As reported late Monday, American Jonidan Wakichiro prevailed in his 5th match over the massive Maeta, brining his record to 3-2, one win away from his kachi-koshi. Maeta is so large (about 500 pounds) that he can barely move under his own power, but Wakaichiro applied several brutal tsuppari and knocked him off balance. Isaac Newton took care of the rest.
Well done to Wakaichiro, everyone at Tachiai is looking forward to your next match.
Wakaichiro has tape on his right knee… it’s a rough sport.
Those were some brutal blows. He had a better plan for beating a big guy than Harumafuji himself! Way.to.go.
Looks like waka is boxing with those strikes.
Those looked painful. That was a big dude.
He slapped the hell out of him. Good man
Hope that knee is ok
Once again proving that mass can be overcome with brains and leverage!
