Takafumi Ito vs. Takaku Fuke. All on the mat and mainly positioning.

Kosei Kubota vs. Ikuhisa Minowa. Clip.

Kim Jong Wang vs. Chris Chalmers. Clip. Kim actually wins.

Yoshiki Takahashi vs. Jason Godsey. This was edited down, but it looked pretty good because both men went at it hard and it was pretty even throughout.

Kiuma Kunioku vs. John Lober. Good fairly even bout. Lober got the best of it by a little, but he clearly wasn't familiar with the rules and it cost him.

Ranking Bout: Osami Shibuya (#7) vs. Bas Rutten. Very dull for a Bas match. Basically just posturing.

Ranking Bout: Minoru Suzuki vs. Keiichiro Yamamiya. Very good bout that was mostly contested on their feet. Yamamiya scores the "upset."

Ranking Bout: Masakatsu Funaki (#1) vs. Guy Mezger (#4). It was just a matter of who would make a mistake first.

KING OF PANCRASE TITLE MATCH: Yuki Kondo vs. Jason DeLucia. Good long match.

Yoshiki Takahashi vs. Kim Jong Wan. Kim was not surprisingly, really outclassed.

Keiichiro Yamamiya vs. Tra Telligman. Pretty even.

Osami Shibuya vs. John Lober. Highlights

Guy Mezger vs. Kiuma Kunioku. This seemed to be a theme match because it was almost all standup. Obviously, that gave Guy the advantage. Good bout.

Yuki Kondo vs. Leon Dijk. Kondo had no problem taking Dijk down and mounting him, but he couldn't really mount an offensive. Dijk was dominated, but at the same time he was never in any real trouble. Good long bout.

Pancrase Pancrash! Pancrase #28 12/6/97 ALIVE PANCRASE TOUR 1997 10 taped 11/16 Kobe Fashion Mart
-1hr 55min. Q=1st Gen

Kousei Kubota vs. Omar Bouiche. Kubota was superior technically, but he telegraphed his submissions and could never lock one in

Takaku Fuke vs. Satoshi Hasegawa. Good action. Interesting to watch. Fuke has fallen so far he's clearly worse than Hasegawa.

Ranking Bout: Osami Shibuya (#8) vs. Ikuhisa Minowa. Shibuya controlled this until the very end.

Keiichiro Yamamiya (#9) vs. Takafumi Ito. Almost all standing, but nothing happened when they were on their feet.

Masakatsu Funaki (#1) vs. Jason Godsey (#10). Vintage Funaki, looking for the opening, baiting the opponent to create it, then seizing the opening for the win.

Yuki Kondo (5th KOP) vs. Yoshiki Takahashi. Good bout with a lot of striking. Looked more like a "typical" shoot than a Pancrase bout.

Pancrase Pancrash! Pancrase #29 1/3/98 ALIVE PANCRASE TOUR 1997 11 taped 12/20/97 Yokohama Bunka Taiikukan
-2hr 40min. Q=1st Gen

Kosei Kubota vs. Takafumi Ito. Good Pancrase style bout with both men always working and trying submissions.

Kim Jong Wan vs. Kiuma Kunioku. Kiuma tried to shoot and he caught Kim's kick on the way in, but Kim then put him in a guillotine choke. Kiuma had too much pride to tap to a guy with Jong Wan's record, but he couldn't escape so he was choked unconscious and the ref had to stop the bout. BIG upset!

Osami Shibuya vs. Igor Zinoviev. Even match, but not interesting because neither were able to mount any kind of an offensive.

Satoshi Hasegawa vs. Guy Mezger (#3). Guy was clearly superior and pretty much dominated. Hasegawa refused to submit and you could hear guy saying to him, "Come on man, I'm going to break your arm (if you don't tap)." In his post match interview, Guy said he was about to let go of the hold because he didn't want to have to break Hasegawa's arm.

Ikuhisa Minowa vs. Jason Delucia (#2). Minowa broke the gentleman's agreement of not hitting on the ground so Delucia kind of lost control and threw several open hands from the mount before Minowa reversed him.

John Lober vs. Ryushi Yanagisawa (#6). Yanagisawa accidentally breaks Lober's leg with an ankle lock.

Keiichiro Yamamiya (#9) vs. Bas Rutten (#7).

King of Pancrase Title Match: Yuki Kondo vs. Masakatsu Funaki. Not much of a match. Kondo made a mistake, and Funaki, as usual, doesn't let you get away with that. Funaki wins KOP.

-1hr 55min. Q=TV Master

Satoshi Hasegawa vs. Ikuhisa Minowa. Hasegawa was the better of the two, but certainly not dominant.

Katsuomi Inagaki vs. Kim Jong Wan. Inagaki wasn't really impressive, but you don't have to be against Jong Wan.

Kosei Kubota vs. Kiuma Kunioku (#4). Kunioku tried a lot of submissions from his back. Kiuma was far superior and was probably carrying Kubota because it looked like he could have choked him out a couple times if he wanted to.

Jason Delucia (#2) vs. Takafumi Ito. Delucia was always in control.

Ranking Match: Keiichiro Yamamiya (#9) vs. Osami Shibuya (#8). Good even match, although not incredibly exciting.

Ranking Match: Jason Godsey (#10) vs. Ryushi Yanagisawa (#6). Godsey tried to shoot in, but Yanagisawa KO'd him with a brutal knee lift.

Semmy Schilt vs. Minoru Suzuki (#5). Suzuki was too much for Schilt on the ground, but after Schilt escaped from a udehishigigyakujujigatame, Schilt came back and KO'd him.

Tony Rojo vs. Kim Jong Wan. Short nothing match.

Satoshi Hasegawa vs. Semmy Schilt. Schilt should have won this match as he's better than Hasegawa by a pretty wide margin, but he made a one dumb mistake and that's one more than you are typically allowed in this league.

*Yokohama dojo (Minoru Suzuki's boys) vs. Tokyo dojo (Masakatsu Funaki's boys)

Ryushi Yanagisawa (Yokohama) vs. Keiichiro Yamamiya (Tokyo). Basically a stalemate.

Kiuma Kunioku (Yokohama) vs. Yuki Kondo (Tokyo). Good, highly competitive Pancrase style match. They worked hard, but neither came close to winning.

Osami Shibuya (Yokohama) vs. Yoshiki Takahashi (Tokyo). Good match. Takahashi was "in control" most of the time, but Shibuya was working from the bottom.

Takafumi Ito (Yokohama) vs. Takaku Fuke (Tokyo). Fuke has fallen so low that even Ito has his way with him. Fuke mainly fought defensively. He was able to stave off submissions, but he isn't able to get much offense in these days.

Katsuomi Inagaki (Yokohama) vs. Masakatsu Funaki (Tokyo). Yokohama dojo had already clinched the victory, so it didn't matter that the final match was a huge mismatch. Funaki toyed with Inagaki for a few minutes before putting him away.

-2hr. Q=TV Master

Kousei Kubota vs. Minoru Suzuki. Suzuki hasn't fallen so far that Kubota can give him a fight. Just wait until 1999 though(:.

Jason McCulley vs. Daisuke Ishii. Ishii's debut. Only thing notable was Ishii getting cut from a kick to the head.

Katsuomi Inagaki vs. Takafumi Ito. Interesting match. Inagaki was not surprisingly the better of the two on their feet, while Ito was not surprisingly the better of the two on the mat. They went back and forth on the mat a lot. Inagaki knocked Ito down with a nasty kick. Ito was close to getting a submission, but time ran out on him and he lost on points. Good technical match.

Leon Dijk vs. Yoshiki Takahashi. Not surprisingly there was a lot of striking here. These guys fought in Pancrase terms like they didn't like each other much, but striking is their forte so there was non of that gentleman's agreement stuff here. Takahashi actually suplexed Dijk at one point.

Ranking Bout: Ryushi Yanagisawa (#5) vs. Guy Mezger (#3). Dull match with Mezger dominating on the mat but never coming close to a submission.

Masakatsu Funaki (6th KOP) vs. Semmy Schilt. Funaki dominated on the mat. Most of the bout was standup though and it wasn't the most exciting standup because they were a little too far away from each other and neither guy would shoot in or move forward. Schilt was very tentative when it came to striking and Funaki was too quick for him, so when Schilt threw a strike Funaki would simply back out of the way. Schilt's open hand strikes did open up a cut above Funaki's right eye which was dripping blood.

Pancrase Pancrash! Pancrase #34 5/9/98 ADVANCE PANCRASE TOUR 1998 taped 4/26 Kanagawa Yokohama Bunka Taiikukan-2hr. Q=TV Master

Adrian Serrano vs. Kiuma Kunioku. Good even bout.

Ranking Bout: Semmy Schilt vs. Jason Godsey (#10). Schilt kneed Godsey when he predictably shot in, which caused a disgusting cut. Godsey was bleeding like crazy, so the doctor stopped it.

Satoshi Hasegawa vs. Ikuhisa Minowa. Clip

Osami Shibuya vs. Takaku Fuke. Clip

Tony Rojo vs. Minoru Suzuki. Mainly a bunch of dancing around. Neither deserved to win. Bad and boring.

Ranking Bout: Jason Delucia (#2) vs. Ryushi Yanagisawa (#5). Good technical bout, but not particularly exciting.

Ranking Bout: Keiichiro Yamamiya (#6) vs. Yuki Kondo (#1). Very hard fought. Good technical bout. Yamamiya showed continued improvement.

KING OF PANCRASE TITLE MATCH: Funaki (6th KOP) vs. Guy Mezger (#3). Funaki was supposed to be really sick. I don't know if that is true, but I do know he didn't seem to have anything tonight. He went a hard fought 30 minutes, but he lacked his usual power and speed. Funaki was cut above his eye early. Guy mainly used his power to dominate Funaki. Guy wins King of Pancrase.

Pancrase Pancrash! Pancrase 7/6/98 ADVANCE PANCRASE TOUR 1998 taped 6/21 Kobe Fashion Mart
-1hr 55min. Q=TV Master

Jason Godsey vs. Kim Jong Wan. As usual, Kim was easy prey.

Semmy Schilt (#7) vs. Guy Mezger (7th KOP). Controversial match. Schilt caught Guy with a big knee lift when he was shooting in and then hit him with 2 palm strikes. Guy was definitely knocked silly, but clearly he was fine to continue. Clearly to everyone but the ref that is, as he stopped the match claiming Guy didn't put his arms up in fighting pose. Guy was shocked and pissed. In the post match, Guy said he told the ref he wasn't hurt so he didn't even want a count, which is why he figured he didn't have to raise his hands.

Minoru Suzuki vs. Takaku Fuke. Fuke actually wins on points due to catching Suzuki with one lucky shot that put Suzuki down. I've been saying Fuke should retire for ages, so if there was any doubt about whether Suzuki should retire, this erases it.

Kosei Kubota vs. Ikuhisa Minowa. Typical even Pancrase match.

Daisuke Ishii vs. Takafumi Ito. Ishii had a big size advantage, but Ito has a lot of experience on him. Ito also had the better speed and technique. Thus, it made for a good match. Competitive and hard fought.

Yoshiki Takahashi vs. Katsuomi Inagaki. Mainly standup. Takahashi was really cocky, but he wasn't getting the job done. A lot of action, but hardly anything that was attempted worked/landed.

Keiichiro Yamamiya vs. Ryushi Yanagisawa. Intense bout. Started out hot, but died from there.

Kiuma Kunioku vs. Shone Carter. This was the best fight on the show because it was pretty even, but wasn't at a loss for action.

KING OF PANCRASE Title Match: Semmy Schilt vs. Yoshiki Takahashi. Takahashi's strategy was to keep it in standup and try to knock Schilt out, but Schilt has a huge reach advantage and wouldn't let Takahashi get close enough. Takahashi always had to lunge in with his strikes, so he couldn't get much on them and was also more succeptible to counter punching. When Takahashi would "take Schilt down" (it was more like Schilt would just go down and use his size to try to take the dominant position), Schilt would always wind up in a controlling position either by reaching around Takahashi's body or getting a reversal. Schilt wouldn't be much if he was a foot smaller, but you have to give him credit for knowing how to use his size to win him the match.

-1hr 55min. Q=TV Master

Hikaru Sato vs. Takaku Fuke. Sato controlled most of the fight, but neither came close to finishing. Fuke is too experienced to fall for anything, but the younger guys are physical superior not to mention healthier. Sato did a nice headlock takedown and somersault guard pass. 2R.

Satoru Kitaoka vs. Kenji Arai. Even to the point of stalemate. The last minute was good because they knew they needed something to pull out the win, but otherwise it was uneventful. 2R.

Yoshiro Maeda vs. Mikio Takeuchi. Maeda was an energetic risk taker. He ran the ropes and tried a high knee. Takeuchi seemed to control him most of the time though. 1:50 of 10:00.

Yoshitomi Mishima vs. Masao Ando. Mishima was able to get mount and try to finish, but Ando got on top when he tried for the arm bar. However, Maeda triangled him. 2:34 of 7:22

Kei Yamamiya vs. Ichiro Kanai. Whole match was standup with an efficient and effective Yamamiya picking the debuting Kanai apart. Yamamiya looked really good mixing up his punches and throwing them all in combination. Enjoyable match. 3:51

Kengo vs. Tomohiko Hashimoto. Kengo wanted to strike from a distance, while Hashimoto wanted to fight from the clinch. These conflicting styles made it an interesting fight since there was action and both had some success. Hashimoto caught Kengo's kick, tripped him up, and did a German suplex. He actually tried to make it a rolling German, but Kengo blocked the 2nd. Unfortunately, Hashimoto had no ground defense to the point he didn't seem to know the guard. Still, it was a good short match. 4:17

Eiji Ishikawa vs. Osami Shibuya. Pretty good match. As usual there wasn't much damage done, but it was more offensive minded than typical Pancrase with a few chances taken. Ishikawa is a good striker that controlled standup. Shibuya lost the first round and was losing the second, but he got a headlock takedown and was punching away. Ishikawa got a takedown later in the round though, and showed some good ground punching. 2R

Akihiro Gono vs. Kosei Kubota. Gono was the better striker and wouldn't let Kubota get him down. He would go to the ground when the opportunity presented itself though, at one point having Kubota's back and landing regularly. They opened up in the third round, with Kubota knowing it was now or never and Gono making sure rather than shutting it down. Kubota wound up taking a lot more punishment in this round, but his desperation made the fight. 3R
