10/25 Pancrase Changing Tour - Title Fight Announced

Pancrase have added a flyweight title fight to this card on October 25 in Differ Ariake. The champion Mitsuhisa Sunabe will take on undefeated challenger Isao Hirose. Hirose was the Neo-Blood champion in 2008, and the fighter he defeated in the final, Takuya Eizumi got the title shot before him. Now Hirose is rightly ranked #1 and he has earned his title shot.

Also on the card is Seiya Kawahara, Kawahara fought in the DREAM featherweight GP, now he is back at bantamweight, something that should suit him a lot better. He has already had a shot at the Pancrase title, and is one of the more popular Pancrase fighters, mainly because he tends to finish his fights in spectacular fashion. He is ranked #1, but had his title shot in December last year, and he might have to wait a little more for another one. This time he is taking on Ryota Sasaki, who is on a 4 fight winning streak, but would be the underdog in this fight.

Previously announced on this card was the fight between the bantamweight king of Pancrase and the former Shooto featherweight champion and last year's Cage Force tournament finalist, Masahiro Oishi. This should be a very good fight!

Flyweight King of Pancrase title fight:
Mitsuhisa Sunabe 10-5-3 vs. 6-0-0 Isao Hirose

Bantam: Seiya Kawahara 7-2-0 vs. 4-2-1 Ryota Sasaki
Fly: Takuya Eizumi 5-2-0 vs. 3-2-1 Kiyotaka Shimizu
Bantam: Manabu Inoue 7-5-1 vs. 19-11-7 Masahiro Oishi

Participants:
Ichiro Kanai 9-10-3
Keiichiro Yamamiya 36-24-9

6/7 Pancrase Changing Tour - Weigh-In & Fight Order

It is a stacked card that Pancrase is putting on in Differ Ariake tomorrow (Sunday). The fact that Sengoku veteran Ryo Kawamura opens the main card should be an indication of how stacked this card is. The Pancrase Light-Heavyweight title holder is fighting in a non-title fight.

The main event will see Sengoku Lightweight title holder Satoru Kitaoka take on Pancrase and DREAM (Dynamite) veteran Yukio Sakagushi. This fight will probably last around 1 minute. Either a KO to Sakaguchi, or a more likely submission to Kitaoka.

The co-main event is the Flyweight King of Pancrase title fight between Mitsuhisa Sunabe and Yukio Sakaguchi. Also on the card is Isao Hirose, with a win here he should be next in line for a title shot.

Another Sengoku veteran fighting in this event is Korean standout Choi Mu Bae, who defeated Dave Hermann in the last Sengoku event. He is taking on Pride veteran Katsuhisa Fujii.

Differ Ariake should be packed for this event!

10/1 Pancrase Shining Tour - RESULTS

Just came back from the Pancrase event tonight, upgraded my camera and the pictures will be up this Friday. After the event there are a couple of things that stick out... The 4 last fights were AWESOME!! I have seen Hisamatsu fight 3 times now, but only today did he show me anything, this was a very good fight and extremely entertaining, even though he lost the decision.

With Kei Yamamiya in the main event I have the same feeling, he has been boring every time I have watched him, until tonight! Ryo Kawamura really brought the action and handed it to Yamamiya. Yamamiya on his hand really answered the challenge and it turned out to be a fight worthy of a King of Pancrase title fight. Good job to both the fighters! It should be mentioned that Kawamura was out in the lobby just minutes after the fight, signing t-shirts for fans as they were walking home. It is really the sort of thing I like to see from a figher.

Again Maximo Blanco, the Sengoku sponored fighter was close to controversy... There was a discussion of whether this should be a NC today as well... A fighter HAS to stop when the ref says so... Babalu had a similar experience in UFC and Blanco REALLY(!) needs to learn the lesson of respecting his opponent! He needs to stop when the ref says so.

Ok, so I am little hard on him right now, but he is walking a very thin line and this is an important lesson. No one will fight him if he continues. That being said, he is a HUGE talent, and if he learns (as I am sure he will) he is a force.

King of Pancrase Light-Heavy weight Title fight:
8. Ryo Kawamura Def. Keiichiro Yamamiya by decision 3-0

7. Koji Oishi Def. Naoyuki Kotani by decision 3-0
6. Ichiro Kanai Def. Hiromitsu Kanehara by decision 3-0
5. Takenori Sato Def. Yuji Hisamatsu by decision 3-0
4. Yuichiro Shirai "Yukito" vs. Ranki Kawana 0-1 DRAW
3. Maximo Blanco Def. Hiroki "AB" Aoki by TKO Round 1 0:22
2. Yasutomo Tanaka vs. Hayato Shimizu DRAW
1. Kiyotaka Shimizu vs. Takuma Ishii DRAW

10/1 Pancrase Shining Tour - Fights added/Fight Order announced

Pancrase have added 2 fights to the October 1 event, one of these I predict will be a masacre. Maximo Blanco destroyed his previous opponent, but got a NC for an accidental headbut leading to a cut. It was a controversial fight, but there is no doubt that this guy is talented. "AB" fought agaist Steve Magdaleno in the same event. He suffered a loss, and never really showed anything. Magdaleno was better standing and on the ground. I predict a very tough fight for "AB".

The other fight added today is between Yasutomo Tanaka, who also fought in the Neo-Blood finals, he lost the final to Hirotoshi Saito in a very good fight. Hayato Shimizu last to Hirotoshi Saito in the Neo-Blood semi-final, so this looks like it will be an interesting fight.


Added:
Maximo Blanco 0-0-0 (1NC) vs. 0-1-0 Hiroki "AB" Aoki
Yasutomo Tanaka 5-2-3 vs. 4-2-0 Hayato Shimizu

10/1 Pancrase Shining Tour - Fights added

The Shining Tour goes on, and so far this year there has been some very good events. Today, they announced another 4 fights for their October 1. event in Korakuen Hall.

The main event will most likely be the Light-Heavy weight title fight between Kei Yamamiya and Sengoku veteran Ryo Kawamura. It should be a very interesting fight, Yamamiya has been very good this year, and beat Kawamura in their last fight. Lets see if he can repeat that performance. Yamamiya tends to go the distance and is on a 3 fights winning streak. Kawamura lost his last fight against Kevin Randleman by decision in Sengoku 2.

6/1 Pancrase Shining Tour - Korakuen Hall

Pancrase is holding 2 events in 1 week. The Osaka event is happening this Sunday then next Sunday we will have the Shining Tour in Korakuen Hall. I am not sure who "Junior" is, but the Pancrase site lists him with a 9-0 record, he is a Chute Boxe fighter and his fight with Izuru Takeuchi should be a good one. A good mix of experienced and talented fighters in this event.

Kanehara has not won a fight since 2001, lets see if he can get a win against KeiYamamiya.

I am not sure of the fight order.

Izuru Takeuchi 24-9-6 vs. 9-0-0 Junior
Yukio Sakaguchi 1-3-0 vs. 4-10-2 Masakazu Kuramochi
Yuichiro Shirai "Yukito" 3-5-3 vs. 1-3-2 Toshihiro Shimizu

4/27 Pancrase - Shining Tour 3

Pancrase is continuing their good year. I think the 2 first events this year have been really good, and this event looks good as well.

This time, they dont have any unbeaten fighters on the main card, but lots fighters/fights to get excited about. The main event is awesome, for the lightheavy weight belt. Shoji is the Lightweight champ, Rafiq and Wada will battle for the King of Pancrase welterweight title.

Then some lesser known fighters, Matti Makela is coming to Japan to face "the Pink Typhoon"... In my opinon, Matti should take this. Also look out for Curbanov Djamal on this card. A few of the SK Absolute Russia guys have taken Pancrase by storm lately. Djamal is the latest to attempt this. He has a wealth of experience in Sambo and Combat Sambo, so look for this guy to get a quick win.

They have also added loads of Neo-Blood fights, I like this as its a good chance to see new fighters.

Yuki Kondo 48-20-6 vs. 32-22-9 Keiichiro Yamamiya
Shoji 6-2-0 vs. 16-7-4 Koji Oishi
Bryan Rafiq 5-2-0 vs. 16-8-8 Takuya Wada
Katsuya Inoue 16-5-2 vs. Curbanov Djamal
Yuji Hisamatsu 10-14-4 vs. 9-5-0 Matti Makela
Manabu Inoue 6-3-1 vs. 8-9-2 Masaya “J Taro” Takita
Daisuke Watanabe 17-27-4 vs. 2-2-0 Ryuji Ohori
Yukio Sakaguchi 1-2-0 vs. 5-10-3 Wataru Takahashi

NEO-BLOOD Tournament:
Steven Magdaleno 3-0-1 vs. 1-0-0 Pak Il-Gyu
Hirotoshi Saito vs. 4-1-0 Hayato Shimizu
Tanaka Yasutomo vs. 6-2-1 Motonobu Tezuka
Takuya Kosen 1-0-0 vs. Ryota Sasaki

4/27 Pancrase - Shining Tour 3

Pancrase have really been putting up some great cards so far this year. Shining Tour 3 looks very promising as well. Lightheavyweight champ Yuki Kondo is putting his title on the line against the number 1 challenger, KEI Yamamiya.

Also the newly crowned Lightweight champ, Shoji is fighting on this card. There will probably be a couple of additions to this card as well.

For me, I am looking forward to seeing fellow Scandinavian, Matti Makela. He is facing the experienced Hisamatsu.

Yuki Kondo 48-20-6 vs. 32-22-9 Keiichiro Yamamiya
Shoji 6-2-0 vs. 16-7-4 Koji Oishi
Bryan Rafiq 5-2-0 vs. 16-8-8 Takuya Wada
