  • Don't get me wrong. I have mad respect for guys like Mr. Neil Adams. I am solely talking about this match,

  • Thanks a lot for uploading this, They are both legends. In my eyes Hikage won in the final, because he was better-balanced. I got a feeling that Mr. Neil Adams was being outgripped. Hikgage on the other hand was never in danger. At 2:41 it was Mr.Adams that avoided keeping fighitng newaza, too. I know new school guys like to count the number of throw attempts however ineffective they may be. I am old school, and I would not see anything strange about Hikage taking this.

  • I was on the 1976 British under 21 judo Squad with Neil, he was great then as a 17 yr old (I believe that was his age) and should have gone to the 1976 Olympics. Neil actually got his 1st Dan at my Dad's Dojo in Harlow, Essex. I moved to the USA in 1979 and it was great following Neil's Judo career. With regards to Brian I have some great memories working the mat with him and going out on the town, great bloke. Great days of old gone bye.

  • Neil Adams, and Vass Morrison were on the same ILEA instructors' course as I was, back in about 1976 at the College of P.E.. They were both great ! Good to see Brian Jacks too - reminds me of the good ol' days !

  • apparently Hikage waited for hours until all the press had gone ... came up to Adams and said he thought Adams had won.

  • Ref/Judge's were watching a different match.... They were either American or Japanese... That's for sure.

  • Adams was robbed! Judging from the fight, he always took the effort of throwing the Japanese Fighter. If I were ask how should this fight could have ended, they should have allowed them to fight for a golden score. This is again one of those Bias opinions made by Judges, Referees, Umpires, and other Sports Officials.

  • Yes.This is World Championship 1983 in Moscow.Adams was silver

  • Yes this was 1983 as was mentioned in the comments. Adams clearly lost! He had a defensive posture and non committal attacks Hekagi dominated the grip...See Judo back then was Ippon Judo those drop seo's without levitation and impact were an automatic wazari and those fake attacks to avoid passivity didn't fly by as much!. Besides he didn't lose to a chump he lost to one of the greatest middle weights Hekagi.
