DOUKI vs. El Desperado

[6.0] "El Desperado logically defeated Douki in this good match, nothing special to notice but we had some good counters by these two. I also found the finish good here, but at the end of the day, it's a basical tournament match. ***1/4"

[7.0] "Nothing that will blow you away but a very solid matchup with DOUKI more than carrying his fair share of the match. Enjoyed the chemistry between these two. ***1/2"

[7.0] "This match was pretty good, they showed that they have nice chemistry together. DOUKI also got nice showing and he still looked strong, despite losing."

[8.0] "I thought this was a legitimately great match that had a bit of everything: some some lucha, a little bit of aerial offense and some great mat and submission work. It is incredible how much DOUKI has improved since coming to NJPW. His selling in this match was very good."

[7.0] "Good match with a great leg-work. DOUKI tried very hard to beat his HERMANO and prove his strength, which I really liked, and Despy was goog as always ***3/4"

[7.0] "This match not only was surprisingly competitive, but also DOUKI got a couple of very good near-falls and he looked very strong in defeat. There were a lot of El Desperado support towels in the crowd, it's really noticeable in the Korakuen Hall."

[7.0] "Nice booking: the first non main event match of the current IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion El Desperado after his previous loss. This time he scored a win, against his mate in Suzuki-Gun. Good stuff."
