Kazuto Ioka vs. Maikel Juvéncio Ordosgoitti Berenguel & Daiya Kira vs. Iván García Balderas RBR

Once more unto the breach!

Doors open at 1500 (3pm) local time in Tokyo, which equates to 1am EST. Card runs from 1600-2100 local time on Lemino - which is 2-7am EST/7am-noon GMT.

I'm taking a gummy and going to sleep now with a 5am EST alarm to be on time for the co-main & main event.

...how's that for a clarion roll-call?

 

Just read they're holding off the main event until 8pm local time (which is half an hour from now, 6am EST).

Daiya Kira vs. Iván García Balderas ended a while ago -

Spoiler

Kira winning by KO

- so it's a fairly long gap.

 

Allegedly there's going to be a live stream of the main event on TikTok Live...

 

This is a live commentary stream by Shigeru Okabe & Ken Takayanagi:

As of now they're still yapping to each other, so ring walks haven't started yet.

 

Oh crap, they're busting out their 11x17" hand-drawn scorecards (in black & blue Sharpie)...it might be time...

 

Kazuto Ioka vs. Maikel Juvéncio Ordosgoitti Berenguel, 10 rounds @ bantamweight

 

It's starting now, but unless you are physically at Ōta-City Gymnasium (or a Japanese citizen with a Lemino Premium subscription, unavailable to foreigners) you aren't watching it.

I was hoping Venezuelan television would've picked it up, with Ordosgoitti being their shining hope in the sport right now.

 

Most of the Japanese fans' tweets I'm translating have Ioka the clear winner in R1, starting aggressively. Some people saying he looks kind of fat and slow compared with his prime, but I mean... dude is 36 and has been in the pro game almost half of his life.

 

Huge (and happy) reaction from Okabe & Takayanagi midway through round 2...going to assume that was Ioka dropping or at least badly stunning Ordosgoitti.

 

Yep, it was a KD.

The consensus appears to be:

1. 10-9 Ioka
2. 10-8 Ioka

 

Takayanagi-San marking the hell out, shadow-boxing in his swivel chair, throwing power combos.

 

Ioka KO4 Ordosgoitti, never competitive from the sound of it.
