[Results] KINGS 6th ADVANCE

KING OF KINGS returned to a sold out Hayashi's Lounge in downtown Tokyo Japan for their "6th ADVANCE" event which took place on Saturday July 4th 2009. The event scored an overall 85.90 rating.

In the main event, the Featherweight title was on the line. Vegas Top Team's Masakazu Aoki (5-0-0) took little time in slipping a triangle submission on Garnett Layden (4-2-0) at 2:30 of the 1st round for the victory. Aoki took the fight to the ground early and after a flurry of submission attempts was able to finally beat Layden and lock in the submission. Masakazu Aoki becomes the new KINGS Featherweight Champion!

In the semi-main event, Heavyweight Hunter Rose (1-2-0) attempted the monumental task of trying to bring down the giant 270lbs Super-Hulk Luka Nesto (5-0-0) but it was too no avail as Nesto ended the fight early in the 1st round with a rear naked choke submission. Rose made a valiant effort being outweight by over 50 pounds and showed a lot of heart and soul but in the end Nesto was just powerful an opponent.

Welterweight Keiji Suzuki (4-0-0) made an excellent first impression in KINGS as he defeated Devin Buckner (2-3-0) by judges unanimous decision after the two fought a 20 minute war. Suzuki has now positioned himself as a top Welterweight. Despite the loss, Buckner put up a heck of a fight and will be looking to rebound in the near future.

Osuka Kasumia (3-1-0) beat Takumi Fujiwara (2-2-0) in what was a fantastic Middlewight fight. Halfway through the second round Kasumia was able to lock in a arm triangle for the win in another tough fought match. Kasumia is now one of the best Middleweight's in KINGS and a title fight could be on the horizon.

Bantamewight Edgar Humperdink (3-1-0) bounced back nicely from a recent loss 6/22 to defeat KINGS newcomer Kenta Yoshida (0-1-0) using a nicely executed rear naked choke at 6:04 in the 1st. Humperdink will have his sights set on the KINGS Bantamweight Champion Ryobun Akagi.

Mika Huima (3-1-0) beat Hanamichi Ono (2-3-0) in a Heavyweight showdown. At 5:03 of the first round it was Humia who locked in a tight armbar and Ono was unable to escape giving Huima his third pro victory.

Lightweight's Glen Burnett (1-2-1) and Jushin Kusanagi (3-4-1) went the 20 minute distance in their fight. It was an exciting back and fourth battle and very close to call. In the end, Judge Yuuki Gou scored the fight for Kusanagi, Judge Yukihiro Shimada scored the fight for Burnett and Judge Taro Takaoka scored the fight as a draw.

Go Okami (2-1-0) returned to KINGS after a loss in his debut with a TKO win over Minamoto Yoritomo (3-3-0). This one lasted just 44 second as Okami broke out of the gate and overwhelmed Yoritomo landing a flurry of strikes and forcing the referee to the stop the match.

Reginald Walker (2-0-0) was successful in his KINGS debut as he defeated Kazu Saku (1-3-0) via TKO in just 18 seconds. Walker rushed out at the openig of the match and finished off Saku in no time flat. Walker is looking like a possible contender in the Middleweight division.

KING OF KINGS will return next Saturday July 11th for the "7th ADVANCE" when Ronnie Carlton (5-1-0) will face Logan Strauss (3-0-0) for the (vacant) Light Heavyweight Championship.
