K1 Final 8 - March 15th, Zagreb - Cro Cop wins

By far the worst Final 8 that I can think of. But, I will watch.

 

Sure hope it's a good one. But it's still 6 darn weeks away.

Go the Aussie :good

 

Well the Aussie is gonna have a hard time.
First fight vs the slick, experienced, skilled and hadr to catch Samedov.
However Ben should be able to win this one without too much damage.

Then however vs Gerges. Gerges kicks hard and at a crazy pace.
Big Ben doesn't like that.

Cro vs Miller will be interesting.
Zurvalev is really good and should win vs Moro.

 

True. But if Ben lays his right hand on Hesdy Gerges he won't like that either. Let's get past Zabit Samedov first. One hurdle at a time.

An advantage Ben does have in tournaments where you need to win multiple fights in one night is he can finish quickly and therefore conserve some energy along the way.

 

It seems Ben is out :-(

 

Injury?

 

The governor better not be out

 

The most recent article I could find still has Ben in >>>

Where did you hear that?

 

I'll say!

 

It's a rumor, just as Miller being out was also one.

The last one confirmed his participation on facebook in the meantime.

Ben is also scheduled to fight Slowinski on March 23, maybe that makes things complicated for him. I really hope he fights in K-1, he's always entertaining.

 

So as far as we know Ben Edwards is still going to compete in the K1 Final 8 then?

 

Well he would have mentioned it on his facebook IF he would be sure he could be there. I'm sure he wants to, but he probably has issues with his contract ( Slowinski ).

 

What a pain in the arse that they postponed the K1 and caused the clash for Ben. It was originally meant to take place in December from memory atsch

 

Ignashov vs Poturak superfight added + Hari in to replace Edwards.
