Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2015-11-28, very nice and tough fight between Carlos Cuadras and Koki Eto: it is close to get four stars!The undefeated Carlos Cuadras entered this fight with a pro boxing record of 33-0-1 (26 KOs=79%) and he is ranked as the No.2 super flyweight in the world (currently the #1 in this division is Naoya Inoue). The only man who stopped him in a draw was Jose Salgado in 2014 (=Cuadras vs Salgado), after this bout he has won three fights beating Dixon Flores in his last one (=Cuadras vs Flores).
His opponent, the former interim Wba flyweight champion Koki Eto, has a record of 17-3-1 (13 KOs=76%) and he entered as the No.11 in the same weight class. He suffered his last loss in 2013 when he faced Yodmongkol Vor Saengthep (=Eto vs Yodmongkol), since then he has won three consecutive bouts defeating Yuki Fukumoto in his last. ‘Principe’ Cuadras vs Eto is valid for the WBC World super flyweight title (Cuadras’ fourth defense).

A fight which deserves to be watched. Full of action with rounds 2 and 9 being the better in my opinion. The fight was full-time controlled by Cuadras that totally out-boxed Koki with his master moves around the ring making almost impossible for him to connect any of his punches. Cuadras did an excellent body work however, in spite of, Koki was able to reach the end of the fight with still enough gas.
The judges cards don’t reflect reality but two of them were very close, I have 118-110 in favor of Cuadras, In my opinion, more than that for Koki is difficult to justify.
Cuadras has a lot of guts going to defend his title in Japan. The results there, most of the time, are controversial when a world title is contention and a few competent champions were robbed accordingly..
