Loss Posted August 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 The January match is way better than this one. It had more time to develop, and there was far more excitement and meaningful shifts in momentum. This is a perfectly fine match, but there's nothing really special about it compared to everything else going on at the time. The last 2-3 minutes are great, but the early stuff really isn't.

shoe Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 Flynn's kicks were good. The match was solid, but nothing wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomk Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 What we said at segundacaida: Naoki Sano v. Jerry Flynn PAS: Sano was the show stealer for a bunch of the 1991 PWFG so I am amped to see him back. The opening was basically kickboxing, and Sano has some great leg kicks, just tremendous velocity and force. There was some really nice mat stuff too, and a really hot finish. All you would want from an undercard shootstyle match TKG: Yeah these two match up nicely. Last time they matched up it was more Flynn as the better striker vs. Sano as better mat guy. Here story a little more complicated as both bring different types of skills to the stand up game and different types of skills to the mat one. And you have a sense that either can play into the hands of either wrestler. the throw into the finish was super great too. My memory is that I felt that there was more going on in this match than the earlier one but maybe simple is better. This was basic disagreement between me and Phil when watching the PWFG, as I liked when Flyn moved back and forth between carefull defensive wrestler and aggressive kicker, Phil thought Flynn was more effective when he was more one dimensional, http://segundacaida.blogspot.com/2006/12/p...mi-show-17.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 These two work really well together, but I agree the January match was better. Still some great kicks and suplexes, but there was more time to develop stuff in the earlier match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingedEagle Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 This was definitely inferior to their earlier match, but at least the slow stuff early on here served to establish their roles and strategies. Really hot finish with an awesome belly to belly into a wristlock for the tap. *** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garretta Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 Again, this was too short to really get into. The finishing sequence was superb, but there wasn't much to it other than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superkix Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 Some nice flurries from Flynn and a cool suplex from Sano. The matwork was okay but there were some hot moments up top. Decent match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawho5 Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 Perfectly fine shootstyle. Sano looked super dominant on the mat for most of it with Flynn pulling some interesting counters out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
