Intro:
We kick off tonight's PPV with a bout being streamed from Japan. The world famous Toyko Dome has hosted a lot of major events. Well tonight it sees a battle of personalities, with Asuka Kuramochi representing her manager Hamada's stoic focused eats against the chaos that is the "Fired Idol" Maki Itoh.

Maki has defeated two Front Street Japan fighters since her debut in January, which has added to fellow former wrestlers Hamada's disdain for her. Hamada is hoping that Asuka will be her ace in the hole to stop the rise of Maki, since she lost Mikie Hara to the Revolution stable last year. With Asuka only losing to Vanessa White, she is on a three bout winning run since with a win here over the undefeated Maki likely to put herself back into the public eye.

The build up saw both women give a few words to interviewers. Asuka telling journalists in her interview "Maki is a failed idol while I am the real deal. That goes for inside that ring too, Maki plays tough in a wrestling company, I have proven to be legit." Showing her confidence that she can take Itoh.

Who of course is her colourful self as she is interviewed going into her dressing room wearing a red dress with a white skirt and heels. Telling the interviewer "these f**kers thing they can stop the Itoh train? F**k that sh*t! Asuka will be flat out as Hamada gets to listen to me sing in victory." Heading into her locker room with a cheeky smirk.

Fighting time. Out first comes Asuka with coach/manager Hamada. She is wearing a long red satin robe as she heads down the aisle to the ring looking serious as her fans cheer her on. Into the ring steps Asuka as she twirls around in her robe. Getting it taken off by Hamada in her corner. Revealing that she is wearing a red sports bra with a black "FSJ" badge on the left bra cup, red trunks with black stripes down the sides, matching shoes, black gloves and her hair tied into ponytail.

The sound of Maki singing has Hamada looking like she wants to plug her ears with concrete. Maki dancing on the stage as she has her winning smile, her fans singing along as she cups her ears with her free hand as she goes to each side of the stage.

She is soon into the ring finishing her song. Handing the microphone off to the referee as she walks to her corner to hug her coach. Getting on her red gloves put on. She is wearing a half red and half gold coloured sports bra and shoes, a black skirt covers a gold thong, hair tied into pigtails. She taps her gloves together as she bounces on her toes.

The fighters come to the middle of the ring for final instructions from the referee. The fighters stare down as Asuka has hands on her hips. Maki tells her "f**king bring it on." To loud cheers. They quickly touch gloves and job back over to their corners. Once everything is set the bell rings to 10 rounds of flyweight action.

Round 1:
Out they come with a Maki chant annoying Hamada out the ring. Maki stabbing in several clean hits around the jugs of Asuka. Who looks like she means business as she fires her jab firmly back into the face of Maki. Both women planting their feet to exchange as clearly they want to prove themselves the best right out the gate.

Asuka misses with a right hook that had some steam behind it, instead she takes a straight into her belly and a left hook around her ear. Maki grinning devilishly as Asuka backs off from her, landing a double jab into the face of the smaller woman as she holds the center of the ring.

Keeping Asuka on the back foot. Maki is showing an improvement on her shot selection as she isn't simply throwing big shots now. Asuka is catching her with several good single punches back into her face but Maki is looking solid. To the dismay of Hamada as the bell rings to end the round. It's Itoh on top of the opener as Hamada sternly tells Asuka not to embarrass her or herself tonight.

Round 2:
Maki looking confident as she dances on her toes side to side, sticking her tongue out at her opponent at one point when they are not exchanging jabs to show how little respect she has for the model. That of course changes when her showboating earns her a left hook to the jaw, Maki's head getting twisted around before Asuka follows with a jab square into her chest to knock her back a step.

Soon Maki finds herself on the ropes as Asuka pounds at her body. We all know in wrestling that Maki has a hard head, question is how tough is her body, Asuka looks like she wants to know that answer as Maki grunts with each hit and tries to match the intensity of her foe. Clinching with Kuramochi, Itoh tells the referee "I think I bit my tongue" in Japanese. Getting a few laughs as Hamada shakes her head.

They are split up with Maki boxing more defensively with her jab finding a home through the mitts of her opponent. Asuka maybe a little too aggressive for her own good, not landing as cleanly as she had done as Maki sees out the round looking in better stead then she did being bullied to the ropes. Sitting on their stools with hard looks being exchanged between them.

Round 3:
Tapping her cheeks with her gloves, Maki looks more fired up as they resume. Several flurries are exchanged between the two gorgeous Asian fighters. Maki leans out the way of a right hook coming her way, landing a jab back into the face of her opponent before landing a right hook to her cheek to turn her head.

Maki now muscles back Asuka to the ropes, digging in a few punches around the jugs of Asuka to punish her for pushing her around the last round. Asuka grabs onto Maki and tries to wrestle her around to the ropes. Both women grinding foreheads as they stare angrily into each others eyes. Referee steps in to break them apart.

Asuka catches Maki a little off guard as the referee tells them to fight again. A straight slamming into Maki's belly button before an overhand left smacks her on the jaw. Maki now finding herself forced backwards as Asuka comes back at her with a vengeance. Both clinching again as this time Maki grabs onto Kuramochi. The bell rings with the referee breaking them up and a few choice words being exchanged between the fighters.

Round 4:
Maki comes out full of vigour as she stabs in a double jab to the chest of Asuka, who slams in a few right hooks over the top to warn Maki not to keep trying that. Both are drilling punches through the others guard as they box around the middle of the ring. Opening up as they want to hurt each other as this has a true grudge feel to it, a far cry from the joking around Maki did to start proceedings.

Missing with a left cross, Asuka gets clipped to her chin with a counter right. Maki stepping in with a short left hook that turns the head of her opponent. Hamada gripping the ringside apron as she grits her teeth, watching her fighter be bullied back into a neutral corner. Where Maki swings in wild hooks, some land to make Asuka groan before she can grab onto Maki in a tight clinch. The referee steps in to split them up with Maki keen to keep the pressure on Asuka as she is held back by the referee.

They resume with under forty seconds to go. Maki landing a jab but getting caught with a right hook as she loads up her own. Asuka showing her toughness to get inside the reach of Maki after the thumping she took. Landing a few punches that look a little borderline on the waistband of Maki's skirt. The referee letting them go as they nearly bump heads. The round comes to an end with the ref stepping in to pry them apart. Asuka gets a telling off by Hamada, with Asuka gritting her mouthpiece as she stares hatefully at Maki.

Round 5:
Maki is looking to continue to be the aggressor but is met with Asuka's firm jab into her lips. Forcing a jabbing exchange between them as they circle around the center of the ring. Maki fires in an uppercut that doesn't land as Asuka side steps it, instead a right lands on Itoh's belly button to make her gasp.

Asuka now turning the heat up on Maki as she pounds her body, driving her to a neutral corner as now Maki is looking to try to soak up the pressure on her arms and gloves. Needing to clinch up as Asuka again is going just above the waistband, nothing illegal about them unless she goes lower. They are broken apart with Maki looking to get out the corner.

But Asuka is looking for blood it seems, pounding in a straight when they resume to the face of Maki, who for the first real time is looking a little worried. Getting beaten back to the ropes as Asuka has found another gear. Targeting the body of Maki when she pins her back to the ropes. The round comes to a close with Asuka hissing "f**k you" to Maki, who looks pissed off but the referee smartly holds them apart before they go swinging at each other.

Round 6:
Pushing off their stools, they engage with straight punches being exchanged. Maki wanting to get back on the front foot but misses with a jab as Asuka dips under it. A RIGHT HOOK LANDS SQUARE INTO THE LIVER OF MAKI! DOWN SHE GOES ONTO ALL FOURS WITH A CRY OF PAIN!

Asuka walks to the neutral corner as she grins. 1....2....3....4... Maki spits out her gumshield as she rolls to her back. 5....6... Kicking the canvas as she hisses "f**k.. through pained lips. 7....8... Hamada is grinning as 9....10 as Maki is counted out! Asuka wins!

Winner Asuka Kuramochi KO Round 6

After:
That's the undefeated streak of Maki Itoh ends tonight. Asuka walks over to her and puts her right foot onto the face of Maki, grinding it in as she hisses in her native tongue "you are a clown" as she smirks at the beaten woman. Maki crying out as she has her gloves on her stomach and kicks the canvas.

Returning to her corner after the referee begs her to leave Maki. Asuka walks back to her corner to be met with a hug from Hamada, a very rare show of emotion from Hamada to her fighters. Showing how much seeing Maki be beaten means to the manager and former pro wrestler.

Maki is helped by her coach with an ice pack to her stomach. She sits up with tears in her eyes, cheeks flushed red as her head is down. Maki has her gloves taken off and she scowls over at Asuka, hissing "f**king bytch" as she clenches her taped fists.

Helped up and out the ring as her coach doesn't want her to go back at Asuka. Maki is sulking but sooner or later her undefeated run had to end. Funnily enough she showed improvement tonight but found an opponent who was simply too good on the night.

In the ring Asuka gets her left hand raised in victory by the referee in the center of the ring. She grins as she stares into the camera. She looks like she has taken the title of Ace in the Front Street Japan stable. Maybe someday her and former Ace Mikie Hara will meet in a battle of generations from the stables history.

For now she leaves the ring with Hamada to her right, Asuka strutting her stuff as this was an important win for her on a personal note and moves her closer to a potential title shot in future herself.
