    INTERESTING...

    In parallel with Ioka today, Tatsuyoshi was the younger guy with the more 'novice' record...and was the puncher in the match-up...and his opponent had lost twice but never by stoppage... :think

    However, Yakushiji had a few inches on him...whereas Yaegashi will actually be the shorter man in the ring.

    You're forgetting that we're watching Japanese TV. It doesn't get any stranger than that.

    At least I think we're watching Japanese TV. It must be with those hair cuts.

    That was a nice treat, actually. A rare glimpse into Japanese fistic lore for us Westerners. We might not otherwise have known what an important and obviously cherished memory that event was.

    Also, solid action - even if it was on two decade tape delay. :yep

    The now-friendly combatants are ringside as special guest commentators.

    I don't understand a word they're saying, but somehow they're really hyping me up, too.
    WAR Ioka!

    The epic swelling music (replete with saxophone solo!) helps.

    If this goes the distance, I'm going to maybe barely make it to my train on time. :err


    ...and that's assuming the pageantry really is starting in ~5 minutes.

    Yes. :happy Ioka's. Yaegashi already has his gloves on, shadowboxing and throwing combos.

    Doesn't look good...
    This was going to be my lunch break. Now I guess I'll have to treat this match as work.
