Nitta back to winning ways

On the ‘Back from Hell’ event in Japan on 8th December Japanese superstar Nitta faced Sak Nagaym of England who had just recently fought in Thailand.

Nitta was knocked out in the K-1 Japan max GP by Takashi Ohno and in his fight before that he drew with Ramon Dekker. Nitta needed a win to keep his fans happy. The match was fought without elbows to the head. In the first Nayagam went for an all out attack raining punches and kicks on Nitta. More of the same followed in Round two though Nitta started to counter well with hard low kicks. In the third round Nitta stepped up the pace with solid kicks to the legs and body of Nagayam. Nayagam traded with him but Nitta was too fast. Nitta forced a stoppage with a combination of low kicks and punches.

Also on the show ISKA World Champion Susumi Daiguji faced Shinobu Hanato of Mongolia. Daiguji had early success rocking Hanato with a series of punches, but Hanato composed himself and came back strong in the second round hurting Daiguji with an elbow strike, then putting him down with a right cross. In an explosive third round both fighters went for the kill with Hanato finally knocking Daiguji cleanout with a head kick. In the other main event of the evening All Japan heavyweight champion Yasuhiro Amber faced Robust Houseman of South Africa with Houseman getting the pointes decision.
