Posted July 16, 20223 yr comment_5985966 This was an intriguing match on paper. I expected a bunch of matwork from this, and true to form they spent plenty of time trading holds. It wasn't overwhelmingly impressive, but the best parts had a judo flavor to them. Real judo has a lot more urgency to it, however, and is much more exciting. After awhile, they ditched the matwork and ran the ropes. It's always a disappointment when workers do that. I was kind of surprised that Yabushita got the win over Maekawa here, and with a weak flash pin as well. In the end, I suppose this was all right. Just curb your expectations a bit and don't expect too much from the matwork.
