Torres edged by Yamasaki in Black Cup Korea decision

Isiah Torres (9-5-1) squared off with Sora Yamasaki (9-1) at Black Cup in Korea on August 29 in a high-stakes flyweight clash. 'The Sniper' looked dangerous on the feet early, controlling range with a crisp kick game and keeping Yamasaki on the defensive.

Yamasaki responded with relentless takedown pressure, dragging the fight into grueling ground exchanges where Torres spent long stretches defending. Even trapped on his back, Torres nearly stole the show with a slick submission attempt that brought the arena to life.

The judges ultimately handed the decision to Yamasaki — a result that drew raised eyebrows after several unchecked blows to the back of Torres's head during the contest. Torres now aims to channel that resilience into the Black Cup Final Round in Mongolia this December.
