Bout Summary

Fujioka, asserted her worthiness as pre-tournament favourite with a convincing stoppage of Mexico's Gutierrez. So convincing, in fact, that many among the fans on hand at Korakuen Hall went home believing that the Japanese dual champion will chop down all future foes when she gets the chance.

Guiterrez, confident in her dressing room of winning the fight, came out throwing serious punches, and gave almost as good as she got, especially with her combination punching.

It was more of the same in the second, as Fujioka endured multiple blows to the face as she surged forward, eager to find a home for her left hook. Which she landed, repeatedly, yet Guiterrez remained on her feet.

But for a lack of firepower and early swelling, Guiterrez may have attempted to retain the pace of the first two rounds, but unable to keep Fujioka off, she went into survival mode.

Fujioka content to drive close and land to the body, allowed Guiterrez to rest by working at long range and targeting the swollen eye for the majority of the middle rounds.

Round nine, saw the patient almost to a fault Fujoka dispense with biding her time, and adopt a never-step-back approach for the remainder of rounds. Her hard hooks, to the head and body had Guiterrez close to all but collapsing into a heap.

Guiterrez, her eye near swollen shut by round ten, never stopped trying, and went all-out in the tenth, applying pressure that appeared effective until a right cross shook Guiterrez to the core and found herself having to rely on her defensive reflexes to see the round out.

The eleventh round, Fujioka's straight punches zipped between Guiterrez's wide and wild blows with enough steam and frequency to demoralize the Mexican. A vicious toe-to-toe exchange allowed Fujioka to land punch-after-unanswered-punch on the one eyed Guiterrez. Pinned in the corner, held up only by the ropes as a hail of blows land, the referee halts the fight... for the ringside physician to examine the eye. Luckily the doctor sees sense and stops the fight.

Fujioka moves to, 9-0-0 (6), whilst Guiterrez drops to, 17-4-0 (4).
