Ōshima getting defeated.
Ōshima had an upcoming fifth JBC lightweight title defence match against first ranker Shinobu Iga. When his match arrived, he went to the Kōrakuen Hall. After a flashy entrance with many female fans giving him flowers, the match began. For the first five rounds, Ōshima overwhelmed Iga with speed, hitting him with direct hits that don't do major damage and hits to his guard while dodging Iga's body blows. Ōshima tried to counter one of Iga's body blows near the end of the fifth round, however, Iga blocked. In the sixth round, Ōshima continued to try and counter Iga's body blows, getting closer to succeeding the more he attempted. However, when he got Iga's timing down and was about to throw a successful counter, Iga stepped in and hit Ōshima's jaw instead, causing him to go down. The referee immediately ended the match, resulting in Ōshima's defeat.
