Why K1 GP is a Joke

August 12th, 2008 · 14 Comments

Why do they do this? Why do they think this is going to be good for the sport? Thanks to Gusnark for taking the time to hunt these clips down for us.

What I find amazing is that Domagoj is supposed to be 41-6?. I know Badr is a P-I-M-P but come on…That dude was just knocked out by a jab?

matt-

If that was lohm muay, someone needs to explain to him that your not supposed to go down in the first 10 seconds.

At the second watch I though they’re going both down. That would be fun.
I watched this whole event (Hawaii GP 2008). Man, what a lousy fighters, wtf? Except Gokhan Saki, who dispatched all his opponents and won GP. But imagine that, Randy Kim was in the final, lol.
He was reserved fighter and then replaced Mighty Mo. And now imagine that, K-1 was able to find two fighters even Kim can beat.
K-1 is pretty much a freak show.
I find interesting K-1 MAX and looking forward to 60kg divison.

Hari took a harder knock than Domagoj. Yeah Gusnark I cant wait for the 60kg division too!! maybe we’ll get to see some thai fighters like Singdum, Saenchai and Anuwat!

I gotta add in here also. Umm…

What the eff?

That was hilarious. He must have just caught him right on the button. The last replay shows how jacked Badr got too. I had to have the ropes hold him up. What a weird exchange…

“He” had to have the ropes that is… man, I feel dizzy. Maybe as I watched that some laptop gnome cold-cocked me as well….

Can I just join the chorus and say… WTF?

That was literally a puff jab. No weight behind it. I can’t even imagine the fighters who DIDN’T get in.

That was just simply ridiculous. It almost looks like a joke at first.

Also if you want to see the rest of the fights you can go to MMATKO.com. Their a mma sight but usually carry alot of the K1 stuff as well and have all the fight videos.

I saw that clip yesterday, but didn’t notice that Hari was rocked. I just thought he had lost his footing and stumbled. Definitely would be in trouble against a more hard-headed opponent.

@Gio, didn’t look like a “puff” punch to me. Badr got the hips and shoulders around before throwing. Still, dude did get KOed by a jab.

that was legit. K1 has BEEN a fucking joke for a while.

Strange and Hari almost went Down. I also thought he just slipped and just got back up, but on the Replay I laughed my ass off cause it was so Weird!
