This is Mutoh's third annual best bout award in ten years (2011 and 1999), and Shiozaki's first best bout award.
The comments of each wrestler at the time of the award, are as follows;
Keiji Mutoh
"Thanks to East Sports Puroresu Awards 2021, I was able to win "Best Bout". I think this is all thanks to my opponent, Go Shiozaki, and to everyone on the Noah staff who supported me. Even I, who has a little physical weakness, can win the award, makes me once again feel that pro wrestling is an art form. Actually, I was also aiming for MVP, but that has fallen away somewhat, and so I will do my best to aim for MVP next year."
Go Shiozaki
"Thank you Tokyo Sports for the Puroresu Best Bout Award. It was a match that I fought with pride and confidence in green. I lost the match, but I am very happy to win the award. I will continue to devote myself to this, so please support me. At Pro Wrestling Noah's New Year's Day Nippon Budokan event, the GHC Heavyweight belt must be wrapped around my waist. Please provide some support. I AM NOAH!"
