Unbeaten WBA super-feather champ Takashi Uchiyama (17-0, 14 KOs), 130, kept his belt as he came off the canvas in the third, took back the initiative and hurt game southpaw compatriot Takashi Miura (20-2-2, 16 KOs), 130, with stinging lefts to score a stoppage after the eighth round on Monday in Tokyo, Japan. Miura claimed that he had lost his vision on the right optic, so his corner declared he would give up going on.
