The K1 World Max Final Card, 1st Oct 2008.
Saturday, August 30th, 2008Two former K1 WorldMax Champions may be set for another rematch. K1 Favourite Masato has made it to the Semi Finals after defeating Drago. He’ll be going head to head with Yoshihiro Sato who knocked out Buakaw :(. This could be the fight of the night.
Whoever wins out of the Masato/ Sato match could potentially fight Andy Souwer.
Though Andy Souwer won’t get an easy ride against Ukranian Fighter Artur Kyshenko who managed to dominate Yasuhiro Kido with fast hands and strong low leg kicks. While just only 21, Artur’s youth may not be enough against Souwer’s experience but either way it should be a great fight.
Nopadeth 2 won the third round after trailing in the second, but the final two rounds were the domain of Big Ben who was far too strong in grappling and finished too strong for his slower opponent.
The fourth round was the testing time for Jomthong when he bravely took two hard punches to the head and then evaded a lightning fast elbow strike to set up an impressive title victory.
