Crazy Kim victorious!
By Joe Koizumi
The OPBF 154-pound champ Crazy Kim (24-3, 21 KOs), 153.5, Japan, kept both his regional and Japanese national belts as he dropped top ranked lefty compatriot Tatsuki Kawasaki (18-2, 14 KOs), 153, with a solid right in the fourth and made him a bloody mess before the ref called a halt to the lopsided affair at 0:35 of the ninth round on Tuesday in Tokyo, Japan. The shaven skulled Kim proved why he changed his nom-de-grace to Crazy Kim from Toshiharu Kaneyama when he shouted in the post-fight interview in the ring, “I’ll knock out De La Hoya!”
