This was one of the best BOSJ finals in the past decade, up there with Ishimori vs Takahashi from 6/4/2018 and Desperado vs Takahashi from 2020. Great match that starts off with fantastic chain wrestling, before it descends into a brawl down the final stretch with a return to the submission focus as KUSHIDA looks for the win. The crowd totally bought into this match, and Kyle O'Reilly seemed like a legitimate threat to KUSHIDA for the entire match. Matches like these make me really sad that both Kyle O'Reilly and KUSHIDA didn't have extended careers in NJPW because they are really underrated as technical wrestlers. One of the best junior heavyweight matches that I can remember, and I think that would make it a legitimate contender for a Top 100 list. *****

2nd. Fantastic match with a heavy emphasis on technical wrestling.

This is on my watch list. Cagematch has it in their top 100 fan rated matches. Between that & the first write-up here, it's definitely one I'll be checking out.
