Kevin Ridge Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 I’m cheering for Sano though he probably has no chance. I wonder if UWFI could benefit from having a play by play guy. Very mat based match between the two. They do exhange kicks every so often. Each guy going for the submission over and over. I thought it was just okay as had trouble keeping my full focus. I thought it would be better with Sano involved. For this UWFI stuff, it really needs Vader/Albright involved for me to fully enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted June 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Great match in a good year for Takada. As much as I normally enjoy Sano and would rank him well above Takada, I thought Takada was the star in this match. It reminded me of the '93 Tamura match in how Takada carried himself as The Man and knew exactly how much to sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exposer Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 This was a great match. I'm not really a fan of Takada at all. However, he was good in this match. I actually thought Vader carried their August match for the most part. Takada was better here. I loved Sano in this as well though. His escapes were awesome.

soup23 Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Fantastic match mixing in slick work with great drama. Takada has had a good year working with some excellent opponents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 Good match with some surprising vulnerability shown by Takada. It really seemed like Sano had his number for most of this. Good look at Takada finally working against a non-monster in '94. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenjo Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 A nice matchup between two combatants well versed in their craft. The mat exchanges were easy on the eye and the strikes impressive also. A restrained opening bubbled up nicely as they then moved through the gears. Unfortunately the peak was in the middle of the match, as the closing stages were underwhelming. Still a good match, but had threatened higher.
