Shoot Boxing held a press conference yesterday to promote the upcoming Girls S-Cup tournament. One of the first round matchups announced is RENA vs Hisae Watanabe. And that's what this video is about. It's mostly the two of them yakking at each other. The two were supposed to face each other in April but RENA suffered a broken finger. VALKYRIE Lightwight Champ V Hajime and Shoot Boxing regular Ai Takahashi also spoke but they were overshadowed by the other two. Shoot Boxing also announced that veteran pro wrestler Nanae Takahashi will appear on the show. They didn't name an opponent but JEWELS MMA fighter HIROKO is on this show and she's a good size match for Takahashi. Despite what some uninformed fans might think, Shoot Boxing is NOT MMA. What is it? Do you ever watch MMA with someone who doesn't like grappling? Shoot Boxing is supposed to be Standing Vale Tudo. But the only difference between Shoot Boxing and standard kickboxing is throws can be used to score points. But there's no ground work. It's mostly striking. Fortunately for Shoot Boxing owner Takeshi Caesar, his top attraction is the very attractive 19 year old RENA. Combine that with Hisae Watanabe's charisma and sex appeal and they're going to get a lot of attention anywhere. Imagine the kind of attention JEWELS would get with a match like that. The other thing of interest is a couple of third graders trained by Fuuka will appear in an exhibition. So now the speculation begins about Fuuka possibly returning to joshi puroresu. She said on her blog not to jump the gun but she also acknowledged the possibility of starting her own promotion next year. I'll keep an eye on that.
