  1. Currently watching it:

    Mighty Mo was upset by Slowinski after he got leg kicked to hell and had to give up in the second.

    Choi is the slowest boxer/kickboxer alive. Lebanner battered the hell out of him and won the decision pretty easily…

    More later

  2. Jordan Breen says:

    Michael Schiavello is terrible on commentary. Like many guys working in fightsport, his enthuasism is palpable, but he’s too over-the-top and pretty wholly unbearable.

    Hari got hosed. He definitely should’ve gotten at least one of the first two rounds against Bonjasky. That said, the shape he was in, he wasn’t gonna go much further.

  3. Jordan Breen says:

    Fantastic performance against Sawayashiki by Aerts. Too bad Schiavello had to ruin it with corny ass yelling.

    “MORE KICK THAN A CAN CAN DANCER! OPEN THE FRIDGE, HE\’S OUT COLD.\”

    Seriously.

  4. ttt says:

    Schilt was looking really good and JLB did exactly what he needed to do

    Badr Hari should have had an extra round, but it looked like he was having trouble standing up, even if he did make it through, Peter Aerts would have made him regret it

  5. Zach Arnold says:

    “There’s a low kick with less bite behind it than Lara Flynn Boyle”

    “more strikes than a bowling alley”

  6. Jordan Breen says:

    Should be looking at another Schilt-Aerts final. Woop woop for the land of wooden clogs.

  7. ttt says:

    too bad, JLB was getting it done in the first round against Schilt

  8. Caleb Newby says:

    Well, I’m late to the party. Hope I didn’t miss any barn burners.

    More about Michael Schiavello at http://www.myspace.com/foxkickboxing:

    Renowned for his catch-cry “THE BIG KABOSH”… “The Voice” Michael Schiavello is regarded as the best ring sports commentator in the world.

    Since 1996, Michael has thrilled audiences with his ultra-exciting and informative commentary of ring sports events worldwide including: K-1, Muay Thai, Boxing, Kickboxing, Mixed Martial Arts, Wrestling, Full Contact Karate, Taekwondo and more.

    Michael has commentated for commercial television, live pay-per-view and cable TV the world over. His commentary has even featured on the JAY LENO SHOW!

    Michael is the world’s premier K-1 commentator, calling the shots in Japan, Korea, Hawaii, Macau, Las Vegas, New Zealand and beyond. He has also called events from Paris, Amsterdam, Switzerland and Macau (China).

    Living in Melbourne, Australia, he is host and commentator of the K-1 series on TVNZ, he has and continues to top New Zealand’s national television ratings!

    Such is his following in New Zealand alone that Michael appeared on the front cover of FIGHT TIMES magazine in a six-page interview entitled: The Man Behind The Voice of Kickboxing Down Under.

  10. ttt says:

    “scored on more than my ex”

  11. Akebono is possibly worse at commentating than he is at MMA.

    “This fight is too technical for me to comment”

  12. To be honest, most of them are bad. Hoost is even saying some questionable things, like how Aerts drew the first round with Bonjarsky. BLASPHEMY! Aerts was putting it to Bonjarsky hard.

  13. How about the Schiavello “He took more shots than an alcoholic” call during the Aerts fight with Sawayashiki

  14. Jordan Breen says:

    I enjoyed the crew, especially Sefo, bagging on Schilt’s offensive game in the past. It’d almost make you forget that Sefo got KO’d by Schilt’s jab.

  15. Ahh, that was Sefo saying that. Yeah, I couldn’t make out who had made the comment.

  16. ttt says:

    Leland
    wasn’t it Ray who called it a draw? i didn’t hear what Hoost said tho
    it’s too bad he wasn’t in the ring instead

  17. It would be nice if they talked or something during the intermissions. Even commercials would be better than this annoying an repetitive music.

  18. It must have been Sefo calling it a draw then, yeah. I was surprised as hell, and then he just blamed his comments on his bad judgement on the Hari-Bonjarsky fight. In reality, Hari did get hosed. If anything, I felt it should have went to a draw.

  19. Wow, very unfortunate. Looked like he ate the jab, put weight on his knee, and it blew.

  20. The outcome has been damn predictable. K-1 is in dire need of some new blood for their super heavyweight division.
