9/13 Jewels 5th Ring - RESULTS

Jewels held their 5th event earlier today, the main event saw Korean veteran Seo Hee Ham take on Misaki Takimoto. Seo Hee Ham had not fought since her loss to Megumi Fuji in SmackGirl over a year ago, and took a decision win improving her record to 5-3. Her only losses are to Megmi Fuji, Yuka Tsuji and Miku Matsumoto.

This event got a little more attention than normal when the popular Mika Nagano posed semi-nude (corrected, I read that and think topless... Have not see the picure yet) for DEEP boss Saeki. The picures went on print in "Friday" and should be in my mailbox soon. The attention did not seem to affect Nagano as she took an impressive first round win.

German Alexandra Sanchez put on a strong performance as the handed the popular Shizuka Sugiyama her first loss.

8/23 ShootBoxing - "Hiroko"s Opponent Announced

Hiroko is one of the attractions on this ShootBoxing card. The main feature will of course be the tournament, even though the exhibition fight between Megumi Fuji and Hisae Watanabe would be enough to fill the Shinagawa Stellar Ball (Sutera Booru) in the Shinagawa Prince Hotel complex.

Today another of the main attractions had her opponent announced. The very tall (for Japanese) "Hiroko" will take on Cho Benkei under ShootBoxing rules, and I think that should complete the card just a few days out from the event.

8/23 ShootBoxing - Hisae Watanabe taking on Megumi Fuji!

Hisae Watanabe is the former DEEP female champion, and when she retired I thought it was way too early.

Now she might be back! Anyway for 1 fight... She will be taking on Megumi Fuji in a exhibition fight fought under EX-Mixed rules. That means round 1 is Jewels rules, round 2 Shootboxing. There will be 2x2min rounds.

I hope this means we will see more of her!

Anyway, the fight announced today will be the main event, and it features Korean SmackGirl and DEEP veteran, Seo Hee Ham and the very experienced Misaki Takimoto.

7/11 Jewels 4th Ring - RESULTS

Jewels held their 4th event in a packed Shin-Kiba 1st ring earlier today. The main event saw Japanese star Megumi Fuji take on the very popular Saori Ishioka.

I was expecting "Mega-Megu" to dominate this fight, but Ishioka should not be underestimated and she put of a good fight. This was Ishiokas first time to fight with punches to the face on the ground allowed, and she got to try out being on both sides of these.

It is interesting to see that both the AACC stars took exactly as long finishing their opponents in todays event.

Shizuka Sugiyama continues her winning streak and Harumi continues her losing streak (streaching 12 fights now).

Also, it seems the fight order that I posted earlier was wrong, but here are the results.

Main-Event - 52kg: Megumi Fuji Def. Saori Ishioka by arm-bar Round 2 4:17

ShootBoxing Rule: Rena Def. Tomoko SP by Decision 3-0
60kg: Hitomi Akano Def. Miki Morifuji by rear-naked choke Round 2 4:17
54kg: Mika Nagano Def. Rina Tomita by arm-bar round 2 0:35
64kg: Shizuka Sugiyama Def. Hari by Decision 3-0
50kg: Asami Kodera Def. Yukiko Seki by arm-bar Round 1 4:47
56kg: Mutsumi Kasai Def. Celine Haga by arm-lock Round 1 3:06
60kg: Hiroko Kitamura Def. Harumi by triangle choke Round 1 3:51
