There were a couple of match-ups this weekend and from all reports they were some pretty entertaining fights. I've compiled the results from the events that went down. Andy Souwer, Saya Ito, Momi, Kaew Fairtex and a slew of other fighters saw action. 

During a highly anticipated match, the 15 year-old stand-out Saya Ito fought J-Girls Champion Momi in only her 3rd professional fight. In the 1st round, Ito landed a solid middle kick and knee combination. Momi fired back with left and right hooks. In round 2, Momi moved forward with left and right hooks and Ito tied her up in the clinch. From the clinch Ito threw a number of knees and Momi returned a few as well. In round 3, Ito landed some middle kicks and clinched with Momi. During the clinch she was able to throw Momi to the ground. Momi also worked her kicks and hooks. In the end one judge ruled the fight for Ito and the other 2 ruled it a draw.

On Krush 43, Pro-Wrestler turned Kickboxer Syuri faced Kanako Taniyama. In the 1st round, Taniyama landed front kicks to the body and the face of Syuri. Syuri punched from a distance and surprised Taniyama at the end of the round, landing with a spinning back fist. In round 2, Taniyama moved around quickly but appeared to be breathing from her mouth. This might be due to Syuri having the round times extended to match that of the men's. Syuri had a lot of distance to close, so when she did she threw punches and left middle kicks, which landed. In round 3, Taniyama continued to pester Syuri with her persistent use of the front kick, when Syuri would flinch she would also come in with punches. Taniyama also started clinching a lot, in order to rest, which allowed Syuri to land a left knee. Syuri won by unanimous decision.
