[7.0] "This wasn't a match classic but it was a good brawl with Inoki bleeding making for some cool visuals as he overcame his opponent"

[8.0] "Inoki took a page out of the WWF playbook with this national hero overcoming the monster of the summer's title reign. This was not as wild of an opening as their prior matches. It feels more like a title match. The first fall is (not great) technical wrestling, then it turns into a desperate bloodbath and the crowd is screaming through the last several minutes straight. My favorite image is Inoki in the Argentine Backbreaker bleeding from the throat as Tiger Jeet wrenches him. Really enjoyed this."

[8.0] "The fact that the match has fewer long holding moments like many matches in the 1970s was quite nice. Tiger Jeet Singh didn't show much and that's what's wrong but just enough to serve as a pedestal for Inoki"

[8.0] "More technical than the rest of the feud - the crowd is not as hot - well for the first fall - then it's fucking dirty - Singh cheats all the way - Inoki bled from the throat ! They really build to a great finish ( they throw pillow seats in the sky)"

[6.0] "First of all, I think Inoki is great. His body language, fire in his comebacks are matchless. It's impossible not to cheer for him. Tiger Jeet Singh was a fine heel but didn't really match Inoki's level. 60"

[5.0] "Tiger Jeet Singh really knows how to work a crowd, just as well because he is fairly useless in the ring. It feels like Inoki and Singh never stopped facing each other in the mid 70's - early 80's and this is definitely one of their best match ups though that isn't saying much as most of them are awful. Fans of hot brawls will like this more than I did."
