turntabler posted:Most people here probably know already but K-1 has a pretty considerable fight library on youtube, and Glory has some stuff up there as well. The absolute best part of Buakaw's 2004 GP run was the judges scoring Masato/Buakaw a draw so it would go to an extra round where Masato could maybe make something happen, so Buakaw proceeds to whip Masato even worse and then bend him over through the ropes directly in front of the judges and glare down at them like he was daring them to do it again

Dr. Miracle posted:I'm a total kickboxing noob, why would a Thai-style kickboxer struggle in K1? Is it a rules thing? The scoring is different, the clinching is much more limited, there's no elbows, and the judges are racists

Triticum Guzzler posted:bouzidi kinda sucks. i mean pat is no world beater himself but it's a winnable fight. I like how kickboxing has come from "Anybody can win at any time" because the eight best guys in the world are fighting each other in some permutation on every single show to "Anybody can win at any time" because what the gently caress, we have no idea

coconono posted:Bringing in Tyson gets them some press, good or bad. Not a dumb idea. Other than the whole oh god Tyson is talking for an extended period of time thing. If you listen to Tyson talk about boxing, he's actually incredibly knowledgeable about both technique and the history of the sport and can analyze what's happening in bouts he's watching with an incredible degree of accuracy. Cus used to make him spend nearly all the spare time he had when he wasn't working out watching old tapes and explaining to him what he saw and didn't see the fighters doing. I'm not sure how much this will extend to kickboxing, but Tyson as a fight commentator is likely to do a vastly better job than most people would expect.

Tyson did a lot of lovely things in his life but he also is completely and totally forthcoming both about all the lovely things he did and how lovely they were. It's hard not to feel at least a little sympathetic to someone who appears to be trying as best he can to live a better life, long after the point where most people would care.

Seltzer posted:I was gonna try to go to the Glory show in February when I saw it was in Virginia. I assumed the town they listed would be in the greater DC area but it's in the rear end end south east of the state near Virginia Beach. That turns the trip from not so bad into gently caress it. Why is Glory running in weird markets like southern VA and Oklahoma and not sticking to LA, Chicago, NY, Denver and other big markets like they were doing before? Because venues in big markets cost actual money

Captain Log posted:Is Tyson too over the hill to get in shape and have some low level "punch only no wrestle" type freakshow fights? I'd love to see that. Physically it's certainly possible. Mentally, there is no way. He's said many times that his last fights were purely to pay off his debts, he hates the idea of fighting again and hasn't trained seriously in nearly ten years. In addition to that he spent the last decade on loads of drugs (and not the kind that make you better at fighting) and although it's easy to forget because he comes across as pretty together now in his public appearances, he's still actively in rehab (and has relapsed many times) and therapy. Honestly the guy is very fragile (and as someone who grew up in the 80's it feels insanely weird to say that about Iron Mike) and a ring is the absolute last place he needs to be right now. Frankly just being around the kind of people that run Glory makes me a little nervous for the guy.

Setcurenko is throwing a lot of leg kicks with his guard up but it looks like zero power behind them. I'm not sure if he's too hurt to open up or just trying to conserve energy.

Bubba Smith posted:i was kidding. Well, sort of. Glory has done a good job of presenting kickboxing as a sport rather than something that should come on after Cops or Tattoo Whores or video game awards or whatever junky TV they air on Spike all the time. Viacom probably wouldn't mess with Glory too much but I wouldn't be surprised if they pushed it a little more towards pro wrestling & reality TV, like they did with Bellator.

ESPN3 isn't a channel at all and streams from ESPN's website. I THINK it's available in any country where ESPN is, but I don't actually know. http://espn.go.com/watchespn/ Try it now, I guess?

kimbo305 posted:It works well enough defensively and doesn't take away your kicking base and range as much as some kinds of head movement would. Also, you're still in position to check a leg kick when you're doing it, which isn't the case with most types of defensively responsible head movement.
