[9.0] "I really enjoyed this match. It was technical and brutal and fast-paced. Yamazaki impressed me in this tourney as someone completely new to his work and this match is the reason why. Same can be said for Koshinaka."
[5.0] "I found this to be quite boring. Some of the early grappling was good and I liked the way they worked towards the false finishes at the end but this was largely listless, not too unlike a modern main event style of match. Koshinaka could've been more active on offence to complement Yamazaki's danger submission element. **1/2"
