They have fukken wars yno. Could be any two divs and it’s always a belter fight.

Two Jap Southpaws is mad tho, can’t remember ever seeing that beige but I like this fight. Thought that was a legit Kd, did you?

That bodyshot KO from Takai was sensational, feinted the jab then cam under, doesn't get much better

anaguchi straightens himself out and returns to more boxing in the 6th

not sure if tsut's cut was from punches or foul. anaguchi has been using the elbow often

crazy!! anaguchi down again! looks to be going, but then fights back and stuns tstusumi at the bell!

despite being down 3x, it's possible anaguchi could still win this on points.. he has an argument for every round he hasnt been down in.

last round now ....10th

with kds in 4 rounds against him surely he'll lose on points now

ill be very interested in the scores.....wonder if anaguchi still couldve won that if he took the 10th

tsutumi only won 4 rounds for me, but with kds in each one of them he's surely got it

as talented as anaguchi looked at times, i fear just not tough enough. he didnt look particularly hurt on any of the kds, just like it was getting too hot for him so he kinda crumpled to get some recovery.

tsutsumi being given a check for about 50k pounds, seems like special occassion - maybe for 5 japanesse title wins?

two scores of 94-92.............if anaguchi had stayed up and won the final round he woulda won the fight even being down 3x.

awesome stuff, congrats to the very cut up winner :yay:
