Just watched the Fuji TV-K-1 broadcast. That was a debacle completely worthy of K-1’s nationalistic record. They were just dead set on getting Musashi to Seoul, and when that failed, they turned to Fujimoto and got their wish. Horrah. Fortunately he stands no chance of getting anywhere near a bs judges decision in the World GP Final. Hopefully he’ll be out before they even get to Tokyo Dome.

Hell of a show though. Choi looked very solid again. If he’s picking up ground work as well as he’s picked up stand-up, he can cause some trouble in MMA.

Nice KO’s, heat, great crowd, arena looked good on TV, and controversy = cash. Fun, fun, fun!

Ivan, Dalby Shirley really is in a class of suckitude all by himself just by virtue of his lengthy and outstanding history.

Jordan— You are forgetting about Dr. James Jen Kin, a California-based ref who is actually less assertive than Cole. But the two of them seem to be in a class of their own, much like Abe Belardo, Dalby Shirley, and Glenn Trowbridge with MMA judging.

Laurence Cole is maybe the worst ref going right now. Between the Marquez-Jaca fight and that debacle last night, he needs to have his license pulled. If Lacierva won after that debacle, I’d have died.

Also, Israel Vazquez vs. Rafael Marquez was a strong Fight of the Year candidate on Saturday night. The referee (Laurence Cole) completetely lost control of the first fight on the Showtime broadcast, but the main event was a classic.

i’m glad morales has retired. his only 30 but the guy aged so fast due to the wars he had. The 1st barerra fight was a classic. the 5th round being one of the all time great rounds. unlike barerra who modified his style to prolong his career morales kept fighting the same way and that takes it toll. Thanks 4 the memories eric.

next 6 months looks real good 4 boxing!!!
