“Why is Souwer really lucky this year?”
Ups, it seems I misunderstood you.
By “easiest fights” I understood as easiest opponents. Sorry, my bad.

Tnx for the link, Souwer has the funniest outfit here! :)

Gusnark,
“Why is Souwer really lucky this year?” Your question.
“He fought Stevelmans, who is great fighter and by my opinion he should won or fight went to an extra round.” The answer to your own question.

It wasn’t a KO, it was a referee stoppage. Nevertheless I wasn’t aware of that bout until u told me about it and I went to go look for it. Thanx for the info.

Here’s the link to the fight for everyone interested to see it.

He fought Stevelmans, who is great fighter and by my opinion he should won or fight went to an extra round.

Souwer fought against Kraus in MAX 2002 or 2003 and got KOed.

oh…..if we’re allowed to pick 2 fighters then I’m cheerin for Sato and Masato (the latter really deserves it.) I just wish they didn’t have to fight each other in the next round….damn it! Souwer got really lucky this year (and last year) How does he get stuck wit the easiest fights…lol…I’m startin to think he might be “golden boy #2″ or maybe we could call him “Platinum boy”? Also is it me or has he made it to the final every single year since he’s first started competing in the World Max?? He’s really good though, we have to give it to him.

True… But I can’t see kyshenko manage to pose a threat to souwer in any way, looks like we’ll be watching yet another souwer vs masato final (sigh)..

Unless Sato can pull of a miracle twice?

I’ve got to say this: Kyshenko hits extremely hard. Punches, Kicks – it’s all thrown with the worst intentions and the scary thing is his cardio can keep up!

Kido’s leg was smashed by the end of the second round….that’s the reason why he was so inactive. Watch the 3rd round and u’ll see that even Kyshenko realized that Kido left leg was hurt. Big props to both fighters. I was also cheering for Kido. Also is it me or did Kyshenko look twice the size of kido….I wonder if the weight ins are the same day or a day or 2 prior cuz there’s no way those two weighted the same.

Where is Kido from? Has he fought in other K-1 fights? Someone should interview the match maker one day, I’d like to know how they decide who gets to play.

Hmm.. Kido has nice tech but seemed too focused on landing one big shot (the knee maybe…) and spent too much time waiting for it. It’s like he didn’t have the confidence to go toe-to-toe with Artur at all.
