Hell of a fight that's exactly as badass as both these guys' reps suggests. If you like watching guys goes out and bang, this is your match. Takayama's face in these brawls is always prone to turning into a grotesque sight, and it gets mangled pretty damn badly in this. I've kind of soured on Sugiura's strike exchanges over the years, but that sort of thing works pretty well here given his opponent.

A beautifully violent match, stiff elbows, awesome suplexes and hard knees. A wonderful David vs Goliath match, considering Sugiura is such a badass wrestler he worked really well as David against the behemoth Takayama.

I think it's great that the youtube video that I watched this match on had a content warming attached to it. This was a slugfest from the beginning. Stiff forearm shots, brutal knees to the gut. You name it. For someone who is a badass, Sugiura works as the underdog really well. He has tons of grit and fight. Takayama is awesome at dishing out his offence even if it’s the most simlictic thing you’ll ever seen. Sugiura more than dishing out some nasty offence of his own, busting Takayama’s nose and hitting a big suplex followed by slaps. Sugiura is awesome in this. I love that almost everything he did was preceded by hard slaps to the face. And the running knee he does is a thing of beauty. The finishing stretch was good. Hard strikes exchanged, finish. Simple. I think the match lacked that killer sequence to be a special match but it was good from start to finish. ****

Not crazy about this one. Sugiura is one of those guys I don't really dig.
