[2019-08-08-NJPW-G1 Climax 29: Night Sixteen] Tomohiro Ishii vs Shingo Takagi

[paul sosnowski]

One of the best matches of the 2019 G-1 Climax!!!!   Talk about it here

[Cap]

Match of the tournament for me so far. Just finished this so I am still two shows behind on the whole, but this was pretty easily the standout bout to this point.

 

Maybe one of the best fighting spirit battles I have ever seen. Ishii spices it up with one of the best kickouts I have seen in ages (really like 2.9999999999). This was just awesome stuff start to finish.

****3/4

You know exactly what you're getting with these two, even when they haven't faced each other before. It's 20+ minutes full of nasty hits & gnarly bombs, with it getting more intense & dramatic as it goes on. Some really good selling too by both guys. Definitely not my favorite kind of a match, but Shingo & Ishii certainly did it in WAY more interesting fashion than Ishii & Goto, for an example. ***1/2
