K-1’s “Cinderella Boy” loses
By Zach Arnold | February 18, 2006
Hideo Tokoro, nicknamed “Cinderella Boy” by K-1, lost in the main event of ZST’s Differ Ariake show in Tokyo on Saturday night. He was KO’d in the second round by Lithuanian fighter Erikas Petraitis. The semi-main event saw Naoyuki Kotani & Darius Skliaudys go to a draw. Remigijus Morkevicius defeated Wataru Inatsu (U-FILE camp) in 75 seconds by KO.
Tokoro had been scheduled to work the HERO’s 3/15 Nippon Budokan show in Tokyo.

Who would’ve won the bout between Tokoro and Royce Gracie if there had been judges? I heard Royce slapped him 200 times in the head.
Royce just tapped on Tokoro’s ear while he was in his guard. If you score the fight by damage done, then Tokoro is the clear winner. But if you score by control, then Royce did control the 40 pounds lighter Tokoro most of the fight.
