Giorgio Petrosyan might be my favorite fighter, period. Too bad I'll probably never get to watch him compete live again, since K1 is in its death throes and It's Showtime doesn't get televised in the US..
Reem, Buakaw, Petrosyan and Zambidis. There is actually to many but if I had to name four it would those guys, I also like Saki, Hari and some of the oldies like Hoost.
They are trying hard to get a TV deal or they might already have one- you should read this interview- http://liverkick.com/index.php?opti...ve-simon-rutz-interview&catid=34:demo-content ''LK: You know I have to ask any further info on possibly running in the United States? SR: I am getting more and more interest for Its Showtime events in the US. Last week, one of the TV stations from the US bought our Its Showtime events, so that is starting. I also am speaking with several people to see what the possibilities are in the US. But when we start, we will start slowly with events for 2,000 people.'' K1 won't die but it has so many problems that Its Showtime will overtake them as the #1 kickboxing promotion. In my opinion anyway.
Awesome! :good They'll have to rebrand to catch on here, though. That name is damn awkward. :yep "Hey man. Did you catch 'It's Showtime!' last night?"
It does seem a pretty random choice of name, did you know they had an event once called 'It's Showtime-It's Showtime!' My guess would be HDnet if they do have a TV deal but It'd be great if they had a bigger channel.
Le Banner, but also guys like Greco and Bernardo who always threw with bad intentions. Bernardo really threw to take your head off and knocked out so many guys with both his left and right hand. Le Banner always had that aura around him of invincibility. Greco had a very menacing look and had devastating strikes.
