Smackgirl has added several matches to their June 30 Korakuen Hall show. Ayumi "Edge" Saito and the masked fighter 15 are among the additions. The last time we saw 15 she was unconcious from a Hisae Watanabe punch. Yuka Tsuji spoke to Sportsnavi about her big "winner take all" match against WINDY Tomomi.
Yuka Tsuji says she can't wait to prove that she is the strongest woman on June 30. WINDY Tomomi demanded this match several times as she lost to Tsuji in 2002 and wants revenge. Tsuji says she doesn't need to prove anything but Tomomi has earned this match with her record. Tsuji is angry that Tomomi has accused her of ducking her. Tsuji said Tomomi didn't earn a shot at the Lightweight Title in the number one contender tournament last year and now Tsuji wants to shut her up. Tsuji says the "winner take all" stipulation was her idea and she told Tomomi to put her money where her mouth is.
Tsuji says she has some new techniques planned for Tomomi along with her intention to give out megaphones to fans for some megaphone beating at the show. This is what fans do at baseball games in Japan and Tsuji is a big Hanshin Tigers fan. However, she won't say what her new move is. Tsuji says Tomomi has improved since 2002 but so has she. Tsuji is so confident of victory that she said she will use the prize money to buy some new training goods that she has already ordered. This should be a hell of a fight. Here's the card so far. All matches are scheduled for two five minute rounds unless otherwise noted.
