RBR - A Sign Bee - Reiya Abe Vs Ren Sasaki

Ishizawa in the white shorts with "KAI" on them, Tada in silver

1-Tada boxing behind a busy jab, Ishizawa trying to get a read on his man with his tight guard working well, nice jabs from Ishizawa, body shot from Tada, pressure is coming from Ishizawa but not much coming from it other than an occasional jab, a short right from Ishizawa, Tada working hard to maintain range, Ishizawa fighting conservatively but the best shots have been his sick, stiff, thudding jabs, Tada doing a lot for nothing, nice exchange late in the round.

10-9 Ishizawa

 

2-Pressure increasing from Ishizawa, Tada trying to fight it off, nice start to the round, Ishizawa with a thunderous uppercut, Tada backed on to the ropes he does not want to be there, Tada trying to fight Ishizawa off but ca'nt create any real space, short right hand from Ishizawa, Tada trying to throw something big but Ishizawa takes it on the guard, nice exchange and Tada gets the worse of it, Ishizawa goes through the gears and bounces Tada's head around, a good right from Tada but Ishizawa comes back as we go to the bell.

2-0

 

3-Tada starting well and seemed to get Ishizawa's respect for a moment, Ishizawa struggling to get close like he did in round 2 and this is much better from Tada, Tada actually starting to boss things at times, and Ishizawa not doing much other than shelling up, Tada getting a little bit greedy on the inside and almost pays for it, more good consistent work from Tada

2-1

 

4-Ishizawa a bit more lively to begin the round, and lands a couple of good lefts, Tada standing his ground though, Ishizawa forced to back off, again good work from Tada early in the round but he is standing his ground maybe a little too much for comfort, good uppercuts from both, very nice work on the inside by both, very nice from Tada again, Ishizawa lack of size is working against him here and Ishizawa using his reach well

2-2

 

5-Pace increasing on the inside, still not really enough from Ishizawa for my liking, nice work at mid range by Tada, who gets inside and lets them fly. Not sure what exactly we're seeing from Ishizawa at the moment, no where near enough work from him, nice hook-uppercut combo from Ishizawa but he can't maintain the output, nice exchange late.

3-2 Tada

 

6-Ishizawa starting slowly but his engine gets going and he hurts Tada, lets the shots fly and down goes Tada! He gets up, that was what Ishizawa can do! And Ishizawa again on the front foot think he smells blood and he keeps his hands active, backing Tada up, just beating the fight out of him, and the ref waves it off..

TKO6 Ishizawa...good result, underwhelming performance

 

Chief Support bout - Ryuto Araya (13-8-1, 4) v Katsunori Endo (6-3, 3)

 

Araya in red
Endo in black

1-Seem to be off to a good start here, but the pace is inconsistent, some nice exchanges before some lulls, Araya looks the better fighter and looks decent when he lets his hands go but I'd like to see a lot more from him.

1-0 Araya

 

2-Araya opening up more and he puts Endo down - slip, Endo in trouble mid way through the round, Araya opening up big time, and he's been countered himself, fun back and forth action to end the round.

 

3-Araya starting faster and he's dropped Endo seconds into the round, wild swinging from both as they restart, some crazy stuff here, very entertaining after quite a poor show so far (and whilst I love Abe he's not particularly a fun guy to watch), round calmed down, sadly, still a good 10-8 for Araya

No idea, i had the other half yapping during entrances, she's wanting to do some shopping or something...

 

4-Araya boxing at range, Endo trying to press forward, messy action up close, Endo walking forward and trying to just launch big hooks, Araya down - slip (more of a push but whatevs),, and down a again, face first! KTFO!
HUGE COME FROM BEHIND WIN KATSUNORI ENDO

 

Was a lovely little combination that sent Araya down
