Everyone seemed to spend about an equal amount of time in the ring, so no one was really being protected. Juice and Taguchi seemed to work better together as a team, but Umino and Yoh weren&#8217;t bad. Umino, as many young lions do, had a lot of energy and even commanded the ring for a short time.

Questions about Ospreay&#8217;s focus in the tournament were brought up, and the action in this match added to that some questions about his physical condition going into his first match tomorrow night.

The commentators really built up this match well right from the start. They spoke about Sho wanting to be the first to pin or submit Shingo, and they spoke about the possibility that Shingo might have a weakness to submissions. That set the match up very well, and it added a lot to the action in the ring.<\/p>\n<p>Shingo and Sho are two Jr. Heavyweight powerhouses, and they went at each other strong right from the opening bell. They each wanted to prove something, Sho maybe more so than Shingo. This match was a battle of power and strikes, though Sho brought out some great submission attacks late in the match. The excitement built and built to a really great finish. This match definitely brought Sho up a few levels while also solidifying Shingo&#8217;s spot as one of the top Jr. Heavyweights in NJPW.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 9<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Best of the Super Jr. 26 A Block Match<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Taiji Ishimori<\/strong> (0-0-0: 0)<strong> vs Dragon Lee<\/strong> (0-0-0: 0) (IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champ)<br \/>\n(referee: Red Shoes Unno)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_69f2cbc463d3e','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_69f2cbc463d3e\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_69f2cbc463d3e\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Taiji Ishimori wins via pinfall after the Bloody Cross<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 18:32<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nGood match. I don&#8217;t think this match could equal the energy of the previous match tonight, but it was a good main event. This was a nice mix of power and technique, and it was a good match for both men.
