2/20 DEEP Impact 40 - Bu Kyung Jung Added

Friday, 6 February 2009



DEEP have announced another couple of fights for DEEP 40 which will take place in Korakuen Hall on Friday February 20.

I am really excited about the lightweight tournament! The match-ups were announced today and the winner will be the DEEP Lightweight Champion (forget everything I said about Obiya earlier!).

Korean Bu Kyung Jung, the guy that almost submitted Aoki at Yarennoka a little over a year ago, returns. In spite of his record, I am really excited to see the former olympic medalist. The rest of the participants were announced earlier, and this is looking like a very good tournament.

Former DEEP welterweight champion, Hidehiko Hasegawa returns to the DEEP ring and will face Makoto Ishikawa. If it is the Makoto Ishikawa I think it is, he must have gained a bit of weight to be in the same weight division as Hasegawa... Or maybe Hasegawa has lost some...

The last fight added today is Alliance talent Yuki Ito who will face ZST fighter Kota Okazawa. This should be a very good fight.

Hidehiko Hasegawa 15-11-5 vs. 11-9-1 Makoto Ishikawa
Yuki Ito 7-2-3 vs. 4-1-2 Kota Okazawa
