to late but still nicked enough to win.
I don’t agree with the result because I had also Kameda winning but for slight margin. The first part of the fight was all Kameda but then the fight leveled but never to the point to have Jamie as a winner after having suffered a knock down in the third round. The judges haven’t considerations for the mentioned knock down neither nor for the undefeated record of Kameda before failing in favor of Jamie. Kameda shown also that he is a better technical boxer than Jamie and by far more accurate and faster.
