"Jose Medel, in winning a close but unanimous decision, left jabbed Sadao Yaoita from start to finish and was hit only a few times during the 10 round bout at Nihon University Auditorium. There were no knockdowns, but both of Yaoita's eyes were swollen at the final bell. A packed house of 9,000 watched the nationally televised fight." -Pacific Stars and Stripes
