Their bout in February was boring and this match was just as dull. We got a lot of generic matwork, mostly headscissors, and none of it really went anywhere at all. It took until we were 15 minutes in before the intensity jumped a level and Fujinami began pushing the pace and working Keirn’s leg with some nasty kicks. If the match had been worked how they worked the final 4 minutes this would have been good at least, however in reality it was merely adequate. Very disappointing because Fujinami obviously has had some bangers with other people throughout the year and I’ve seen Keirn be pretty good during TV matches in Georgia as well.
