Nobuhiko Takada vs Yoshiaki Fujiwara-UWF 25.10.1990.
A classic and a truly fascinating match, especially if you take their
february match into account. Fujiwara comes out swinging early which
sets the pace of the match-he rocks Takada with brutal punches and
headbutts and establishes dominance early on. Takada is extremely
cautious in his attacks against him having already been reversed in
their february bout. The majority of the knockdowns don't really serve
as nearfalls, rather their point is to establish who is in control off
the match and set the stage for the finish. The exception to this is the
last time Takada is knocked down as he falls down before just making it
to his feet at the last second. That moment completely changes the
atmosphere kicks off the finishing run. Takada's selling is crucial to
the match quality-the way he wobbles after Fujiwara's Leglock and slowly
falls down after a standing knock down in the corner keeps the crowd on
their toes. Fujiwara's downfall is his character-whenever he goes for
his usual quirks it costs him. Him laughing about finally getting Takada
in a dangerous Leglock allowed Takada to counter it by palm striking
the shit out of him and thus gaining one of his first openings in the
match. Takada's strategy is to kick through Fujiwara-and he varies his
kicks and strikes a lot due to Fujiwara's amazing defence. If he kicks
too high too early he'll get reversed and leglocked. If he doesn't time a
low kick well it's getting checked. That creates and unparalleled sense
of struggle giving everything that happens importance, and the action
itself is just epic-Takada kicking Fujiwara in the face is an amazing
spot on its own but context allows it to truly bloom. *****
