Kudo Masahide vs　Ogasawara Eisaku
 
Krush going on tonight. Still opening fight on Abema (if you can get Hola working its free).

Decent, if unspectacular card. Ozawa Kaito's defending his title in the main event and Noiri is in the co-main. Takeru and Kaew doing an exhibition as well.
 
Hola usually works for me, but Abema always gives issues. Not working so far.
 
Got it to work but now its just buffering endlessly. Looks like I'm sitting this one out.
 
was aware of the card, but didn't know that Krush is also on Abema.
 
LOL @ that glove flying off. Should went with the Hyabusas...

Abema is doing tons of fight coverage now. K-1 Japan was blowing ratings out of the water (the last K-1 event got like 900Kish viewers and became the most watched show in the history of their sports channel by a factor of 2-3x) so Abema spun off all the fight content two months ago and made a 'Kakutogi Channel'. Now they do free live coverage of Krush, REBELs, UFC, Bellator, DEEP, Shooto, etc.

Great time to be a kakutogi fan in Japan. Terrible time to be a kakutogi fan trying to get in on it since I swear those guys are catching up to the fact that we're using VPNs and making it harder for us.

@Karaev fan what did Takeru say at the end?

"That you all for coming tonight. Even though this was an exhibition match and not a real fight, I wanted put off an even better performance than in my usual fights and excite all you guys. As you know, I've been kidding that I was going to KO Kaew before the fight, but I've actually been bringing my conditioning up to real fight levels and went into this with that mindset. I actually wanted to drop Kaew, but my goal tonight was to force him to pull out even a fraction of his real effort. Well I gave it my best, but he was really strong. Yes (laughter). Thank you very much Kaew.

"But we always knew Kaew is a really great fighter. It was my hope to be able to trade blows with him in some fashion, so I'm happy to get the opportunity in this exhibition match and do that in this Krush Nagoya event. Thank you very much. Now Krush is super hot and exciting, but we also have a K-1 event in September. Kaew will be fighting too. K-1's in Tokyo, but it'll be great if you guys can come out to see the fights. Thank you very much for today."

Do you know who he's fighting yet?

Its going to be Yasuyuki, the REBELS Muay Thai champion. He is currently on a 4 fight skid (majority decision losses to Starboy Kwaythonggym, Rashata, and Umeno Genji).

His greatest achievement so far this year is an accidental headbutt which ended not only the REBELs main event fight vs. Umeno, but also fractured his nose and orbital so bad that Umeno was forced to scrap a Raja title shot he had planned later this year.

K-1 really needs new talents to fight Takeru...I mean go find a Thai (that is not a total can).
If even Glory can do it, then you can do it.

Maybe Weerasakreck can pull some strings and get Yodsila Fairtex signed to k1. He's a solid fighter and fights just a bit below 57kg.

More than one Thai at a time in K-1? Blasphemy.

But yeah agreed. Jamie Whelan is a decent signing for them, but they need more international competition in this class in total.

Even within Japan you'd hope they'd get Tenshin instead of Tobe.
 
not even mad they milking the Takeru train, if they doing great.
