On the other side of the news, I challenged my 7 year old neighbor. I am going for the KO too!

he doesn't think a kickboxer who is famous for giving KO's and has a chance at lifetime infamy is going to be looking for a KO? I half expect Nasukawa to DQ himself to get that lifetime infamy and kick Floyd upside his big bald head

If Pacquiao, Mosley, Cotto, or Judah couldn't knock Floyd out in 12 round fights this featherweight kickboxer isn't knocking him out in 3.

It's Japan, and RIZIN is basically betting the company's future on Tenshin.

So no, Nasukawa isn't going deliberately cheat, shame himself and the company, in the name of doing something ******.

In a similar way to Ali-Inoki (more recently Floyd-Conor), Tenshin will come to fight, hopefully not get flattened by the first punch, fight aggressively, hopefully land at least one meaningful punch, and hopefully make it through the three rounds.

As Floyd is known to do, Floyd will give Tenshin heaps of credit for being a "tremendous fighter" and "showing him something", and RIZIN will splice that in with the highlights of the fight and Tenshin's other fights as they build their young undefeated blue Chip fighter for his next bout, selling up the fact (hopefully for RIZIN) that their fighter was able to stand to to toe with arguably the greatest fighter too ever put on gloves and hold his own.

If Nasukawa did that he would end up like Naoto Mori****a (PRIDE). Corruption in Japan is rampant.

I bet his ****** ass over there drinking the water and everything

I saw fam at a restaurant last night (struggling wit the chopsticks I might add) jus eating whatever they prepared for his ****** ass

The Yakuza is HEAVILY involved in Japanese combat sports

HEAVILY.

Corrupt as FCK. ******** is BIG business over there.

And they are taking this little exhibition very seriously. And so should he.

Might be nothing but I'd be on my guard out there if I was him.

Man have Ellerbe try some that shit before you eat it lol
