Hamasaki seems to be getting more confident in her striking. I'm not sure yet if that's a good or bad thing. On one hand, she's more aggressive on the feet and not helpless, on the other, I think that maybe her confidence surpasses her ability a little bit.

But I don't expect her to fight like an idiot. I think she's probably the best she's ever been right now and I have to pick her to beat Frey again.

I did wonder where the division would go after Hamasaki vs Asakura. This is a pretty good step.

Good bout. Bigger than what I was expecting for the June 2nd show.

Guy spends the entire video trashing Jinh’s performance in the first fight (most had her winning the 1st rd) then admits that he’d have picked Hamasaki even if he hadn’t seen it?!? I
Generally like his videos, but this one is terrible. Also, dude thinks too much like a boxer.
