MMA-TV's fail for this..

Is ticking me off. Everything else is so far behind, I’m watching Kraus beat Takeda into retirement at least.

Takeda/Kraus is a visceral beating

Like if you want to see violence against one guy watch this, the ref was giving him the benefit of the doubt on some leg kick downs or just falling from exhaustion, but the mercy call was needed.

That was sad. I’m glad he survived that.

I wouldn’t be too upset. It’s somewhat a hassle to get feeds from Japan.

Round 2 of Kido/Sato was nuts and the Hiroya fight was kind of funny.

LOW BLOW!

I laughed pretty hard.

Yowza. Predictable but impressive.

Petrosyan is a MONSTER

I’ve been telling people this for so long, and the Yamamoto fight is crazy. Yuya was a defeated man after that first knockdown.

Yuya has a good chin too, Petrosyan has some power.

by omigawda on Oct 26, 2009 9:18 AM EDT up reply actions

That overhand left made me wince

As it did Yuya’s grandma.

I’m not even overly impressed with Petrosyan’s power as much as his intelligence. The guy has wicked counter ability.

Souwer’s got quite the takedown defense.

by omigawda on Oct 26, 2009 9:24 AM EDT reply actions

Oh Nagashima fight was pathetic and the Watanabe fight was like all his fights.

by omigawda on Oct 26, 2009 9:26 AM EDT reply actions

Are these two rounds or did TBS edit out a round of clinching?

by omigawda on Oct 26, 2009 9:31 AM EDT reply actions

Wow Petrosyan’s gonna destroy Souwer.

by omigawda on Oct 26, 2009 9:37 AM EDT reply actions

Wow Petrosyan’s destroying Souwer.

by omigawda on Oct 26, 2009 9:45 AM EDT reply actions

Petrosyan, K-1 MAX Champ

So I’m wondering if Masato keeps to his word or takes the fight he WANTS, Souwer.

I expect Petrosyan will be “injured”.

Does anybody know the result to the Zambidis fight?

I can’t find it and got distracted by that ‘work’ thing.

It hasn’t aired on TBS yet if it’s going to.

Oh no, that was it.

by omigawda on Oct 26, 2009 9:52 AM EDT up reply actions

That was an ok event I guess, can’t believe they bumped Kyshenko.

by omigawda on Oct 26, 2009 10:00 AM EDT reply actions

This is why I love HDNet

They’ll show the whole thing on HDNet, which’ll be great.

I’m going to hold off watching it until that broadcast, I think. I have spent too many years watching Korean versions without Round 2 on any fight unless there was a KO.

Zambidis/Hinata

K-1 has their official results up now and have HINATA as the winner by unanimous decision.

by Fraser Coffeen on Oct 26, 2009 11:44 AM EDT reply actions

Yeah that was my bad

I trolled some Japanese forums and found the result, just forgot to switch them around.

Wow

Good win for Hinata, he impressed me in his fight with Jabba, I thought he would be steamrolled but he was doing very well up to the count. Now he beats Zambo, impressive. Guess I should not underestimate him anymore.
