Battle being dubbed a "loser" retires fight.... interesting.

Le Banner continues to get the better of the exchanges, backing Musashi into the corner. Musashi lands a decent counter punch, but his only real counter of the fight.

Internet connectivity problems... for roughly three fights. I'll have to put videos up for those later...
Glaube Feitosa vs. Errol Zimmerman
Round 1: Errol comes out early with a barrage of combinations and a flying knee, but Feitosa counters by backing Errol into the ropes and throwing some solid kciks of his own. Errol comes back, but gets countered. Errol lands a HUGE right hand in the corner, Feitosa is dazed... and Errol is being very aggressive trying to finish. Feitosa is taking it, but I think it may have been enough to win Errol the round. BloodyElbow.com scores it 10-9 Errol Zimmerman.
Round 2: Big back and forth action here.. Feitosa is giving Errol a steady diet of leg kicks, but Errol is countering with some punches. Tough to call right now. Errol's looking for the overhand.

Errol Zimmerman defeats Glaube Feitosa via unanimous decision.
Remy Bonjasky vs. Melvin Manhoef
Round 1: Here we go! I'm rooting for Manhoef, but this doesn't bode well for him with Bonjasky's range. HERE WE GO! Feeling out period... Remy looks composed, Manhoef moving around. Manhoef is waiting... Remy comes in... and Manhoef almost made this a MMA fight. Referee stands them back up. Manhoef power bombs Bonjasky to the mat again... WOW. This might bode well for Manhoef. Remy looks a bit startled. Referee stands them back up. Manhoef punches Remy, HE'S HURT! Wow.... Remy gets blasted again! Manhoef has him rocked. Remy gains composure, but Remy still looks rather strange in his striking now. Manhoef is countering instead of being aggressive, and it's paying off. BloodyElbow.com scores it 10-9 Melvin Manhoef, but I'm biased. Probably a 10-10 round.
Round 2: Feeling each other out again... Manhoef keeping his hands up, Kogan says he's emulating Remy, and I'd sort of have to agree. Remy goes for the knees, almot lands it... now a furious scramble. Manhoef throwing bombs, but not landing. Manhoef gets backed into the corner, but then wraps a clinch and takes down Remy. Very odd strategy here. Manhoef gets a reset. LOL! Manhoef goes for a spinning back fist... this seems like a MMA fight to me.
Both men exchanging, but this is a draw round so far. Manhoef is throwing Bonjasky down to the floor in every clinch. Definitely a strategy to disrepect Bonjasky. BloodyElbow.com scores it 10-10 draw.
Round 3: Manhoef is remaining rather defensive. Brief exchange, but no real lands. Remy is working the kicks now, but nothing major. Melvin is backing Remy into the corner... but Remy clinches him to avoid the big blow. Remy is working a steady diet of leg kicks on Manhoef, and it is obvious that Remy is turning it on to win the round. Manhoef takes a knee, but now the fight is becoming a brawl. Remy is bringing it on, and Manhoef clinches and throws Bonjasky down. Remy is now working the combinations effectively with punches and head kicks. Knees are landing... and Melvin lands a spinning heel kick. Wow... never seen that from Manhoef. BloodyElbow.com scores it 10-9 Remy Bonjasky.
Remy Bonjasky defeats Melvin Manhoef via unanimous decision.
Catalin Morosanu vs. Kin Taiei
Round 1: Big time staredown here... here we go. Catalin backs Kin into ropes early, throws barrage, blocked by Kin. Catalin moves in again, throwing big hooks, landing a few heavy kicks and body shots. Kin isn't countering yet. Catalin is stalking, throwing power punches. Kin answers with a huge body kick, but he's now being peppered with shots from Catalin. Kin begins to move forward. Backing up once again, Kin eats some leg kicks. Kin lands some hard leg kicks, setting up for head kicks. Kin's kicks are putting visible damage on Catalin. Catalin answers with some big kicks, Catalin thinks the bell rang, and Kin punches him defenseless with 10 seconds left. Catalin counters, and the bell rings.... CATALIN PUNCHES KIN OUT after the bell rings. Kin is hurt.
Catalin Morosanu was disqualified for late punch on Kin Taiei
Chi Bin Lim vs. Tahir Menxhiqi
Round 1: Started a bit abruptly, but we're live. Started at about 1:30 into the round.... Sounds like Tahir is winning this one, kicks for a knockdown. Now he's being warned... Tahir will some knees to the midsection.. round ends. BloodyElbow scores it.. no idea.
Round 2: Tahir goes for the knees to the head early, glances a couple of shots. Referee separates the fighters. Tahir has the obvious edge with his length while Lim tries to counter, but it isn't working. Lim holds Tahir's leg and puts him down. Fight stood back up. Back to action, heads clash and the fight is stopped for a second. Tahir gets a yellow card for clinching too much. Tahir is obviously the aggressor trying to land head kicks with body kicks mixed while Lim is trying to counter. Lim throws a few heavy leg kicks while Tahir tries to land knees. BloodyElbow.com scores it a draw round.
Round 3: Tahir lands a leg kick, but is countered by a combination from Lim. Lim continues to punch with heavy hands while Tahir points with kicks. Lim lands a flush flurry. Both men are clinching, referee separates. Lim continues more punching, but he isn't landing with incredible accuracy. Lim lands a stiff right, but Tahir blocks the left. Tahir slips, but no knockdown. Tahir backs Lim into the corner, another separation. Lim leg kicks and hurts Tahir.... both men clinch following it and are separated. Lim scoring two combinations at the end. BloodyElbow.com scores it 10-9 Lim.
Chi Bin Lim defeats Tahir Menxhiqi via unanimous decision.

Melvin Manhoef is my hero...
Manhoef will fight Remy Bonjasky on Saturday in the K-1 World Grand Prix Final 16 in Seoul, and in an interview with K-1 broadcaster Michael Schiavello, Manhoef explains that while he knows he needs to have an effective game plan in order to beat a great opponent like Bonjasky, he also knows that when it comes time to fight, his nature is to disregard his game plan and turn it into a brawl.
“I’m going to keep on my game plan — try to keep on my game plan,” Manhoef said. “But if he’s going to hit me hard or something, I’m going to go ballistic again and then it’s f**k that. F**k the game plan and we’re going to fight. … We have to fight. We are fighters. We are gladiators. We have to come into the ring and fight.”

For what it’s worth I hope he knocks the shit out of Remy just because I don’t like how cocky Remy was beating Alistair who is virtually a rookie in kickboxing compared to him.
Overeem was ‘winning’ it of sorts – he kept showing off by sweeping Remy’s legs from under him & tossing him about. However, that doesn’t mean anything in a kickboxing match, so Bojansky won. Had it been MMA or a smarter Alistair, AO would have won.

Remy Bonjasky vs Melvin Manhoef
This is the third encounter between these two fighters, with both former fights going Bonjasky’s way. Remy’s second win over Manhoef in April 2008 kicked off an excellent year and a half for Remy as he won 7 in a row and the 2008 World Grand Prix championships. Manhoef is (as usual) giving up a good amount of size to Bonjasky and it will be interesting to see if he’s figured out a way to make up for that literal shortcoming. Third time’s a charm?
If Musashi doesn’t retire after tonight, Melvin could be the final stop on his Death Tour.

Great fight so far from Manhoef
Hasn’t allowed Bonjasky to settle in to his rhythm, and hasn’t rushed in like a madman.
"Yeah we came up short today but I'm cool with things." -- Juan Pablo Montoya
So glad manhoof didn’t retire, 10-9 Melvin if you don’t count the slips for Remy as per usual k1 scoring.
I would love to put the athletes who retire and un-retire and put them in a tournament of death, where the losers are…“retired”…bwahaha

Presumably they gave R2 to Remy, which is questionable but hardly fraud.

They would have given both the first two rounds 10-10, and the last round to Remy.

Honestly....
K-1 is a bit tough to judge if you don’t watch it a lot.
I could definitely see how Round 1 could be scored 10-10. So, Remy would win 30-29.

Win or Lose
Melvin impressed me more than Remy, I don’t care how it was scored. I don’t follow K-1 much, but you’ve gotta be dumb not to know Melvin is the balls to the wall, go for broke, laying to waste or being laid to waste type of fighter. He fought a damn good fight.

It’s the takedowns. They look impressive, disrupt the opponent, and count without question under many scoring regimes—but not really in K-1.

Errol Zimmerman vs Glaube Feitosa
Last year’s Final 16 in Seoul featured this exact same match, and saw Errol Zimmerman take the win via unanimous decision. This year could see a different outcome as Zimmerman has dropped his last three fights while Feitosa has won the single match he has fought since.
Who’s previews are those?

Glaube Feitosa (17-16-1, 11 KO’s) vs. Errol Zimmerman (66-10-1-1, 32 KO’s): This match-up doesn’t bode well for the Brazilian Feitosa as Errol already has a win against him on top of taking on some of the who’s who in the sport. Feitosa has been able to beat mid-level fighters, but he’s ran into more losses in taking on better competition. Feitosa has a vast array of kicks, but he’ll need to be more worried about the counter to those kicks here as Errol throws a mean right hand. Errol should move on to the final.

Keijiro Maeda vs Ruslan Karaev
Maeda is the current K-1 Heavyweight champ and the great Japanese hope for this year’s World Grand Prix. He’s been working his way up the totem pole diligently, and while a tough veteran like Peter Aerts or hot property like Badr Hari would most likely take him out, his opponent Ruslan Karaev is good enough to give him a challenge but probably not good enough to beat him.
Why does Kyotaro remind me of an asian Seth Petruzelli?

Karaev’s rhythm is nice. Good steady movement.
"Yeah we came up short today but I'm cool with things." -- Juan Pablo Montoya
Not really, she is allowed to compete in mens and womens sports and chose womens sports because it was easier and won, therefore the criticism is warranted.
From what I've read....
Her testes were INSIDE her body. She has no ovaries but she still has female genitalia.
In other words...
Inside plumbing = male
Outside = Female
She never knew about the inside until now….
Was that the conclusion
Last I heard she wasn’t aware of the exact nature of her physiology until now. When kids are born sorta jumbled up down below, the easier option is to clean them up female like and not necessarily tell them much about it.
(Or so I learned from Law and Order SVU or something like that.)

Ewerton Teixeira vs Singh Jaideep
Teixeira is a Kyokushin karate fighter who’s been making some waves in K-1 over the past two years. He’s a solid but unremarkable striker who’s last several fights have gone to decision. Jaideep is an Indian fighter that earned his spot in the Final 16 by winning the Seoul Grand Prix in August. Even though Jaideep has more fights, Teixeira has faced the tougher competition and it’s not hard to see a decision going his way.

Semmy Schilt vs Daniel Ghita
It wasn’t so long ago that Semmy Schilt seemed nearly unstoppable … he won the K-1 Grand Prix three years in a row. But last year he lost his Final 16 match to Peter Aerts and just recently got crushed by Badr Hari a few months ago. Still, Schilt is enough of a force that not many are giving Daniel Ghita a chance despite his impressive 5 fight win streak.
These Schilt training clips are gold
