This fight was on TV in every bar in Japan! Did anyone else see it? I was en route to the Scottish bar in Hiroo, so I missed the Pride tournament, but I managed to catch most of the K1 action.
Sapp was looking a little more lean than usual, while Akebono seemed to be panting from the effort of climbing into the ring. It`s hard to find a fighter that makes Sapp look good, but the K1 promoters did a good job with Akebono. Akebono seemed unable to do much more than clinch and throw some ineffective knees. Sapp landed too many unanswered punches to Akebono`s head, and after a couple of knock-downs the ref stopped the fight.
Tyson would have eaten Sapp alive.
Happy New year
