I’m experiencing some technical difficulties… I’m still trying to get you the rest of the action from Sweden.

thks nop for the update! cant wait to see Jaabar’s fight against Pique.
Seems like Jaabar’s “legendary” punches did not stop after the TCA.

Obv Pique won after 3 round.. Even after the extra round he still should have won. Also that judge should have gave jaabar a warning for clinching in the lower back all the time.

Just watched this fight… I don’t get this judging. What’s with that?
Askerov is a great fighter, but I don’t see him winning here. Fight was pretty even, they were both good with hands, although nothing really happened there, while Marco was clearly better with his low kicks.
Also Milk,
you’re right about clinching. In Japan, Askerov would probably be warned or even given a point deduction.
To me Pique clearly won this.

I agree with Gusnark on Pique’s low kicks being superior. In fact, it seemed like those leg kicks were hurting Dzahabar.

Would love to see the Final, where Askerov is downed, maybe Lowkicks!?

I feel so sorry for Askerov, he was really disappointed. I believe, the doctor did it in favor of their local fighter.
Well, Marcus Öberg is in the K-1 Max Final 16 and the Contender Muay Thai.

the final was a robbery…

It’s sooo sad to see a good fighter being robbed by the judges because of “outer” interests.
