TAPE 843
Quality: EX (Master Convert)
Length: 2 hrs (DVD)
RINGS MEGA BATTLE '98 BLOCK B - 11/20/98 (More of the retarded team format that again limits
the quality of the show, unfortunately. Still, this is better than block A, with some
really good action. I've got a VHS master convert, so VQ is EX.)
Yasuhito Namekawa vs Lee Hasdell (20-min draw that isn't terrible, isn't great)
Bitsadze Tariel vs Daniel Higgins (Tariel wins in 22-sec - by submission!)
Bitsadze Tariel vs Troy Ittensohn (This time 42 seconds - by KO)
Bitsadze Tariel vs Christopher Haseman
Bitsadze Ameran vs Christopher Haseman
Hiromitsu Kanehara vs Dave Von De Veen (For this fight, they allow striking on the ground,
which really helps keep things moving.)
Masayuki Naruse vs Vladimir Klementiev
Masayuki Naruse vs Andrei Kopylev
Kiyoshi Tamura vs Andrei Kopylev (Would love to see this as a stand-alone fight instead of
compressed 2-point format they used here. Kopylev gets screwed with a point loss on a
knockdown that wasn't and ends up losing)
Kiyoshi Tamura vs Nikolai Zouev
TSUYOSHI KOHSAKA VS NIKOLAI ZOUEV (Here the 2-point format almost helps as it puts quite
a bit of drama into the match. Great match with excellent work from both guys.)
