The deceased's great Billy Mays It's here, but wait! There's more!
Compared to the superstar who achieved the legendary feat of the 8th King, Anpo, who does not have that, wants to worry about everything from the first round. Pacquiao's right jab, lead hook, left straight, left check hook, all of them are very first-class, but what is noteworthy is the footwork that makes it all possible. pic.twitter.com/q5N2eyYbAZ

Yu Saito vs. Yuta Kubo
Round 1: Kubo in gold, Saito in blue. Slow start, first significant blow is a head kick from Kubo that's half blocked. Saito goes for a hard double attempt but is thwarted. Backs Kubo into the corner and into a phone booth. They exchange clinch knees. The ref separates them. Kubo lands a low kick and gets hooked as a counter. Saito charges in, Kubo lands a big shot. As Saito tries to charge in, Kubo throws him down.
Round 2: Saito sprints for a single but can't get it. Kubo kicks him in the ribs and hits him in the forearm instead. Saito ducks and Kubo kicks, nearly sending Saito crashing down. Saito manages to dodge some of them but it's still no fun. Kubo now puts his hands down and taunts Saito. Kubo again lands a punch to the body and dodges a reflex shot. Saito tries to move forward but is taken down by a jab. Saito goes for a single but can't get it. Now he goes for a double but can't get it either.

Final result: Kubo Yuta beat Saito Yu
Hiromasa Ogikubo vs Makoto Shinryu
Round 1: The backstory here is that Shinryu was a former student of Ougikubo's, and they had a falling out. Shinryu is black, Ougikubo is green. Shinryu takes the lead with an overhand jab. Shinryu gets in half guard and lands a big takedown slam. Ougikubo gets full guard and lands a punch from below with a right hand. Shinryu gets up, but Ougikubo pushes him off and stands. Ougikubo kicks the leg multiple times. Both men land lefts.
I like to call this Shenron's first frame, but this one isn't scored per round, it's scored for the entire fight.
Round 2: Ogikubo charges in for a headbutt takedown, but Shenron quickly gets up. The headbutt leaves Shenron with a large cut above his left eye. The match is stopped to check on Shenron. He eventually recovers enough to continue.
The pace is much slower than before. Ogikubo charges in and meets Shenron's level change, but Ogikubo blocks a takedown attempt. Left from Ogikubo. Low kick from Shenron, answered with a straight left. Right punch from Shenron just before the bell rings.
Round 3: A slow start to the final stanza. Ogikubo checks Shinryu with his chin and Makoto doesn't like it. The younger man quickly gets a takedown and goes for a guillotine. Ogikubo in full guard. Ogikubo finally puts his feet on his hips and pushes to his feet. 90 seconds left. Ogikubo resorts to leg kick attacks. Ogikubo pushes Shinryu into the ropes and into the corner. Ogikubo clinches but does nothing. Finally lets go and swings.
Final result: Hiromasa Ogikubo defeated Makoto Shinryu
