Really solid stuff to close out the tournament for two of its strongest performers this year. I think Goto was sort of a glue-like character this year, just putting on solid performances from start to finish and managing to maintain his dark-horse ethos. Shingo was one of the biggest stand outs, especially down this homestretch.  Hard hitting, really nice exchanges. Technically this was pretty strong. I loved the final sequence with Goto trying to go for a killshot because he doesn't think Shingo will stay down and getting blindsided by another brutal lariat.
