New Japan runs Day 2 of the G1 CLIMAX 32 Tournament today, featuring the second match for each of the 4 blocks and some big openers are on tap. Most notably is a heated-to-be affair between Zack Sabre Jr. & KENTA, while the main event will be Shingo Takagi vs. Juice Robinson. The other tournament matches today are Tomohiro Ishii vs. Taichi and Jonah vs. Toru Yano.
Today’s event will be held at Hokkaido Prefectural Sports Center Hokkai Kita Yell in Hokkaido and can be watched LIVE and on demand on New Japan World in Japanese and English, and like Day 1 you can watch FOR FREE! No login or signup required! If you plan to pull an all-nighter to watch, I anticipate the event having a total run time of around 3 hours, but it will be no more than 4 hours.
