Kenshirō Teraji vs. Seigo Yuri Akui & Anthony Olascuaga vs. Hiroto Kyōguchi - Round by Round.

Quick thoughts before the main event. I had Iwata winning 115-113. Second time for Iwata to be hard done against a Puerto Rican for the belt. The 118-110 and 117-111 were bizarre to say the least. End goal is probably to match Santiago against Collazo for the belt in the not so distant future.

I had Olascuaga winning 115-112. Good, competitive fight. The 11th round KD was a flash knockdown, but it was the right call to make. Kyoguchi was his first real test as a champion, and he did a solid job. Showed different aspects of his arsenal. I even felt like in moments that Anthony took it easy against Hiroto in the last portion of the fight.

As for the main event. Akui is very tough. Kenshiro in my opinion should start out fast, bombs away to hurt Seigo as quickly as possible. Otherwise Akui will take Teraji in deep waters, and possibly grind him until Kenshiro can't take it anymore. Teraji is incredibly tough and resilient, but Akui is a bigger guy than the likes of Yabuki and Canizales.

Also why is the venue so small. I figured such a card would be in an arena with a bigger capacity.

Well, Teraji won the entrance music competition for the night for sure.

 

So sad for Kyoguchi is this his last fight ??

I'm so hyped for Seigo Yuri Akui & Kenshiro Teraji

 

Akui looks zoned in and ready.

 

Akui is tough but I think Teraji will be too dynamic for him.

Let's go Kenny Boy.

 

Well he is not the same since he have his girlfriend and when he lose against the Vince Paras he think about to be retired on the next lose so...

 

We can see that Akui is very experienced the guy was in the ring with Dalakian, Masamichi Yabuki and Nakatani he is very underrated

 

I give the two rounds for Akui for the moment 10-9

10-9
