next fight has Hiroaki Suzuki who was the 2014 Shootboxing S-Cup champion. He has some good wins on his record like Mosab Amrani, Zakaria Zouggary, and a load of MMA guys like Lion Takeshi, Wicky Akiyo, Kawajiri's Husband Ishida, and Joachim Hansen. However, he split a pair of fights with the legend himself, Mohan Dragon.

The blonde haired guy in this fight sure likes throwing that spinning back elbow. He ate a ton of hits due to it though, so maybe not the best strategy.

I didn't really see it properly the first time and the ref stoppage seemed a bit premature. Then I saw the replay.


edit: also, someone make a streaming service with all these kickboxing and muay thai shows and I will gladly pay to watch them all. I hate that it is so difficult to watch people try and murder each other with knees and elbows.

outside of Glory on Fightpass, Fite.tv is the only consistent place to watch kicking violence fights. Otherwise you're in for some Truffle Pig Quest poo poo.

No he shamed plenty of Thais. One time he had a gimmick fight where he fought Petboonchu for the first 3 rounds and a fresh Sagetdao for the last two. He won.

Ruslan Karaev, who disappeared in 2009 and wound up implicated in a massive art theft, seems to be coming back https://www.instagram.com/p/Bh53typn0W_/

K-1 finalised their upcoming card for June, I'm copying and pasting these from kakutougi so I'm not going to go to the bother of un-reversing the names:

quote:

Prelim fight 1: Yokoyama Tomoya vs Kubo Kazuma
Prelim fight 2: Kaito vs Watanabe Toshiki
Prelim fight 3: Suzuki Hayato vs Kondo Kaisei
Prelim fight 4: Izawa Namito vs Ito Kento

57.5kg Championship Tournament
Kaito Ozawa vs. Jorge Varela
Yuta Murakoshi vs. Elias Mahmoudi
Ryusei Ashizawa vs. Silviu Vitez
Haruma Saikyo vs. Hirotaka Asahisa

Tournament Reserve Fight
Yuta Otaki vs. Yuki Egawa

SuperFights
Noiri Masaaki vs Vincent Foschiani
Kido Yasuhiro vs Massaro Glunder
Gonnapar vs Rukiya
Yamazaki Hideaki vs. Nakazawa Jun
Kimura Minoru vs. Melsik Baghdasaryan
Koya Urabe vs. Arthur 'BLACK DRAGON' Sorsor
Uehara Makoto vs. Kato Hisaki

Quite a few squash matches, but some good stuff mixed in there:

Kaisei Kondo is the 2017 child fighting tournament champ at 65kg and is looking good.
The tournament is a bit of a wet fart.
Noiri is getting a soft touch opponent probably because there's a Krush event in his home town in August, so it sucks but he'll pull out the murder stops.
Kido vs Glunder is weird as poo poo. I have no interest in Melsik anymore. Hisaki Kato beat Schilling twice but eh..
Urabe is getting a random foreigner to keep him busy but after stomping Wei Rui it's not unexpected.
Yamazaki is an extremely good, polished fighter who won the 65kg Japan tournament a couple of years ago, beating Noiri. He's only fought once in the last couple of years because Gonnapar destroyed his knee, but he got some kind of stem cell therapy and is coming back. He's really slick.

The jewel here is Gonnapar vs Rukiya. Rukiya was part of the gym that just got excommunicated from K-1, but has now formed his own gym. He is insanely, unbelievably sick:

Gonnapar is a really aggressive, low kicking Thai. It's going to be fireworks.

Wow, it was 11 years ago when Karaev knocked down Hari and then earned a top 5 ragdoll KO trying to immediately engage after the count.

Not a lot going on from the big boys at the moment. Glory have a good show in France in two weeks

Heavyweight Co-Headline Bout: Jamal Ben Saddik vs. Jahfarr Wilnis
Super Bantamweight Title Bout: Anissa Meksen (c) vs. Amel Dehby
Light Heavyweight Bout: Zinedine Hameur-Lain vs. Michael Duut
Featherweight Bout: Petchpanomrung Kiatmookao vs. Abdellah Ezbiri

GLORY 53 - SuperFight Series
Welterweight Headline Bout: Cédric Doumbé vs. Eyevan Danenberg
Middleweight No.1 Contender Co-Headline Bout: Yousri Belgaroui vs. Jason Wilnis

Doumbe, Ezbiri, and Jaraya are usually good fun except when Jaraya hits judges. Glory are also heading to the UK in June, then later in June is the next K-1 show.

Plot twist: the gym the guy runs is Power of Dream, which is notable for two reasons. One is that Jaideep Singh (lol) trains there, but more importantly, it's where Kazuo Misaki did his striking training. So Misaki soccer kicking Akiyama's face to pieces and then scolding him for betraying the children finally makes sense.

in the best new year's eve display of all time, Misaki knocked out disgraced cheater Akiyama, lectured him, then stole his catchphrase

quote:

"You betrayed the trust of many fans and children, and it is something that I cannot overlook," Misaki lectured a woozy Akiyama in a strange scene at the center of the ring. "But you fought well tonight and you showed heart. From this point forth, I want to see you put your sincerity and a feeling of apology into fighting for the fans and the children."

it was and continues to be weird, but now i know why he was suddenly invoking The Children: because he trained in a gym full of troubled kids and that year was the year the murder suicide kid arrived
