When it comes to Mixed Martial Arts on Kaua’i, Eben Kaneshiro is literally the “King of the Ring.” The 1997 Kaua’i High School graduate went into his latest fight March 12 with high hopes of capturing the 145-pound X-1 World Event “Champions III” title belt.
But after a valiant effort, Kaneshiro fell to Oahu fighter Ricky Wallace by way of TKO in the second round at a packed Blaisdell Arena.
“Came up short tonight,” he said.
