Former WBO bantamweight titleholder Tomoki Kameda dropped Pipat Chaiporn en route to a one-sided 10-round unanimous decision Friday night at the Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan.

Scores were 100-88, 100-90, and 99-90 in favor of Kameda, who has now won two bouts since losing close back-to-back decisions to Jamie McDonnell in 2015.

Kameda was in control throughout and knocked the Thai fighter down with a right hand to the head in Round 6.

This was the first time that Kameda has fought on Japanese soil in over three years. In recent times, the 25-year-old boxer-puncher has trained in Mexico City, even fighting on a Zanfer Promotions card last October.

With the win, Kameda improves to (33-2, 20 knockouts). Chaiporn falls to (42-10-1, 25 KOs).

In the co-feature, former two-time world title challenger Ryo Akaho won a 10-round unanimous decision over Yushi Tanaka.

Scores were 98-92 twice and 98-93 for Akaho, who has now won his last four bouts.

The fringe bantamweight contender improves to (30-2-2, 19 KOs). Tanaka falls to (19-2-3, 13 KOs).
