Jess Taitano on Sherdog News!

In the semi-main event, Shooto newcomer Jesse Taitano took Shooto world 123-pound champion Shinichi “BJ” Kojima to another disappointing majority draw in their two-round non-title bout. Despite Taitano’s barrages on the feet in the first round, Kojima used the Guamanian’s forward momentum to take him to the canvas. While there, though, Kojima could not capitalize on his grappling expertise, as he was busy defending oncoming punches from the bottom.

In the second period, Taitano appeared to slow down while eating low kicks from the champ. With Taitano taking single shots at Kojima, the champ was able to easily defend, stuffing Taitano up against the ropes to neutralize him. Referee and judge Suzuki awarded the bout to Taitano 20-19, while the remaining two judges ruled it 19-19 for the majority draw.”
