Super Tiger vs Yoshiaki Fujiwara (UWF) 12/05/1984
This was a great follow up match to the one they had earlier in the year. They picked up where they left off in that previous match. They go after each other right away. Tiger was excellent in this match. His strikes were brutal and his grappling was smooth. The mat work in this match was great because it had major importance to the overall match. There was only one part that was a little slow and it hurt the match a little. Fujiwara was also great here. He tried to slow down Tiger with his submissions. The match flowed very naturally despite the slow portion of it. The closing 7 to 8 minutes of the match were incredible. They absolutely battered each other. The finish was also great with Super Tiger just beating Fujiwara down to the point the referee stopped the match. Although there was the element of honor that a lot of shoot wrestling presents, they did a great job portraying some animosity between them. It was well balanced that way.
Final Rating - ****¼
