The scores were 113-112, 114-110 and 114-111. Mirua himself was down in the fight as well, when Thompson caught him in the eight. Photos by Ala Montiel and Sumio Yamada.

"I still haven't seen it. I don't have foxdeportes and I was watching the HBO card. I'm waiting for someone to upload it. I hope someone does it soon because it sounded like a great fight...."

"A Japanese champ went outside his country and beat the local guy in a war. That's what I like to see.Nothing but respect for Miura. I hope he will be ok."
