Just so everyone is warned, there will be spoilers after the jump.
Today is the big day for Shoot Boxing! They have put together a very good card that includes female fighters, MMA stars, K-1 stars and Shoot Boxing stars. It should be a very good event and I will give you live results.
The S-Cup is a 1-day tournament format and there are 8 fighters competing for this year's title. This is the 6th time the S-Cup Tournament is arranged and previous winners are:
2006 - Kenichi Ogata (Beat Andy Souwer by decision in the final)
2004 - Andy Souwer (Beat Hiroki Shishido by TKO in the final)
2002 - Andy Souwer
1997 - Rayen Simson (Different format, from what I can see...)
1995 - Hiromu Yoshitaka
It should be a good night of fights again this year, and Andy Souwer has a shot at winning the title for the 3rd time.
The fights start at 4PM Japan time, there is a clock at the bottom right of my site. If you're not able to see it, you can use this site to see the local time in Japan: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/
