That was a brutal war. Yabuki's win puts him right back in the mix for a trilogy with Kenshiro Teraji, who hasn’t looked as sharp lately but continues delivering incredible fights. That cut will keep Yabuki out for a while—give me Teraji vs. Olascuaga II for unification in the meantime. Also, how good is Junto Nakatani to have beaten both Seigo Yuri Akui and Masamichi Yabuki when they were all prospects coming up?
