  Kobe, Japan (Sports Network) - Japanese challenger Daiki Kameda captured the WBA flyweight title from defending Thai champ Denkaosan Kaovichit in a unanimous decision at World Memorial Hall.

  The 21-year-old Kameda (16-2-0, 11 KOs) wore down the older Kaovichit, 33, in the latter rounds in a rematch of last October's flyweight title match -- a majority decision in favor of Kaovichit (48-2-1, 20 KOs).

  This time around, Kameda took a convincing victory with the judges scoring the bout 116-110, 116-110 and 114-112.
