It’s Showtime Japan: Giorgio Petrosyan vs. Hinata Fight Video
by Brent Ducharme on Aug 6, 2011 4:14 AM EDT in It’s Showtime Video

Giorgio Petrosyan and Hinata Watanabe met in the headlining bout at
It’s Showtime Japan Countdown 1 on July 16th. The bout saw Petrosyan
engage Hinata in a manner that may come as a pleasant surprise to
those who believe the two-time K-1 MAX champion has fallen into a bit
of a lull in his recent bouts.

Hinata was simply out-struck throughout the course of the bout, unable
to land anything of his own while repeatedly eating shots from
Petrosyan. It is interesting to see the ease with which Petrosyan was
able to land his left cross against Hinata, a fellow southpaw.

As fans well know, Petrosyan was able to secure a wide decision
victory, though he re-injured his left hand in the bout. The injury
has forced him out of the upcoming It’s Showtime Fast and Furious 70
kg. tournament on September 24th, and it seems we won’t see the
Armenian-Italian fighter returning to the ring until at least
November.
