It was not expected to be a short fight but it did not last the full route when the referee stopped the fight to save Palicte from more harm with the barrage of punches from Ioka who have earned the 4th division title in his career. Palicte was quite good with his offensive in the first half of the fight but it seemed that he lost steam after the 6th round when Ioka started to dominate the fight until the stoppage in the 10th round.
