(Sports Network) - Hozumi Hasegawa retained his WBC bantamweight title, while Edwin Valero kept his WBA super featherweight title Thursday night. Hasegawa (24-2, 8 KOs) scored a second-round technical knockout of Uruguay's Cristian Faccio (15-3). It was the sixth straight successful title defense for Hasegawa, who won the belt by beating Veeraphol Sahaprom in April 2005. Hasegawa dropped Faccio twice in the fight, which was stopped for good at the 2:18 mark of the second round.
Valero (24-0 24 KOs), a native of Venezuela, took out Takehiro Shimada (22-4-1) of Japan in a seventh-round TKO. Valero made the fourth successful defense of his belt, which he claimed in August 2006 with a TKO of Vicente Mosquera.
