2011 K-1 Minus 63 Japan Tournament participants Tetsuya Yamato and Yuta Kubo have both fought recently in smaller Kick promotions in Japan.
2010 K-1 Minus 63 Japan Tournament champion Yamato’s return fight last Saturday at NJKF was a successful one. He snatched 3 knockdowns from his opponent, “The IQ Kickboxer”, in the second round to earn a TKO victory and get back on the winning track after a loss to Koya Urabe and a draw with “Wicky” Akiyo Nishiura.
2010 K-1 Minus 63 Japan Tournament runner-up Kubo was in the main event of Survivor ~Round.7~ yesterday and got a KO victory at 53 seconds of the third round with a right hook.
Interesting fact is that Yamato faced Kubo’s May 27th opponent, a Thai fighter (I can’t translate his name but he’s a former Lumpini Bantamweight champion and from Saenchai Muay Thai), in 2009 in NJKF and lost a 5 round decision.
