Card is on now, won't be doing a full RBR Starting off with a debutant called Tanaka vs a 0-3 guy called Nakajima
Guy in the red is a Kamegai fan, runs at his man and fires. Guy in blue staying composed and coming back late in the second round. Red hurt to the body, blue wobbled! I've not got my glasses (long story) but this is a fun way to kick off the show
Round 3 is much like round 2, all action, back and forth....blue now wearing down, red is relentless, red now looking like he's punched himself out and blue coming on to the bell
Final round Close up brawling, both just unloading, red is now looking hurt! Last 40 seconds, he looks exhausted, 20 seconds left...bombs! Got it 38-38
Guy in red looks to be landing the better shots in round 2 but I can't help feeling he won't take a good shot
Pretty tactical action early on, experience is showing and neither is committing to much, when they do the other returns fire soon afterwards.
The bout started very tactically but now, in round 3, it's becoming a bit of a war, they take it in turns to fire a salvo, very entertaining and it does seem to be suiting Fujihara. Really good action.
More of the same through round 4, it's no FOTY contender, but the sort of bout every show should have, two guys knocking lumps out of each other!
Tiredness now in both guys work, but that's not taking away from the excitement as both got rocked in round 5. Momentum swings both ways. Great stuff.
With just 4(t)ko's each it's clear neither man is a banger...but this has still been so much bloody fun. The pace dropped off a bit in round 6 but that's hardly a xcomplaint
