Seiya Tsutsumi vs. Nonito Donaire & Kyosuke Takami vs. René Santiago + Olascuaga vs. Kawahara RBR.

Dominican and Puerto Rican fighters see to always get the win in these close affairs in Japan. ALWAYS!

 

I gave the fight to Iwata as well, but that one was at least close. This one, not so much.

 

Donaire buzzed him badly late with an uppercut! **** yes!

 

Round 4 Donaire 10-9

Donaire marching forward like a boss, battering ST, who's looking ragged and not reacting well to anything.

 

Takuma watching at ringside shitting himself, he don't want none of that old man Nonito Smoke.
