Shootboxing S-Cup 2010


View full size photo »

I said it would take a massive upset to prevent a Buakaw Por. Pramuk v. Andy Souwer final at the Shootboxing 2010 S-Cup, and as it turns out, that's exactly what happened. MMA fighter Toby Imada, a late replacement for Charles Krazy Horse Bennett, earned a split decision victory over Andy Souwer in the semi-finals to knock the defending champion and world's #2 fighter out of S-Cup competition and claim a spot in the finals. On the other side of the bracket, Buakaw took a unanimous decision win over Henri van Opstal, setting up an unlikely Buakaw v. Imada final.
In the finals, Buakaw used leg kicks to chop down the Bellator fighter, earning a 2nd round TKO and claiming the title of 2010 S-Cup champion. This win has to be satisfying for Buakaw, who left K-1 MAX in frustration earlier this year, and has spent 2010 taking a limited number of smaller fights while questions swirled about his future. With this win, he reclaims his spot as one of the top 2 fighters in the world, and shows that there is still more left in the tank of this legend.
As for Souwer, this is obviously a serious shock for the multiple time MAX and S-Cup champion. A nearly flawless fighter, Souwer is the kind of fighter who just doesn't lose to opponents not at the very top of the game. Outside of the earliest part of his career, he only has one loss to a significantly lower ranked opponent - a 2006 loss to Kenichi Ogata, also at the S-Cup. Imada is almost exclusively an MMA fighter. He's been competing in Bellator as of late, where he is best known for his spectacular flying inverted triangle submission of Jorge Masvidal last year. Outside of that fight, he has no other big wins, and is 26-14 in MMA action. There's no video of the Souwer fight yet, but reports seem to indicate Imada used throws effectively, while closing the distance to limit Souwer's attack.
Quarter-finals saw Souwer defeat Bovy via TKO in the 3rd round in what sounds like a great fight, Imada upset Umeno via KO in 3, Buakaw decision Shishido, and Henri van Opstal earn the decision win.
In non-tournament action, Kengo Shimizu defeated Shunsuke Inoue, Ai Takahashi defeated Karina Hallinan, and the Dream fighters went 1-1, with DJ.taiki KOing Tomohiro Oikawa in 2, and Mitsuhiro Ishida falling victim to a Hiroaki Suzuki KO, also in the 2nd.

Andy souwer loses to bellators submisision pf the year winner Toby Imada who last minute replaces Charles Krazy Horse Bennett. Krazy Horse was unable to participate because of visa problems and was not allowed to leave the country.

Out of nowhere this mma fighter Toby Imada makes it to the finals of the S-cup tournament.

just in case anyone forgot toby Imada....

yeah I heard he had some sort of back injury. add that to the fact that he came off a war with bovy in his first fight.

 

from what I understand souwer struggled with carlos condit as well.

 

takedowns count heavy in shootboxing, if it had been krazy horse instead you can bet it would have been buakaw and souwer 4 for the final!

souwer's back was supposedly injured before the fight with toby imada.

 

here is some info on souwer's injury:

Andy Souwer's first loss in over four years in the Shoot Boxing ring to new-comer Toby Imada may have come with good reason as he revealed post-fight that he carried a possibly severe back injury into Tuesday's S-Cup semi-final bout.

Team Souwer's personal physician is yet to perform a full diagnosis on the three-time S-Cup and two-time K-1 MAX champion but suspects that Souwer suffered a herniated disc in his quarter final KO victory over WMC Welterweight Champion Bovy Sor Audomsorn.

"(I had back pain) in the first round in the first fight. I didn't know what exactly the problem was or what the reason was that I had the pain. I don't want to make excuses but I think it was a big reason why I was not able to fight my own game (against Imada). I'm not saying that I lost because of an injury but I can tell you that I didn't even warm up because of the pain," Souwer revealed in a post fight interview.

Souwer was clearly not himself in his semi-final match with Bellator's Toby Imada. Souwer is a fighter that is typically slow to start but he never really got up to speed in the later rounds and Imada's domination in the clinch was surprising even given the American's grappling roots.

"I feel disappointed of course. Buakaw fought smart and so now he is the champion. I will come back stronger than I was. My first fight wasn't the fight that I had in mind. It's not an excuse with the injuries but it's a fact that can cost you the title, that can cost you the fight. But no excuses any more. I feel disappointed and Buakaw did well. On to the next goal."

fans can only hope:happy:happy:happy

All three of Toby Imada's fights!
