Kazusada Higuchi vs. Konosuke Takeshita (DDT, 1/7/2017)

DDT - Saitama Slam! Vol. 18 (1/7/2017)

KO-D Openweight Championship #1 Contender Tournament - Semi Final: Kazusada Higuchi vs. Konosuke Takeshita

This was a battle of fighting spirits, sheer physicality from start to finish. Takeshita does a hellish workover of the neck, borrowing some methods that Omega unleashed Okada a couple of days prior. Higuchi is a hard-hitter, but he's also really good at selling -- I loved how he stumbled around whenever he took a big blow. The finishing run was straight out of 80s All Japan.

****1/4
