It wasn’t the prettiest of contests, but James Nakashima (8-0) is now the LFA welterweight champion after earning a decision win over Derrick Krantz (20-10) in a 25-minute affair. The bout served as the main event of Friday’s LFA 23, which aired on AXS TV from Bossier City Hotel Casino & Hotel in Louisiana. The two fighters were quick to engage, with both mean throwing heavy leather to start the fight. A Krantz counter left scored a flash knockdown in the opening minute, but Nakashima popped right back to his feet. The two continued to exchange in the standup game, with both men favoring boxing attacks. Late in the frame, a Nakashima eye poke drew blood from Krantz’s left eye, and the doctor was brought in to assess the visible damage.
