00:12My hands make a light clicking sound.
00:13I have a winning vibe.
00:15A lot of people are scoring 4 points.
00:20Sonada is layer-creeping

00:51This week, the long-running champions secured their fourth win in two matches.
00:59is
00:59187cm, 120kg, Bass, Volcin, Orange!
01:58Thank you for watching.
02:17It is a champion versus champion on this night.
02:22The NJPW strong, openweight title holder awaits the NJPW World Television Champion.
02:28And Chris, if you look at this match on paper, you look at the experience,
02:32all the advantages that Konosuke and Sikeshda would have in the world
02:35over a fighter like Bolton Oleg.
02:37It might shock you to remember that Bolton Oleg is the one that has the win-l
02:42OSS ADV
02:43over to Sikeshda on this fight.
02:45Two-in-one record goes the favor of Bolton.
02:48Sikeshda is destined to even things up if he has it his way.
02:51Yeah, well, that's exactly the same situation, Sikeshda walks in to Chicago with the 2-
02:57in-1 equity.
02:58The Odeciji, Sikeshda extended that deficit to start this tournament.
03:018.4 G1 Climax previous year's winner and
03:07New Japan World Certified TV Champion
03:10G-Alpha, Konosuke, Takeshda!
03:32It's been a bit of a trend recently in preview tag team matches for Konosuke's S
03:37Ikeshda is in this tournament.
03:38For things to spill violence, go to the outside.
03:41First with Uto Isen, we saw that work in Sikeshda's favor in league action.
03:46And now, Bolton Oleg a few nights ago.
03:50I think a different vibe to it, though, with Bolton.
03:54And afterwards, I think there was a mutual respect, taps on the chest.
04:00Okay, let's go to it. Here we go.
04:02And we're already into the run of it.
04:03It's going to be a sprint of a fight.
04:05You're going to see a lot of hard hits, a lot of strike gain.
04:08On the line, Froleg and Takeshda.
04:10Yeah, you're right. I mean, I think that would play more in Takeshda's wheelhouse.
04:14I think Bolton might have the advantage if this goes to the mat
04:20because of his amateur credentials.
04:22Well, you cannot undersell Takeshda's amateur credentials as well.
04:27Hell of a fighter back in university.
04:29But Takeshda, oh, that fighting spirit never dies.
04:32And you're talking about the defending G1 Climax winner.
04:35There's a lot of weight.
04:36We're going fast here.
04:38A lot of weight on the shoulders of Takeshda.
04:40And he's going to fly.
04:41Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho.
04:42With it all tonight.
04:45I think Konosuke Takeshda is wrestling a World TV Championship pace here, Walker.
04:49I think he wants to get this done inside of 15 here in Ota.
04:56Come on, guys, baby.
05:00I had the honor a couple of weeks ago to head over to the dojo and see,
05:06I was invited to see Bolton roll with Josh Barnett over in the Nogue Dojo.
05:12And the advice Barnett gave was to Bolton, keep calm and use your strength,
05:18use your size, get everybody down onto the mat.
05:21That's going to wear them out.
05:23And then once they're worn out, look out.
05:26Once someone's worn out, Walker, whether you're the TV champion
05:29or whether you're anyone, you're not going to go anywhere
05:32after that verdict, after that kamikaze.
05:34I think that's a great point that you're making there, Chris.
05:36But I think Takeshda would have a couple of answers to that.
05:39Some great resilience on Takeshda, some great conditioning.
05:41And you could very much argue Takeshda having better long-form conditioning
05:46over Bolton Oleg in a wrestling sense.
05:48You're right.
05:48I mean, of course, Bolton, much like we make the same comment with Aaron Wolfe,
05:52very conditioned to short matches, but several of them over the course of a day
05:58very much trained for explosivity.
06:03And right now, Takeshda having the leverage advantage over the big man from Kazakhstan.
06:09Takeshda's got a hell of a reach on him.
06:12And that reach is really coming to his advantage here tonight.
06:22Very, very few men can outpower Bolton Oleg, though.
06:26And Takeshda seems to be one of them.
06:29And Oleg's going to want to avoid this position.
06:30You've got to remember what happened to Utah Ice just a few nights ago.
06:34As well, while Bolton was amateur wrestling in college, Takeshda was weightlifting
06:41for the bodybuilding club over in university.
06:44Now the upper body, but too much momentum.
06:48That's great application, that South Pole.
06:51Very, very simple.
06:59It's almost like an alligator with its jaws held shut by an elastic band.
07:06You know what I mean?
07:07It's a very similar principle, the difficulty you have when your arms are pinned behind your
07:13back, but Bolton able to get free there.
07:17That did a lot of wear, a lot of tear on the left and the right of Oleg.
07:21As Oleg, that base is still intact, that dropkick hitting like nobody's business.
07:27Yeah, that shotgun dropkick is so, so effective, Oleg.
07:30So I don't think anybody really expects it from him, even if they've seen it before.
07:33Nobody expects Bolton to have that kind of vertical, but he does.
07:39It's a cash shot popped up here by Oleg on the shoulder.
07:43Oh, brother.
07:44Toss right in the center of the ring.
07:46Yeah!
07:49Shoot!
07:50Shoot!
07:52Shoot!
08:00It was Bolton Oleg who wrote his name into the history books over the back of
08:05Konolski and Takeshi to the last time they went on one back at Dominion in 2025.
08:09Oleg becoming the new never open weight champion.
08:12First time in his career.
08:14And I'm not sure many people could have anticipated Oleg ever dethroning the alpha.
08:19But take your eye on this.
08:21Yeah.
08:22A G1 win and a term championship win.
08:25And who can they get two G1 wins?
08:34And the Bolton shake is rallying Ibarra Wave Arena Ulta.
08:40So Lee Bolton has made a whole new connection, level of connection with these fans during this
08:45Tournament.
08:46Oh no!
08:48Put the block in on the Bolton bomb, did Konolski and Takeshi.
08:51It's been a sensational main event he had in Sendai a few days ago, and that very reson
08:59ating
09:00comment he made to the crowd when I first got into this after amateur wrestling.
09:03I thought this was a job, but I've come to fall in love with this business of professional
09:08wrestling
09:09And everybody is loving Bolton back.
09:28That's another one.
09:37And out to another amateur legend in June, Akiyama, my God.
09:40Yeah.
09:42And Takeshi wants it, feels it, whoa, a thunder bomb, and it's two.
09:54Takeshi, fearing those pins and needles,
09:56that might be the only reason why he didn't get enough body and body off the blue thunder bomb.
10:05Still a lot of offensive options for Konosuke Takeshi, I think you can still say the same
10:11for Bolton.
10:14Here's one of them.
10:16Takeshi would love this exploder suplex right now, but Bolton just too heavy,
10:21Just too big.
10:37Wait, wait a minute.
10:38Catch her with the exploder suplex.
10:41The Alpha, Konosuke Takeshi, feeling the riot tonight, Nolta.
10:45Off the road.
10:46Oh, man.
10:55Threw him to Aprientes.
10:57I think it's in case you would need a stiff drink on that one.
11:01Watch this, use the ropes.
11:06Man, meeting right in the middle.
11:18He's gonna hold that all important center.
11:25Oh, Bolton, Oleg, my God.
11:33It was a car crash for a two count there.
11:36Bolton made such headway against Shingo by holding his center, by making his opponent
11:41Come to him.
11:42I think that's the best way for Bolton to keep going in this one.
11:46One good way to hold this center is to drill Skechner right through the middle of the canvas.
11:54All right, it's a back body dropout, and-
12:03Look out, Walker.
12:05Yeah, we can see it, no, got it, got it, got it.
12:20One, two, three, two.
12:28It took the verdict and a whole lot more for Bolton Oleg to put down Takeshi with
12:32an Ever
12:33title at Dominion one year ago.
12:35Bolton Oleg's gotta go back to that place to call himself a G1 winner again.
12:40You see what I mean, though?
12:41He brought, he held his center, and made Take come to him with the knee.
12:45Kamakaze no.
12:46No, no, no, Takeshi's got to go back to that place to call himself a G1 winner
12:59Fuck!
13:01Fuck!
13:02No!
13:03Fuck it!
13:05It's a test stop driving through Oleg here.
13:10No!
13:11Trying to see the numbers.
13:15Guacamama!
13:17Wagomama!!
13:19Cowster!
13:212 balls!
13:23Ofokamamai!
13:37Well,oh,you think he's trying to set up the Asian fight.
13:42He isn't deadweight.
13:44But maybe he's gonna try and choke him out.
13:45I mean we saw it choke out, we saw a submission at the end of Utah Ice and Konos
13:50uke Tekesha
13:51Oh, Boltin trying to get leverage backwards
13:58Tekesha trying to pop his hips and hoist Bolton
14:01Boltin trying to get his head free, he might be going out, he might be going out
14:08I think Tekesha, I think Tekesha's readjusted, it's the front chancer
14:11y, this front face lock
14:12Asami,Asami was the same referee who counted Ice out the other night
14:16Still in it though is Bolton
14:20Okay, Boltin
14:21Okay, Boltin
14:27Raw, undulterated power from both of these fighters
14:34Standing there, Boltin, there you go
14:37Stay in that center logo and now
14:42Kamikaze
14:46Short range is in and out
14:49Yoh
14:49Oh
14:50Go
14:51Go
14:51Go
14:51Go
14:51Go
14:54Go
14:54Go
14:54Go
15:02Go
15:03Go
15:04Go
15:38She chose
15:52This video is a video of a covert.
15:53Wow at this!
15:54funny!
15:56We!!!
15:58My favorite part of the head
16:00It was a cover bar.
16:10Dead Man's Handle in the tights, and now Takeshi's the Dead Man, he's
16:14Let go.
16:18Don't leave your sense at that.
16:21Boltz has just ran into a hard one from the elbow all over again.
16:26And Takeshi now gonna hit the ropes.
16:30Rocks are heavy.
16:33Boltz and Rocks last Takeshi with a shot.
16:39Oh!
16:42And a murder elbow from Kanosuke Takeshi.
16:46Oh! Oh, was it?
16:50No, Mario Sami says no, not three.
16:53I mean, it had to be five millimeters most that Boltz got his shoulders off the canvas walk
16:59er.
17:01It is as close as you can get without getting there,
17:04But Takeshi's ready to go.
17:06One more selfish demand.
17:08No!
17:12Oh!
17:14Oh!
17:15Look at this!
17:16Ted that style.
17:17A Boston ground block gonna shift him up again.
17:20Here we go.
17:21Here we go.Boltz and Oleg on the run of it.
17:23He's got the distance, but now Takeshi holds on to the bottom rope, to the top.
17:29Boltz and pulled Takagi off the top rope, couldn't pull Takeshi away.
17:34Wake him over to the back of the head.
17:35He's got it.
17:36He's got it.
17:40Oleg on the edge.
17:42Okay, okay.
17:44Okay.
17:45Okay.
17:49Okay!
17:49Okay!
17:55Today!
17:56MamaDee!
18:00You've got to be kidding me.
18:03You've got to be joking!
18:06And that's it, surely now.
18:09Lagalava for Bolton, 99.
18:12Here we go!
18:13Raging fire!
18:175,2,3
