If you’re looking for the K-1 results from today’s Saitama Super Arena show, click here.
Over at the Burning Spirit site, Caitsith has been filing a live show report on the MARS event that took place on Saturday in Tokyo at Ariake Colosseum. Also, Yunta Jimura at his Lutalivre Japanese blog has a show report. Apparently a good crowd size, prompting Yunta to speculate whether or not some of the building was papered (free or discounted tickets). K-1 cooperated with GCM/Keishukai in the event.
If anyone can post the full results in the comments section of this post (or add details), go for it.
Main results from the show:
- Akitoshi Tamura defeated Ian Loveland (Team Quest) with a triangle choke/lock.
- Yuji Hoshino and Yasunori Kanehara went to a draw after 3R.
- Kenji Arai defeated Takumi by KO in R2 from punches.
- Alan Karaev defeated Koji Kanechika (ex-New Japan Pro-Wrestling rookie) by an arm-lock for the tap-out. Koji fought on the DEEP 12th impact show as Hagane Samurai and got a win over Jun Ishii (9/15/2003 Ota-ku Gym show in Tokyo).
- Smackgirl rules match: Yuka Tsuji defeated Miyuki Ariga in the 2nd round with a heel hold.
- Thales Leites (Nova Uniao) defeated Osami Shibuya by decision after three rounds. Shibuya fought his usual game. His ring seconds were Kei’ichiro Yamamiya & Kiuma Kunioku.
- Rani Yahira (Brazil) defeated Takumi Yano by KO in the 3rd round with a triangle choke/lock.
- Kuniyoshi Hironaka defeated Ryan Schultz (Team Quest) in the 2nd round with a cross-arm scissors hold.
