DEEP Megaton GP Second Round (5/24/2008)

Along with the DEEP Megaton GP's second round is the program of ClubDEEP from 5/24/2008, which I'll review later. First though, this. The intro for the show features a hardcore song from some random Japanese band called "Fat Boy" and shows clips from the first round fights as well as fat people eating and fat ring girls. This is incredible already.

1) Kosaku Shikmasu vs. Itomo Ariyama: Ariyama is the man wearing overalls and he might be among the worst MMA fighters ever. Reserve bout?

FIGHT: Shikmasu TKO Rnd 1. He throws a front kick at the start of the fight and you can see Ariyama immediately reconsider this idea of his to fight professionally. Later he absorbs a body kick, and then a couple knees to the head before he crumples to the mat. The ref flops on him to stop the onslaught.

2) Ken Orihashi vs. Mamoru Nakamura: Should be a brawl.

FIGHT: Orihashi TKO Rnd 1. Wild brawl as expected. Rock Em Sock Em Robots with both men going down, but Orihashi gets the last knockdown and pounds out Nakamura with hammerfists, forcing a ref stoppage.

3) Katsuhiko Kumano vs. Shunji Kosaka: Kosaka is by far smaller. Kumano may be the biggest man in the tourney.

FIGHT: Kosaka TKO Rnd 1. Kumano comes rushing forward and is felled with a right hand, going straight backwards. Kosaka jumps on him and punches and the ref stops it. 10 seconds!

4) Yoichi Babaguchi vs. Yusuke Kawaguchi: Baba Booey is HUGE. Not Kumano HUGE but HUGE. Kawaguchi is still big, but has some discernable wrestling talent.

FIGHT: Kawaguchi TKO Rnd 1. Babaguchi is hit with punches right away because Kawaguchi trains for real reals and ends up being battered mercilessly for 16 seconds until finally collapsing into the ropes and seeing the ref stop it.

5) Shinsuke Inoue vs. Katsumi Yamada: Inoue's hair is bizarre: like a bowl cut and then tied to a pony tail, but short. And dyed blonde.

FIGHT: Inoue TKO RND 1. Yamada comes forward, lands a right hand, and gets down Inoue! I'm surprised the fat boy could do that. But he does nothing on top and appears gassed 40 seconds in. The ref forces a standup and Inoue throws Yamada with a cool judo sweep, mounts him, and throws hammerfists and punches until the ref stops it.

FIGHT OF THE NIGHT: Nakamura/Orihashi

KO OF THE NIGHT: Kosaka/Kuman

OVERALL FOR THE EVENT: 7.5 out of 10. It was over and done in like 20 minutes! And it had huge fat guys fighting! C'mon, what is wrong with this? Yeah, no good fights. Yeah, no real skill. But if you are watching the Megaton GP, you know what you are getting. I would rather watch this than a lot of single fights, which it takes about the same amount of time as doing. Kawaguchi does a locker room interview while wearing a Lilo And Stitch shirt. What a dude.
