    Glory is a great thing and I'm Boxing 24/7
    I appreciate MMA too but kickboxing is really good. Much more similar to the look and feel of Boxing. And Spong says he's coming to Boxing now anyway. Should be cool.

    This is on Saturday night.

    Petrosyan is facing Andy Ristie. The Surinamese-Dutchman is 42-3-1 (21) and holds victories over Drago and Kraus. He lost to Souwer in the World Max quarterfinal last year, by UD5.

    OK, just watched Souwer vs. Ristie and the kid seems to be quick & explosive...a tall, nimble, fit southpaw...and mixes in body strikes (fist and foot) particularly well...but I don't know if he is much of a threat for Petrosyan at even 80% of the peak form I remember from his last K1 appearances. :think

    More knowledgeable K.B. fans - what do you think?

    Almost forgot about this event. Should be pretty good, but if it conflicts with all of the boxing on Saturday I doubt i'll be to watch it... maybe i'll take a peak every now and then though, good thing it's on spike now :)
