It's Showtime 55

 Ghita vs Gerges just starting



Hari vs Saki up next!!!!!



Who's watching?

 already happened like 7 hours ago...

 Oh crap! Must be a replay. Damn must avoid results.......

 yeah don't scroll down; ive got a thread title that gives it away.  great fights though!

 Nice catch mate ^^^^ I'm gonna stay off the UG till I've watched it.

 should be about done?  what'd you think?

 Great mate. The Ghita KO of Gerges was BRUTAL!!!!!



Hari vs Saki was good too but I'm a huge Saki fan so not the best result for me but good showing by Hari.

I have a feeling he won't set the world alight in boxing and may be back to kickboxing soon.



On a side note it's a shame that Saki isn't naturally bigger as he looked tiny in there.

gif thread



yeah, i was rooting for saki too.  hope badr hari does well in boxing, lord knows the odds arent on his side, but it would be cool to see HW boxing get a booster shot.

 I just think most of the talented guys at SHW like



Hari 6'6" and 232

Reem 6'5" and 260

Ghita 6'5" and 240



then Saki at 5'11" and 213 is just too small.



Technically he's as good as any of the top guys but he just doesn't have the genetics unfortunately.

He'd do better at HW but there aren't the huge matchups for his there.

Daniel Ghita gots the goods! Fuck I love watching that dude fight. Great kicker with real power in his hands.

yeah i think that was really the biggest problem with K1; you have behemoths like schilt and those you've mentioned and guys like saki, spong and even zimmerman who are just plain outsized. 



hoping the new weightclasses in K1 can help to fix it.

 Yeah fingers crossed. What are the new weightclass limits?

 Bloody hell! I just checked the website for "It's Showtime" and their HW class is everyone 95kgs (209lbs) and up!!!!



K-1 was 101kgs+ (222lbs+) and I thought that was a bit rough!

 -from the k1 website-



Featherweight Under 60.00kg



Lightweight Under 65.00kg



Middleweight Under 70.00kg



Light Heavyweight Under 85.00kg



Heavyweight Under 100.00kg



Super Heavyweight Over 101.00kg

Oh right I thought from your post they had changed them again!

I still find 101+ to be very large weightclass!

Anyway let's hope kickboxing stays alive in the face of recent adversity.

We can only hope, it's super entertaining.

On a side note did anyone see the Manhoef/Spong fight? How was it? How did Manhoef look? And Spong? Phone Post

yeah i dont know if these are updated or not; there was a rumor that the new chinese investors were trying to open up the smaller weightclasses.



no doubt, war K1!!!

 

Completely agree, saki is as skilled as anyone and im a huge fan, but it was scarry even in the pre fight staredown how tiny saki looked. He looked a little worried looking up to badr.

No idea how he pulled off that win being dwarfed by ghita. That was a hell of a fight.

But hes way to small for hw.
