Kid Yamamoto defends the Lightweight title!
Okay, so I need to be crystal clear here - this "swollen eye stoppage" was not some bullshit stoppage. (I mean it is, but that's not the point). Kid was DOMINATING Chandler here. Chandler was ready for unconsciousness since near the end of the 3rd round, and the 4th was more of the same. Swollen eyes or KO, this was all Kid. This should help remove the doubts some of us have about Kid's legitimacy. Dominating Mike Chandler is no small feat nor fluke.
