He successfully defended his belt in January by forcing Jose Alfredo Rodriguez of Mexico to retire in 8 rounds in China.Ancajas started out slow in the opening rounds, feeling out his foe first. In the third round, he was able to cut Kinoshita&#x27;s right eye with a series of stinging lefts.By the 6th, Kinoshita was virtually fighting with only one eye as his right eye was already closed. This forced him to brawl with the Filipino.Ancajas saw this as a perfect opportunity to unload the right hook to the body that doubled Kinoshita over.The Japanese was still able to beat the count, but the referee saw him unfit to continue and handed the technical knockout victory to Ancajas 1:53 in the 7th.Ancajas now has 27 wins, a loss and a draw, while Kinoshita dropped to 25-2-1.In the undercard, Pacquiao&#x27;s cousin Jonel Dapidran lost via unanimous decision against Australia&#x27;s Brent Dames.Dames had it 58-56, 58-56, 59-55 against Dapidran in the junior welterweight match.For more sports coverage, visit the ABS-CBN <a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com" target="_blank">Sports website.</a>
