2/1 Pancrase Changing Tour 1 - LIVE RESULTS

Pancrase is kicking off this year's Neo-Blood Tournament. Who will win this year? I know very few fighters in here, but have seen "Pitan" on a couple of occations, and he is good.

There will be a total of 32 fights today and I will be ring-side. The results will be up periodically throughout the day.

The main-card holds a couple of featherweight fights, look for 1 maybe both winners to make it into the Sengoku Featherweight GP.

Some very good fights here! Look out for Obata and Hirayama, they should meet in the nextr round and it should be a good fight. Also Gou Yamanaka looked very good.

Main-Card:
1. Welter: "Strasser" Kiichi Kunimoto Def. Shingo Suzuki by arm-triangle Round 1 3:00
"Strasser" dominates the stand-up and Suzuki takes it to the ground. "Strasser" gets a tight arm-triangle, Suzuki does not tap and he goes to sleep.

2. Welter: Asaki Honda Def. Kousei Kubota by Dec. 2-0
A very close decision in a VERY good fight that does not go to the ground. Kubotaa is rightly disappointed.

3. Light-Heavyweight: Hikaru Sato Def. Ryuji Ohori Round 1 3:46 by Heel-hook.
Sato working on the leg-lock most of the round.

4. Fly: Takuya Eizumi Def. Tokuaki Ninomiya Round 1 1:04 by KO
The streacher comes out again (been out twice already), but is not needed.

5. Light: Hiroki "AB" Aoki Def. Takafumi Ito by Decision 2-0
"AB" finally gets a win! Even if it is a VERY close decision.

6. Feather: Jameel "The Sargent" Massouh Def. Masaya Takita "J-Taro" Round 1 2:51 by TKO
Stong win by Mossouh, he knocks "J-Taro" down and follows up with punches. The ref is forced to step in.

7. Feather: Masanori Kanehara Def. Kenji Arai by TKO Round 1 3:14
ZST fighter kanehara tags Arai, Arai hits the ground and the ref steps in
After the fight, Kanehara makes an appeal to be included in the Sengoku GP.

Main Event - Lightweight King of Pancrase:
8. Katsuya Inoue Def. Daisuke Hanazawa "13" by Decision 3-0
Hanazawa won round 1, after that the champion took over the fight. A deserved win for Inoue.
