K-1 World GP 2009 (Commentary)
Dang man this K-1 came out BLAZING! The production value, & "The Voice" Mike Schiavello & Ray Sefo ringside adding an Olympiad atmosphere to the whole GP. Everybody's pumped up as shit starts kickin off!
Gokhan Saki vs Peter Aerts
Man Aerts came to this fight IN SHAPE! Dude's 38 years old and is shredded up. Ray Sefo makes the comment he wants to know Aerts' diet.
1st Round: I scored 10-10. A bunch of low kicks and body kicks thrown by Aerts, and Saki but no damage at all. Aerts looks like the stronger fighter but Saki puts together combos really well and is clearly faster.
2nd Round: Aerts starts to chip away at Saki. Picking Saki apart with low kicks, and body kicks. Peter even threw in a Ryu spinning back-fist that missed, but allegedly broke the sound barrier. Saki's best weapon is his left hook, but it's not enough as Aerts drops Saki with 10 seconds left in the round. "The Voice" and Sefo call the fight as over, but Saki get's up at the 9.5sec count and is saved by the bell!
10-8 fo peter Aerts that round.
3rd Round: is a carbon copy of the second without the knockdown, and Saki manages to throw a Ryu back fist of his own that knock down Aerts without even landing. Aerts slipped because he was off balance when dodging (refutes reports of damage due to supersonic activity).
10-9 fo Aerts that round.
Ruslan Karaev vs Badr Hari
Dang man Hari's gettin swole too! What the shit him and Aerts eatin? Meanwhile Karaev is crip-walkin his way to the ring with some techno music playin in the background.
1st Round: These dudes come out swingin. Hari gets the better of the exchanges and drops Karaev! Deeeeeeaaaaang! Karaev gets up though and get's back to action, and they get back to swingin! Same results, but they call the fight this time. Hari KO at 38 seconds of the first round.
Cecil Peoples scores the fight 10-9 Karaev. Karaev allegedly landed a low kick.
Alistair Overeem vs Ewerton Teixeira
Ewerton rollin out to sweet ass lounge music with sweet ass dreads! Really feelin this dude's style. OHHHH WTF!?!?! Overeem comin out to some jank ass black-eyed peas "Tonight's gonna be a good night". Shit Alistair you goin' to the K-1 GP, not no damn disco. Get yo' head in the game.
1st Round: Overeem and Teixeira feel each other out and lock up real quick when Overeem goes for the clinch. After the first lock up Overeem clinches and LANDS A HUGE KNEE knocking Ewerton OUT COLD. One of the most rutal KO's I've seen in K-1 history! The official time is 1:06 of the first round.
Semmy Schilt vs Jerome LeBanner
1st Round: LeBanner comes out swingin, and working his jab. Semmy Schilt lookes like Semmy until he gets hit with a big left straight from Jerome. Semmy returns with his patented Frenkenstein poker face and lands a body kick that drops LeBanner. LeBanner catches his wind and returns back to working the jab and lands another stiff left, but Schilt follows with a front kick that hits Jerome in the same place as the first kick, and drops LeBanner again 2:17 into the first round. Semmy Schilt moves on to the Semifinals!
Remy Bonjasky vs Errol Zimmerman
Dang Errol rollin' out like it's Halloween in his skeleton csotume, that he actually pulls it off. I mean those bad kids from Cobra Kai in Karate Kid didn't even pull off the skeleton costume this tough. Zimmerman kinda look like Tracy McGrady, and Barry Bonds.
1st Round: Errol and Remy feel each other out for a short time, and then Remy starts landin some HEAVY low kicks to the thigh. Zimmerman is fightin wild with flyin knees, and not really bein effective. Bonjasky lands a nuclear right and drops Zimmerman in the last minute of the round, and drops Errol, but Errol makes it to the end of the round.
10-8 fo Remy that round.
2nd Round: Both fighters come on exchanging kicks, but Zimmerman is the more active and throws more flurries throughout the round. Zimmerman threw mo punches this round, and seemed to have hurt Bonjasky towards the end.
10-9 Zimmerman.
3rd Round: Both fighters look a little worn, but moreso Bonjasky, but that doesn't stop him from answering all Zimmerman's attacks. No one really inflicts damage this round. Lefts and rights exchanged with low kicks mixed in, but pretty dang even!
10-10 fo this third round
I scored it 29-28 fo Bonjasky, and the judges feel very similar. Bonjasky moves on to face Semmy Schilt!
