NEO - May History 2007 (5/3/2007)

NWA Women's Pacific & NEO Championship: Yoshiko Tamura (c) vs. Emi Sakura

This was a lot of fun. Emi does everything from double arm maneuvers, a moonsault, a 450 splash, to hip-based offense, and it is all well placed. She worked on top, always a few steps ahead. Tamura just threw stiff, jarring strikes. One trope I love in her matches are the strike combinations/sequences. She pummels Sakura. Great match, sick finish.
