RBR: Dynamic Glove (February 3rd 2018)

Coming up in a few minutes on G+ is the next in their Dynamic Glove series of shows.

In the main event we'll see Masaru Sueyoshi (16-1, 10) defending his Japanese Super Featherweight title against Ken Osato (13-1-1, 4) in a mandatory defense. Sueyosho followed Kenichi Ogawa, with Sueyoshi winning the belt when Ogawa vacated. The champion has a bit of a peculiar style, but it's effective and hisKO win over Allan Villespin last year was tremendous. Osato had a great 2017 himself, going 3-0 (1) and defeating Satoru Sugita to earn his shot.

In the chief support bout Japanese Welterweight Yuki Nagano (12-2, 9) will face off with Thai visitor Najilek Sor Boonlieng (0-1). This should be a mismatch, but seems to suggest at Nagano getting a title bout later in the year.

Another bout of potential interest will see unbeaten hopeful Haruaki Kamiya (7-0, 3) battle with Thai Chatchai Phonlemueangdee (0-3). Kamiya has had a real slow burn of a career, fighting only 4 times since the end of 2014. Kamiya is a talent but a frustrating one.

The bout list (to some extent)

To kick things off Kohei Oshima (1-5-1) v Takatsugu Wakiyama (1-3) in a 4 rounder at Light Flyweight

 

1-Neither guy looks upto much here however Wakiyama seemed to land the more eye catching blows and gets the round for me. Neither showing too much skill but both willing to wing out some big shots

 

2-Success rate from both picking up and body shots being landed, Oshima going to the body with good success and looks composed whilst landing some big right hands up top. Very good Oshima round

 

3-Wakayama looking to use his feet and establish some range, but Oshima calmly walking him down and landing stiff right hands. Loverly uppercutt from Oshima. Big assault from Wakiyama who stands his ground. A huge right from Oshima staggers Wakiyama. Wakiyama trying to fight fire with fire but lacks the power and gets caught with another right hand that backs him up. Wakiyama battles back but eats some more stiff right hands

 

4-Wakiyama out like a man who knows he needs a big round and he's got a bounce in his step. Oshima continues to press forward but Wakiyama won't give up and presses back and pushes Oshima backwards. Great final round and both look exhausted. Wasn't the best of starts but was a fun one by the end.

Wakiyama got the decision, which I think is fortunate, majority decision to him

 

Looks like the next bout is Kenta Endo (0-0) making his debut (boxrec lists the wrong Kenta Endo) against a Thai visitor

 

1-Endo applying pressure from the off and has a very solid look about him, the Thai loking to land booming over hand rights when he throws, which isn't often. Stiff right from Endo, who is very very patient, Endo looks for a right but eats a counter. A good shot from Endo lands and he seemed to momentarily hurt the Thai.

 

2-The Thai hasn't come to roll over, but is throwing from way out of range and is the much smaller man, making his misses look even more like flails. When the Thai does connect Endo really looks worried and backs up in straight lines.

 

Thai is Phithaksin Thabanhan

 

3-Endo starting with some fire here and hurts the visitor, they are now just trading blows on the inside. The fight has picked up big time here! The Thai is staggering, and a follow up sends him down! Endo just bullying the visitor now and he's connecting with heavy leather...the referee steps in! TKO 3 to the debutant!

 

Next up
Shunsuke Nakamura (5-2-1, 4) v Katsutoshi Takahashi (6-5-2, 2)

 

1-Takahashi forcing Nakamura backwards, Nakamura is countering well at close quarters though and doesn't appear to be in any problems from the pressure. Nakamura showing some realy flashes of skill towards the end of the round

 

2-Takahashi again brigning the heat but Nakamura handling it and lands a brutal looking body shot, a nice headshot now by Nakamura and he goes back downstairs and drops his man. Takahashi up and storms back across the ring to have a fight. A headclash seemed to leave Nakamura blinking for a few seconds but he's back in charge and is looking for openings up close. Nakamura landing huge head shots, but Takahashi some how staying up right!

 

3-Pressure from Takahashi once more but it's being dealt with very easily by Nakamura and it seems like only matter of time before Takahashi gets stopped
