Overall this was another great event. Here's a quick list that sums up my thoughts:

Pros
- Lots of KO's and knockdowns
- Allazov
- Kido
- Kido's VTR
- Takeru
- Wei Rui
- Most of the fights
- Taro-Kun and the new Stadium Pokémon

Cons
- Noiri Masaaki vs. Kaew Weerasakreck: The Fight
- Noiri Masaaki vs. Kaew Weerasakreck: The Decision after 3 rounds
- Title fights really need to be 5 rounders. Other than the Takeru fight they all would have benefited from it.
- I caught via Twitter that the broadcasting team was riding Gonnapar instead of Wei Rui: Subtle racism is still BS!

I had a great time, thanks everybody for joining in!
