This one-hour match came to my attention as it was posted to YouTube a day or so ago. Presumably, this is a well-known match but I haven't seen anything about it here.

 

What is the prevailing thought on singles matches between Jumbo and Choshu in this time period, as compared to the all-time classic tags they were in around this time?

Big match atmosphere, as Jumbo and Choshu finally went one on one. Unfortunately, they also went 60 minutes, but without delivering an all time epic, which was clearly what they tried to do here. Most of the limb work was fine, Choshu showed all of his potential and Jumbo was somewhat generous with his leg selling. However, they didn't pace this well enough and there were a couple of weird 'restart segments', plus a quite flat 10 minutes before things started to pick up. A bit of a disappointment, considering this was their first bout
