[8.0] "It's a funny way to describe it, but the story here was all about Toyota kind of 'moving goalposts' for Hasegawa, which naturally got the crowd behind Hasegawa more and more after every small comeback. Toyota had many different tricks up her sleeve, which is why she was able to either cut off Hasegawa so many times, but one final escape from JOCS into a Spinning High Kick right in Toyota's head got the job done to a great reaction from the crowd. ***3/4"
[9.0] "Just an excellent bout all around. Hasegawa's rolling double-arm underhook suplexes are a sight to behold, they take up so much energy. The crowd was built well to go nuts for her mild upset victory at the end."
[9.0] "Some good stuff. A match that goes from strength to strength, starting with a pretty decent submission section and ending with lots of action and classic Manami Toyota craziness."
