E & J Cassius Gym 15th Anniversary Meeting with DANGAN (AKA Koura Vs Dante) RBR

Live now on Boxing Raise
Show kicks off with a female bout! I believe between Ayaka Maeda Vs Atsuko Ishiguro, both debutants

1-Fast pace to the start the show, neither looked particularly polished but both are going for it in the early going, lots of leather being thrown but nothing substantial behind any of it. Fun pace even if the skills are lacking, the sort of action that's good to start a show off and get the crowd enjoying themselves early

Stream died part way through the round

2-Stream still bow alive...oh we're back, nope not for long (this is my internet and not Boxing Raise, it's been ****ing **** for weeks...just done a speed test and I'm getting 9MBS -_- with a ping of 235ms total bull**** given the price we're paying! Sort this **** out BT! Seriously!

 

3-Back now in round 3 for about 15 seconds before the lag is back...another speed test gave a download speed of 8.04 -_- ****ing joke this looks like both are standing at the end of the round as we head to round 4 though

 

4-Yay! Turn everything else off the internet and we finally get a consistent stream...looking at round 4 it's been the same as the opening round. They were stood square just trading head shots. Neither is going to have a long career, but hey that was fun (well what I saw of it...**** you BT you bunch of ****ing ****s)

 

Another all debutant bout coming up!
Fuga Komatsu (0-0) v Yota Sato (0-0)

 

The way they keep zooming in on Cassius Naito's face above the entrance ramp almost makes it look like a tribute show rather than an anniversary show (of his gym, he's still with us!)

 

1-No idea who is who, but there's a southpaw in red and a righty in blue, and the lefty is taking the fight to the right, he drops him, lights him up for fun, he's getting over excited and going for the finish, taking a few in return, he looks close to having punched himself out, Blue landing some shots of his own, teeing off straights from both, and blue guy back on the retreat...Ah red guy is Komatsu, a 19 year old from Team 10 count, Sato is from the Hanagata gym, 28 year old managed by Susumu Hanagata (who takes a new job role tomorrow!)

 

2-Komatsu appears to have had a good rest and is back on the attack, he's hurt Sato and again goes for the kill, all sort of technical issues with his foot work and weight transfers but he's going to make some very fun fights if he doesn't do himself in. Sato with a good right and Komatsu holds, straights from both before a headclash

Yup NEITHER guy can defend themselves at all, this is hilariously poor from a technical stance and amazingly fun from an action stance. Komatsu's nose is a bloody mess and he walks into a MONSTER right.

 

3-Komatsu down now! He's up but not sure what he has left in the tank and Sato beats him down again, He walks into a huge right, they trade and Komatsu is down again! TKO3 win for Sato

HOLY **** THAT WAS FUN!

 

If you have a a Boxing Raise account I implore you to catch that one when it's up on demand. So good!

Next fight will be Natchaphon Wichaita (0-1) v Shisui Kawabata (0-0)

We're getting a speech from Cassius Naito before that

 

1-Thai guy looks two divisions bigger than the Japanese debutant, lovely combination on the inside from Kawabata, who is then dropped! This Thai hasn't travelled to pick up a loss and he is holding his own on the inside, nice body shot from Kawabata, Kawabata goes around the guard and the Thai backs up, a sweep right hook from Kawabata, and a body shot follows, Thai trying a shoulder roll before getting back behind a high guard, Kawabata is unloading on him, Thai fires back but is tagged with interest! Thai with a series of uppercuts, big body shots from Kawabata. 10-8 to Wichaita COULD be 10-9

 

The Thai's previous bout was a KO2 loss to Japanese national champion Kenichi Horikawa

2-Kawabata on the hunt, and he lands a sweet as **** shot! The Thai is waved off as he's falling to the canvas, people off to him immediately. He's out cold but going to need to rewatch that when it gets uploaded to Raises' VOD. KO2 Kawabata!

 

Really does look like a Cassius memorial show

Renerio Arizala (13-8-3, 5) v Tsuyoshi Tameda (18-4-2, 16)

 

1-Tameda boxing behind his jab, but pressing Arizala back at will, Arizala looks the bigger man, good right by Arizala, the crowd are silent (were really loud for the earlier fights), a good right from Arizala, Tameda intensifying his work, a good right followed by a body shot from Tameda, another left to the body, Tameda started to take over the more the road went on

 

2-Tameda keeping up the pressure, Arizala seems to be here to lose a decision and I suspect that's what has send the crowd to sleep after bouts where both guys went for it, Tameda with a couple of good body shots, Arizala just circling with his back on the ropes, a good uppercut from Tameda breaks the guard.

2-0 and I'm understanding the crowd's emotions...

 

3-Tameda ramping up the attacks, still nothing from the crowd, big shots from Tameda but Arizala takes them well, an uppercut from Tameda as Arizala retreats, a stiff body shot from Tameda, and a left hook, Tameda going for the kill with Arizala on the ropes but eats a right hand, a left hook from Arizala gets through late. 3-0
