Posted June 14, 20169 yr comment_5757035 The weak finish hurt this, as Suzuki spends about 75% of the match working Sato’s arm like a full-time job, cranking, whipping, stomping, kneeing, etc., yet he seems a little too easy to put away in the end as the defending champ. Suzuki does a great job of cutting off Sato’s offensive rebuttals, and Sato sells it pretty well, eventually switching to kicks after failing to use the arm to strike. I liked Sato’s German suplex counter off the European uppercut. But it felt like they rushed through the finishing stretch. This could’ve benefited from a few more minutes and a little more danger surrounding the arm work.
