Fujita Hayato & Munenori Sawa vs. Kota Ibushi & Masaaki Mochizuki

[7.0] "Plays to the strengths of everyone in the match in being short and fast-paced. Hayato may be the spawn of Satan but I felt bad seeing him get his shit rocked here. The bit where he does a momentary adrenaline no-sell and Mochizuki still kicks his ass was hilarious. Tremendous finish, more matches of this type should end with knock-outs."

[7.0] "Ibushi is unreal in this. Aggressive as a mother fucker, fighting Sawa with intense disdain. Even for simple stuff like holding Sawa down to setup Mochi's attacks, Ibushi has to pummel his opponent to get it down. Fighting off both Sawa and Hayato 2v1 is the highlight of the match."

[8.0] "A hidden gem of a match that I stumbled across on YouTube. These 4 men go at a break neck speed of stiff strikes with each one looking worse than the next and not stopping until the climatic finish. This match flies by and is a great watch for anyone without knowing the previous work of everyone involved."

[7.0] "Ibushi and Sawa start this thing throwing hands like Haggler/Hearns. The connection rate doesn't look high to me, but the visual works great. Things settle down into submissions and kicks from then out, and holy crap some of these kicks to the body. Ibushi and Sawa spend the last minutes of this match outside apparently beating the crap out of each other as the camera only cuts to them a couple times, staying with the final battle between Mochizuki and Hayato in the ring. I was thinking to myself, these hard strike fests really should end in a KO once in a while instead of sudden submission or big move to really put them over, and then they go and do a KO finish"

[10.0] "Insanely awesome junior heavyweight strikefest that keeps up great energy throughout its run time. They boldly asked "who can kick/get kicked the most and walk out of here? " and I guess we found the answer. This is practically my ideal junior heavyweight style match."

[8.0] "Predictably great and hard-hitting stuff, probably the most I've enjoyed an Ibushi performance because he was throwing like a crazy fucker. Hayato gets rocked for most of it and Sawa has to make the saves, Ibushi and Sawa have some real heated exchanges and brawls, even post-match - ****"

[9.0] "This was awesome, absolutely nailed it. So many twists and turns here, and so many nasty looking strikes. I have no idea how Mochizuki's opponents walked out from how often they got his boots right to their spine. Hayato is awesome too. This sort of mix of sports entertainment-y shenanigans and shooty action is GREAT for me."

[7.0] "I do believe that it's the first time Kota Ibushi unleashed his shoot-style attitude on a relatively large scale. He decided to go kick-for-kick against Sawa and Jr. Hayato and ended up looking very good. The whole match is complete martial-arts madness, if you're into guys trying to knock each other tour, this is THE match."
