   Masato’s punching speed and precision is ridiculous

   But man that hair cut is something else

   I thought that Masato looked pretty dynamic in the first two rounds. He used weapons other than his hands. In the third he relied mainly on his hands. A good fight. I liked Drago’s audacity with the spinning back kicks and the axe kick. Maybe he used to be a world champion in tae kwon do. Bitchin!

   Drago is tired.

   Did everyone notice Drago’s Lion’s Roar in the 1st round; I was kinda waiting for Masato to roar back (lol)

   These 2 sure beat the shit out of each other- or at least they tried to. Masato’s haircut is second to none!!

   I LOVED Drago’s roar! It made the fight. More roars, less mullet haircuts! ( a new charity for muay thai?)

   OMG!!! That was the ugliest fight ever. Ugly meaning the most ungraceful sh*t I’ve ever seen in my life. Hard to believe that’s Japan’s best. Their technique was really difficult to watch. So akward. Maybe he should spend less time roaring and more time fighting.

    I think Masato looks like a kid that was in my math class in high school

    Drago’s roar was whack and unnecessary. And so is Masato’s haircut. But they both made up for it with good fighting. Too many big ineffective kicks from Drago. And Masato sure can take a hit! Or maybe it’s because he’s able to move with Drago.

    I expected more from Drago, at least with his leg work.
    Overall pretty predicted fight. Drago likes to cover up and Masato was all over him.
    We’ll see how Masato will do against Sato. Since Masato is faster, he will most likely take it by UD.

    I read somewhere that Masato was wathcing Bruce Lee movies and got inspired by the late Moviestar/street fighting brawler. So he got a Bruce Lee haircut. NOT KIDDING!!!

    WOW, i would kill to have Masato’s handspeed and combinations, that is definitely a product of his boxing and kickboxing training, not Muay Thai. Though, i don’t think his skills would work as well against elbows and clinching, as well as the scorecards in Thailand anyway. But anywhere else outside of Thailand his punching skills are definitely a marketable asset.
