As expected, this was a very fast-paced match. It slowed a bit after the initial rush, but it never really slowed down a lot. This was pretty even throughout, and though the finish involved some shenanigans, this was still highly entertaining. It was definitely a good way to start 2019 for 205 Live.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nKayla Braxton asks Drew Gulak if he considers himself the underdog in his match tonight.

Gulak punished Tozawa with many holds and submissions, and Tozawa fought back with his speed and resilience. This was a very good fight that seemed to get more serious and competitive as it went along. I would have been fine with either man winning, though not caring who won didn&#8217;t detract form the match.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nCedric Alexander says that he doesn&#8217;t scare easily, and he&#8217;s not scared of Hideo Itami.
