Sean Wright Vs Kozo Takeda

June 1st, 2008 · 10 Comments

There were some pretty good fights this past week and weekend. I’m going to hold off reporting for a day or so… so I can scrounge up some footage. The big bout last week went down at Big Hearts 8 in Tokyo Japan.

Muay Thai & K-1 vet Kozo Takeda against Contender Asia Semi-finalist Sean Wright. I’m still searching for footage of the fight… It should have been a leg kick throw down as it’s the favored technique of both these fighters.
I haven’t been able to find any commentary on the fight, but it appears that it went the distance. Big up to Baggy of the K-1 Forums for providing these quality pics.

Clearly all we have to focus on are these pics, but I’ve got to say Sean is looking ripped! I think he’s seriously picked up his training… Being on the Contender Asia has given these guys such a huge career boost. Sean went from relative obscurity to headlining a main event in a little under a year.

Every time I turn around it seems like one of the “Contenders” is fighting, good for them… get it while it’s hot.

and your winner is…

    Nice abs sean thats at least 400-600 sit ups a day and the willpower to walk past 7/11 without munching on cream custard cakes and tim tams….(or is it just me that does that?)….good effort.

    He really looks tough.
    I thought Takeda would KO him.
    Glad to see Sean improving, fight was probably very even.
    Winner: Takeda by 2-0 decision

    And lotsa running and a very solid diet. Let’s also give props to Kozo who looks equally as lean as Sean “Kamehameha” Wright

    Ha ha my right thigh still hurts! Back in training though just not taking to many low kicks yet! I would love another crack at Kozo at some point. I feel I didn’t really perform at my best and would love to get back over to Japan too. S
