[8.0] "Another brutal and brilliant entry in one of junior heavyweight wrestling's best stylistic rivalries. Minoru Tanaka and Koji Kanemoto are a perfect match, blending lightning-fast technical exchanges with incredibly stiff, punishing strikes in a relentless, fast-paced war."
[7.0] "It was a good final filled with really good technical work from two guys who know their art perfectly well but there were two issues, the crowd was really tired because of the 60 minutes tag match and the finishing stretch wasn't as hot as a final should be. They worked well together nonetheless and i liked everything they did, it was clean and crisp - ***1/2"
[8.0] "I really love fights of these two, Minoru & Kanemoto styles go perfectly with each other, making this a very stiff and fast paced BOSJ final. It would sure benefit from longer timing and maybe more dramatic finish, but I think this was a great brutal junior brawl as it is. ****"
[8.0] "Well dang ~ it's a four star match but the lackluster finish along with it being fairly short (I'm assuming due to the time limit draw Tag match), as well as a not as hot as usual crowd, also probably due to the earlier match. It started picking up into another gear right in the last five minutes then it was over. I could have went for five more"
