[fartsmeller]

RISE are really shit at getting the word out for their shows (to the extent that they've forgotten to put the World Series shows on their own calendar on the website) so here's a thread:

Tournament Semi Final ROUND 3m3R EX1R, 58kg

Tenshin Nasukawa vs Serkim PK Saenchai

Rungkit Wor.Sanprapai vs Shiro

Tournament Semi Final ROUND 3m3R EX1R, 61kg

There's quite a lot of filler fights, but the tournament fights are all great, and Tenshin vs Suakim 2 is enough reason to watch. Handy Karaev Fan breakdown here:

Available on Fite here

The Abema schedule shows that it's getting the slot on the Kakutougi channel/Abema Special 2 and Krush will be on Abema Gold, the latter part of RISE will clash with the early part of Krush

I wasn't really following things and had no idea Tenshin was fighting.

How did it go until the cut?

Much less entertaining than the first bout, but not bad. The real highlight was Shiratori vs Seksan, well worth tracking down

They had picked up the action in the 3rd round and looked like they were starting to really open it up and then Tenshin landed one of those cartwheel heel kicks he does about 1 minute into round 3 and cut Serkim. Didn't hurt him, but the kick did land solid on the forehead and did cut him pretty bad. That's what I hate about cuts, the fight looked like it was really starting to pick up and was pretty close at that point, next thing you know it's over and there was no conclusive winner and the "loser" didn't really get a chance to win the fight. Third go around coming up sometime maybe ?

As fartsmeller stated, Shiratori was pretty impressive. I had never seen him fight before, but I was impressed.

Shiratori, Suzuki and Haraguchi had great performances

Everything else was a slog to the point where I’m not even sure if I watched Shirou vs Rungkit and Tenshin vs Suakim live. I have vague recollections but Umeno put me to sleep
