| Ai Takahashi throws RENA |
After yesterday's confrontation at the weigh in, the question is would RENA be able to channel her anger into a win over Ai Takahashi. I think Takahashi got into her head and that gave her a big advantage. So at yesterday's SHOOT BOXING Korakuen Hall show, Takahashi showed she was really well prepared and won a unanimous decision. You'll notice I didn't mention RENA in the headline. That's because all the Japanese media coverage of this match led with RENA losing as opposed to Takahashi winning. They were all shocked. So I guess RENA is still the chosen one though Takahashi seemed very happy with her victory. She didn't finish her but Takahashi's punches were very crisp and her throws were much improved. And it looks like RENA gassed too as Takahashi dominated in the late rounds. By round five RENA needed a knockout and wasn't going to get it. She left with a bloody nose. Can she come back from this? I dunno but teen kickboxing champ Erika Kamimura won over Sylvia Ranotto by second round TKO on Saturday's RISE show. She broke Sylvia's nose. And the first thing she did was call out RENA. So I think that match may still happen though it might annoy Takahashi. SHOOT BOXING owner Takeshi Caesar knows money when he sees it.
