Seigo Yuri Akui Pulls Off Upset, Outpoints Artem Dalakian To Win WBA Flyweight Title

Seigo Yuri Akui wins WBA flyweight title, ending Artem Dalakian’s reign: Highlights

The Armenian flyweight—based out of Kiev, Ukraine—fought at a distance with his hands low and forced the first-Akui to follow him around the ring. Akui—who entered his first major title fight—took advantage of those moments and came forward in his best attempt to impress the three neutral judges.

Akui began to find a home for his right hand which landed cleanly—even if only one at a time—in the middle rounds. Dalakian quickly adjusted and landed chopping left hooks as he set traps along the ropes. Akui jumped out to a strong start and let his right hand fly in round eight.

Dalakian clinched whenever Akui gained any momentum and reestablished his desired distance. The defending titlist used constant lateral movement to frustrate Akui, though the regional favorite cut off the ring and was able to corner Dalakian late in the round, where he landed a clean left hook. Dalakian ultimately paid the price by allowing Akui to dictate the pace in the final three rounds.

Akui followed the fleet-footed Dalakian around the ring and gave the impression that he controlled the action. Dalakian rocked Akui with a stiff jab in round ten, which briefly rocked the year-old Okayama native. It was the last notable moment for Dalakian, who was outworked in the championship rounds. Akui applied heavy pressure in his best effort to close the show. Akui is known for his pressure and punching power, but Dalakian made him miss with his vaunted right hand and constantly resent his feet while in pursuit.

Akui was hesitant to let his hands go in combination but, to his credit, he never stopped trying to cut the ring off on the elusive and frustrating Dalakian, who appeared to tire out in the late rounds. Akui had most of his success after Round 8, finally cornering Dalakian for more than a few seconds and landing right hands and some hooks. Round 11 looked like a clear round for Akui, but most of the rounds appeared like a game of slow cat and fast mouse that favored the Ukrainian.
