    What a great fight!

    Kimura started slow, but really finished strong in the late rounds.

    Not sure who won this one, real close.

            It was close. I figured Sho Kimura was going big in the final rounds ; I thought Kosei was about to get stopped in the 12th. Sho should be back for another crack.

            With this win over Sho Kimura, Tanaka should be bumped to #2. at flyweight. A good addition for the Flyweights.

              For sure. Tanaka was real busy in the early and mid rounds. His body punches and combinations won the fight for him.

              Tanaka faded a bit in the championship rounds. And Sho showed his worth even though he came up a little short.

                    Have you ever seen two roosters fight? It's like this.

                      I did notice Kosei Tanaka's fluidity and precision with the body-head combos, I was impressed with his punch-selection throughout the contest. Kosei does drop his guard often which created some concern for me; good thing for Tanaka that Sho Kimura is not as fast or accurate to get off in combination as frequently.

                      I think the official YT link that SceneBoxer provided in the first page might still be functional.

                      Haha! What a moment in the final round, very entertaining how the momentum dramatically shifted from one another. It ended like it began in the early rounds -- A Gif of some the action in round 2 below.
