Result: Yoshi-Hashi destroys Honma with Karma for the win (9:10).

Rating: This one had a really fun chopping sequence between Ishii and Honma in the early-going, a spot that won't ever go out of date when it's played right just as it was here.

These two slugging it out made up a sizable bulk of the match and easily carried it through, but Yoshi-Hashi and Makabe also got a few fun sequences later on, and the former scoring the win was a good call.

This was basically a fun, fast-moving bout and the crowd were pretty into it, plus it really felt like it could've gone either way, especially during the lighting-fast final moments.

7/10
