I found this to be the best of the Inoki/Hansen series, as most of the previous matches always left me with a bit of bitter taste in my mouth. Short and sweet, playing in favour of the competitors' strengths and avoiding a long limb segment that Hansen couldn't really deal with at this time. Inoki, however, used the matwork to weaken the gaijin as much as he could, because Hansen tried his hardest to decimate the Ace with both his arms and his legs. We finally get a blowoff on the lariat spot of their very first match, because Inoki finally kicks out and then gets a clean 3.0000001 pinfall on his opponent
***1/2
