Customer Reviews of Pride FC - Beasts From the East

as good as pride 10
after reading some of the other reviews on the video i was shocked by the ignorance of the reviewers. aLTOUGH THIS is not the most exciting event that i've seen i can't think of a single boring fight. yes some of the fights were mismatches; but they were still exciting. THAT SAid i view the last four fights as being worth the price of the whole event. The mezger vs. arona fight was definately good and the victory was given to the wrong fighter. the frye vs. yvel was likewise exciting with yvel trying to knock frye's head off his shoulders and frye constantly trying to bring him down. The last fight: coleman vs. nog is probably the best fight on the dvd,altough relatively one sided it did foreshadow the years to come.

Average show, could be better ...
Here's the short breakdown:
Yatsu vs. Goodridge: match could have gone longer but Yatsu was no match.
Silva vs. Yamamoto: match is a dud. Yamamoto was done before being KO'd
Rua vs. Matsui: one of the better yet more brutal match in the card, Matsui did all he could but still lost at the end.
Arona vs. Mezger: best match in the card, both men gave it all.
Schilt vs. Shoji: Goliath (Schilt) slayed David (Shoji), that's all I can say.
Frye vs. Yvel: Good match, could be better if Yvel stopped acted like a whiner and breaking the rules and Frye was healthy the whole time.
Coleman vs. Nogueira: tough match and Nogueira was better than Coleman on that day.
Overall, it's a good show and the opening scene was very emotional (held shortly after 9/11), but the flaw was that the first two match were too short.
