Naoto Takahashi vs Jong Pil Park Jan 12 1991 Korakuen Hall, Tokyo

Park was the Korean Featherweight champion but lacked much in terms of fire-power, with just 6 stoppages from 17 wins. Despite that lack of power the Korean dropped Takahashi hard in round 2 of their bout and despite a spirited effort from Takahashi, he was looking like a man who had simply taken too much. That was seen, sadly, in round 9 when the then 23 year old was given a standing count before being knocked out cold from a sickening right hand that left him flat on his back.
After the bout Takahashi was revealed to have suffered a brain haemorrhage, that forced his retirement from the sport.
