Zack Sabre defeats Toru Yano: G1 Climax Night 12

Result: Zack Sabre defeats Toru Yano

Match:

• Yano begins by saying they’ll do a fair fight. He gets rid of a lot of tape tucked into his pants and knee pads.
• Using a roll of tape, Yano put Sabre’s arm through the barricade and taped Sabre’s wrist to a chair on the other side of the barricade. Sabre pulled the chair through the barricade and just barely beat the ref’s 20 count.
• Sabre used the figure four heel hook to get the submission victory.
