Tenese Sarwieh Posted January 29, 2021 Report Share Posted January 29, 2021 Hayashishita’s second red belt title defense and it’s against the challenger Maika. Makia had a great strategy of working over the left arm with submissions and Utami trying to offset that using her power. Everything here was fine, it did drag some in the middle and I zoned out in some parts but picked up big in the end. Things escalated into throwing bombs leading to Utami hitting a perfect looking BT Bomb, solid stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 Maika grounds the champ early with some armwork. She gets a Fujiwara, a standard armbar, and an armbar/triangle choke combo. I like the struggle for Maika's superplex. Maika's backdrop driver looked brutal. Utami is able to make comebacks with lariats, goes for a Black Tiger Bomb, but Maika escapes to get the katahajime and Utami uses the ropes to slam Maika down. Maika eats a huge bitchslap and a torture rack slam for a two count and then the Black Tiger Bomb for three. Not bad, I liked how just about everything had some kind of struggle, nothing was easy, but this did meander when Maika was on offense.

donsem43 Posted May 24, 2021 Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 This was my kind of match. Really enjoyed how it mostly built out of Maika's early arm work and Utami going after the back. You could conceivably say that Maika lost because she stopped going after Utami's arm. They also mostly avoid falling into the typical Japanese main event troupes which was a bit refreshing. ****¼ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
