    Hamashima far more consistent work, especially his Pez dispenser uppercut, with none of the explosive attacks from Sasaki to counteract it.

    Pretty much the reverse of last round, aside from a few uppercuts and counter hooks late from Yuki, all Ruku.

    Pretty much a slugfest in the last round, aside from his strong ending, I thought Hamashima outworked him.

    76-75 Sasaki

    Like with IB's card, the knockdown made the difference, only we reached the same conclusion via quite different routes. So a Yamashima win is certainly not out of the question.
