Review: 2011-12-09, the final of the KRUSH Youth GP 2011 (under 22 tournament) between Masaaki Noiri and Koya Urabe (red gloves) ended with one of the best ko’s of the year (flying knee at the end of the first round). Masaaki Noiri, ranked as the No.16 super lightweight in the world, entered the fight with a record of 9-2-0 while Koya Urabe had a record of 16-2-0. In the semifinals Noiri defeated Hiroya by unanimous decision while Urabe won Yukimitsu Takahashi (but both fights were not very exciting). Watch the video!
