Important question: Is there a 100% reliable way to watch this live outside of Japan? I wanna get the PPV for this one, but not if there's no guarantee I'll get to properly see it live. No, Abema PPV is the only thing available and theres no guarantee it works with VPN day of

Yeah I'm sure karaevfan was just messing around I think Taio deserved the victory, but was surprised he didn't get it after three rounds. The extra round felt closer to me than the first three rounds. I fully understand Gonnapar's disappointment though. It was a really close fight and he lost the belt after an even closer extra round. There will be some more proper comments after I catch up with the stuff I missed early on. I was kidding cause broadcast was spewing racist stuff that day Honestly the cruiserweight fights have been better than the RISE <60kg stuff (dont at me!) It was a last minute replacement cause of covid. Oiwa was supposed to fight Egawa in his 60kg debut but Egawa was deemed at risk

Man this started early. When I tuned in Mio vs. Sugawara Miyuu was already halfway through. So I missed pretty much the whole tournament and will have some catching up to do. I really liked what was left of the card though. Kuroda Toma scored an awesome KO on Miburo Kazuki to take the tournament. While I don't like that Tsubakihara's fight wasn't a title defense, I did like the fight. K-1 needs to get rid of that whole champions in superfights nonsense, though. Question for karaevfan I guess; Why is Tsubakihara receiving hate on social media? The promo of his fight showed him getting disliked on YouTube. Is it just fanboys of Egawa Yuuki or did he say something controversial? Hayashi Kenta vs. Vitor Toffanelli was great. Just when I thought Toffanelli's movement is a bit too stiff to get Hayashi in trouble Toffanelli went and knocked him down twice lol. Hayashi bounced back though and pummeled Toffanelli who did everything he could to tough it out. Good thing the ref saved him from worse punishment. People really hate Tsubakihara for the Egawa decision. Sadly his career is just cursed now which sucks cause he’s always been a good natured kid who isn’t even particularly an egregious runner

I was aware of the date change, but not the location change. Editing the OP. Man that sucks for the people who bought a ticket. Yea I think its to circumvent covid restrictions in Tokyo I think they're offering to refund / swap out all tickets though and its only a 30 min or so train ride so not too big of a deal Btw Mao is out due to covid contact restrictions and has been replaced by Hagiwara Shuto www.k-1.co.jp/fighter/915/

Awesome, I love behind the scenes stuff. Any takeaway quotes from Tenshin? And all the people surrounding him throughout the vid, were any of them (noteworthy) K-1 staffers or was it all just random people? I think the folks around Tenshin are mostly just helpers for his youtube channel After the bout he mentioned he was glad the K-1 crowd applauded his entry (since he was worried about going into away territory). Said the fight was great. He said Takeru is a completely different type of fighter since he himself is worried about getting hit but Takeru is so confident in his chin he wades into the action. He expected Leona would have a reach advantage but he got punished cause he fought up close despite his early exchanges. He said Leona probably got confident cause he got a few hits in, but its Takeru's style to take the hits and even while the crowd was getting scared about Takeru getting hit he was just letting it happen. Said Takeru does have star power cause he can always turn a fight around, and there's a reason why both of them have been undefeated for so long. Was asked about whether the fight can actually happen and just repeated that nothing is set yet and he only came to pay respects to Takeru for visiting him on NYE

+ Kido's 'staredown' with Matsushita was the best thing ever. Pretty sure karaevfan loved it as well lol. Sir. Please EDIT: Also, here's Tenshin visiting K-1

I'm not sure to be honest. This seems like a bit of a smaller card for Krush. karaevfan may have an idea. Delayed sorry but Toma is the future still 18 and a killer

Takeru will avenge kickboxing’s honor. Osu

You know what, there's gonna be a whole lot of fallout from this event, hopefully more political than viral
But at this point at 5AM, I'm satisfied. Likely the best kickboxing card of 2020 (hopefully not cause of lack of competition)

For Takeru to break down like that I'm sure there's been a ton of stuff going behind the scenes. Takeru was calling out Tenshin through the tears, even though he mentioned the back of the scenes folks specifically told him not to do that

Egawa dropping out completely went past me due to not keeping up with the fightcard until I absolutely had to update the thread. Why did he drop out? Some sort of injury And wow, is Karimian vs Aitaka gonna be comeback of the year?

BTW I like that Sina Karimian vs. Aitaka Ryo is one of the main fights, rather than just an afterthought scheduled early on the card. I guess the very realistic prospect of another Japanese champion added to that decision. They brought Aitaka up to main billing status and stuck him on all the Abema posters after Egawa had to drop out, lol

Is this a title fight? If so it's another example of why we need 5 round title fights. No, was a catchweight given the short notice nature of the fight
