"The next Masato"

[( o Y o )]

Does anyone remember that guy that was being hyped "ASH-RA"?

He was on the undercard of MAX again....and lost again.

The one we gave the Mr.Potato head make over, right? lol, no surprise there...

[shunsuke]

ROFLMAO, yeah he lost again.

I would love 2 see that to, because I dont remember it as well

ASH-tRAy was a joke. An insult to the real Masato.

Indeed.

This Hiroya kid, however... just may be the next Masato.

^ evidentally Masato was very impressed with the guy and talked to FEG about using him.

[Kobayashi]

I don't suppose his fight was aired?

[( o Y o )]

I haven't seen it yet so I don't know.

I only saw Ash ra once vs Yuya givin yuya is good man i saw nothing to say Ash Ra be even capable of winning a j max tourny

[WOLVES AT THE DOOR]

Yuya on the other hand has all the tools to become a great contender in the j-max scene. He needs to get his boxing together but I really like what he brings to the table............

Ash-Ra fought 3 fights in K-1 MAX. He lost all of them: with Akeomi Nitta(reserve fight at Japan MAX 2005; KO, 2R), with Yuya Yamamoto(K-1 World MAX 2005; decision) and with Kozo Mitsuyama(opening fight at Japan MAX 2007; decision)
