I'm rooting for Mighty Mo. For some reason I take pleasure in seeing Korea get beaten.

I pick Sefo, Remy, Semmy, and if he can find that enormous chin again, Mo. Mo needs to win again to prove the first one wasn't a fluke.

Nothing else on the card interests me.

It's just tamayto tomahto in the end. If Korea wins, the nationalists shout "Look at how great Korea is!" and if Korea loses, the nationalists shout "They cheated / some other excuse!"

Either way, the nationaists have their say. Tomayto, tomahto.

Bonjasky VS Stefan"Blitz" Leko is gonna be the fight im looking forward to the most, cant call that one.

Cant see Mighty Mo upseting the big man again either - the're both slow and lacking in any real talent and skill, but when your fists are the size of cannon balls then your always gonna have a good chance.

and I got tickets!!! result!

Is this not tournament style where winning fighters advance to fight later in the same night? I thought that's what was happening tonight?

Is it going to be on TV?

I hope Mo beats Hong man.

Can't they find someone at least near Hong man's size to fight him?
I watched him on TV fighting an assortment of fatties and freaks.

Tonight's winners will go on the championships, which will be held at a later date and will be tournament-style.

Entertaining prelim fight, ranger, taking on a much bigger korean opponent cut the big man down with a succession of leg kicks till the big man couldn't get up. Ranger was quite cocky through out, dancing and shimmying arouind, quite funny to watch.

It's been several hours since it started. Has anyone seen the results yet?

I am also hoping and guessing that Mo will beat him again. CHM may be big and strong, so why does he only have 5 KO's in 14 matches? He doesn't finish people off well.

CHM beat Mo by unanimous decision.

The fight was an embarassment to both fighters. CHM has no stand-up game, it was like watching a slow motion movie.

That's about all I remember.

Surprise Surprise! Choi wins another controversial decision in Seoul.

http://www.k-1.co.jp/k-1gp/top808.htm


** "I feel I was robbed. I should have won," said a disappointed Mo after the fight. "He must have picked up a new technique -- the kick below the belt! I really think that there should be a third fight. There was a lot of favoritism here, next time I want to fight somewhere else."

Informed of Mo's protestation, Choi said, "I don't have any problems with the decision -- I wanted to beat him by KO but beating him by decision is good. I was very nervous yesterday, I kept remembering Mighty Mo from that time, so I only slept for three hours and I was tired. If he wants a rematch, anytime!"


When is this gonna end ? Did anyone go to this ?
