There was an air of excitement when professional wrestling legend Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka entered the ring. Although originally a native of Fiji, Snuka definitly had the island of Hawaii behind him in this fight. His opponent Hirotaka Yokoi was a Judo specialist with a lot of experiance in free-fighting. The fight opened up with Snuka charging across the ring throwing wild punches. Yokoi easily neutralized him and threw him to the mat with a textbook Judo throw. It quickly became clear that Snuka had no "real fight" training and would have to rely on his brawling and athleticism in this fight. It wouldnt be enough as Yokoi battered him with pinpoint punches and effortlessly threw him around the ring like a ragdoll. Snuka showed the heart of a lion and fought back bravely but was clearly overmatched. Snuka managed to survive the 1st round and the local crowd gave him a standing ovation as he staggered back to his corner with his hands up in the "shaka brah" sign. The 2nd round didnt last long...Snuka came out swinging desperately trying to land a homerun but ran facefirst into a right hand from Yokoi. Snuka crashed face-first into the mat and the fight was over. Snuka lay in the ring for nearly 5 minutes before being helped from the ring...Yokoi showed a lot of class by being one of the people helping Snuka back to the dressing room and the crowd gave the legendary Snuka another standing ovation. Yokoi shows a ton of promise and could be a definite force here in ALOHABRAWL. He will have to prove himself against a more skilled opponent but he could very well be championship material.Yokoi KO 4:14 (round 2) punch CRITICAL!!!
(note in the first ALOHABRAWL the fights were 3x3 minute rounds...officials have changed it to 3x5 minute rounds)
