Man, I wish I was there! Some really interesting fights!!

http://www.so-net.ne.jp/feg/k-1gp/dtop.htm

Among them:

Jerome Le Banner vs. Francois Botha

One of K-1's best vs boxing's former best. 1st round starts off with Le Banner giving Botha a run for his money with leg and body kicks. Botha fought smarter in the 2nd and studied Le Banner carefully. He stayed out of the way from Le Banner's legs and closed effectively, rocking the K-1 fighter with his bombs! At one time or another Le Banner connected with a solid leg kick, but Botha showed perserverance and good defense by staying inside and taking the fight to Le Banner. He worked Le Banner with hard jabs and strong counters and eventually sent Le Banner to one knee

Botha win by TKO!!!!

Koaklai Kaennorsing vs. Alexey Ignashov

WOW!!! Talk about size difference. Tale of the tape

Kaennorsing: 5'11" 172 lbs - former Rajadamnern super welterweight champ

Ignashov: 6'5" 239 lbs - ISKA/WMC heavyweight champion.

Kaennorsing chased the big guy around the ring with the hit & run strategy. When Ignashov loaded up, Kaennorsing was allready out of the way and ready to counter. The little guy is fast, rather powerful and showed considerable killer instinct against a much larger and powerful fighter.

Kaennorsing W by decision.
