Tak looks like he’s enjoying himself and has found a grove. What a little legend, he’s fighting a seemingly immovable force.

Imagine if the younger fighter burns out, throwing considerably less.

This is going 12 rounds. Takayama did not fly across the Ocean just for a paycheck. got to respect that.

Hang on I went to stretch the legs between fights, didn’t bother with the judges as Conway clearly lost.... but did the judges give it to him?

WHAT a chin Taka has.

He's getting moved about every time he's hit. He looks a weight div or two smaller and weaker, but he doesn't give AF.

He has started to miss more from the 3rd.

Ok thank god it was only one bad judge. But did that judge give Conway 8 rounds hahahahahah what. I could give him 9, 10 if I was being bias, and mabey one round early if I was boarderline openly citrusy. But even if I was a known cheat I’d feel embarrassing making it that wide the wrong way...

It’s a Fkn war haha! Great stuff. Soto is carrying too much muscle, so was Conway. Problem with the younger gen of fighters.

Soto needs to work the body. takie is not ever going to roll over. you have to break him down.
