In a classic battle for the Sengoku middleweight title, Jorge Santiago and Kazuo Misaki went toe-to-toe for 24 and a half minutes Sunday in Tokyo before Misaki’s corner threw in the towel with just 30 seconds left in the fight, handing Santiago a victory in a bout he was on the verge of losing by decision.

“I proved to everybody here what a champ is made of,” Santiago said afterward. “This is the way a champion fights. This is the way I always want to fight.”
