I'd make Ioka the favorite. He's more experienced and more skilled but Tanaka is tenacious and has refused to allow himself to lose. To me, at least, it's not an easy choice. I'm cutting my chances to win down to probably much less than one in three but I'm going with a draw.

I may end up regretting this but I'm changing my pick. I'm going with Tanaka.
