[2015-02-14-M.I.O.] Mio Shirai vs Io Shirai

[donsem43]

An interesting singles match between to estranged sisters. They spent the early part of their careers together then Io had some legal trouble that apparently caused a split between her and the rest of her family, including Mio. I don't think they had been on the same card for three years.

 

The match itself gets of to a tentative start as it seems like they can't agree on what to do which leads to some awkward stretches in the early going. Once they get on the same page though, the action picks up. A good back and forth mix of highspots from Io and nasty submissions from Mio plus really stiff strikes from both. ***3/4
