Japan - Heavyweights
There are 3 fighters in the Heavyweight division. All 3 fighters are rated the same so I drew lots and Akira Saito recieves the first round bye.
Semi-Final:
Jiro Ichikawa vs Rikijo Yoneda - Ichikawa built up a big lead then held barly rose from a 13th round knockdown to win the 9-6, 11-4, 10-5 decision.
Final:
Akira Saito vs Jiro Ichikawa - Saito had a poor first round then came roaring out landing hooks and uppercuts seemingly at will until the referee ended the fight at 2:44 in the 2nd round for the TKO! Saito moves on to the World Tournament.
