It's Showtime Live Discussion Thread: Badr Hari Vs. Gokhan Saki

Main event opponents Gokhan Saki and Badr Hari square off at yesterday's press conference. Photo via It's Showtime.

Today, the 2012 kickboxing season gets underway with a stacked card from It's Showtime, headlined by the retirement fight of Badr Hari as he faces Gokhan Saki. Join us here at Bloody Elbow this afternoon to discuss the show as it goes down. Here's how to watch:

HDNet - For fans with HDNet, the show airs live today starting at 3:00 p.m. ET / 12:00 p.m. PT. Note that HDNet is only showing the main card today. The prelims (which includes Tyrone Spong vs. Melvin Manhoef) will air on February 3.

Fight Network - Fans in Canada can see the entire card live on Fight Network, starting at 12:00 p.m. ET / 9:00 a.m. PT.

Online - It's Showtime will be streaming the entire card at www.showtimefights.com. Again, this starts at 12:00 p.m. ET / 9:00 a.m. PT. The stream costs 10 Euro, or about $13 US.

As I said above, the big feature bout is the retirement from kickboxing of Badr Hari, which we covered earlier this week. He takes on the tough Gokhan Saki in what is the best Heavyweight fight kickboxing has seen since the 2010 K-1 Grand Prix.

Other highlights of the main card include Hesdy Gerges vs. Daniel Ghita, Murat Direkci vs. Robin van Roosmalen, and Errol Zimmerman vs. Rico Verhoeven. The undercard is also loaded, with Tyrone Spong vs. Melvin Manhoef, and L'houcine Ouzgni vs. Yohan Lidon as the highlights. Check out the full card here.

Hope you will be watching, and joining the conversation here at Bloody Elbow.

such a fantastic card.

sponge on the undercard says it all. i love saki, he’s by far my favorite kickboxer. i think he beats overeem in the grand prix had it not been for the broken arm.

Saki is the best kickoboxer right now

Albeit not his fault, Ubberroid had broken men served to him on a dish in the grand prix

The actual quality of the video is great most of the time.

There are some issues now and then with buffering – some events, you’ll encounter it, while others you won’t. I would expect this event to be fine, given how important it is for the company.

I just payed for the stream and got a code sent in e-mail, so that works so far at least. 10 euros for all this greatness is an offer I couldn’t refuse. Should be a good one!

They're among the lesser divisions in It's Showtime...

Not necessarily in quality, but in available fights and promotional effort.

That said, It’s Showtime really needs to drop the kilogram measurements and assume more regular division names. Taking cues from professional boxing would, in that instance be a great idea – 61 is basically lightweight, 70 being super welterweight, etc.

They also are roughly equivalent to MMA weight divisions.

85 middleweight

Spong was 103.3 kg (about 228 pounds). Manhoef, oddly enough, did not weigh in. Because there’s not a upper limit at HW, it’s not required to weigh in at all, so he didn’t. Weird. Badr didn’t either. Perhaps it’s some strategic move from Mike’s Gym guys?

there’s a sweet Scott Stevens montage set to Pyramid Head (probably the only Radiohead I like). Bonecrushing hits and soft music just fits.

How hilarious and bittersweet

would it be for Hari to get KTFO? It seems like he’s trying to set up a ride-into-the-sunset image of himself, prodigal kickboxer, leaving the sport behind. If he swallows a whooping, it’ll seem more like he took a beating and then moved onto boxing (a strange move given his major strength seems to be knees, clinchwork and highkicks).

A great card. I haven’t seen a lot of those guys fight, but I’m psyched for the two main fights.

His punches were his main tool,

but Harut was throwing knees and low kicks as well. Use whatever terminology you want, but I think it’s more concise not to use the term “boxing” in a kickboxing, Muay Thai, or MMA context.

I had it as a tie. Direcki was winning the 3’rd round, until Roosmalen combo’d on him after they checked Direcki’s cut in the last minute. But I don’t think that was enough to win the round… should’ve been a tie.

I don’t think it was a complete robbery though.

I'm so mad at him for leaving kickboxing.

I don’t hate boxing, but kickboxing is so much better to watch IMO

And as much as I like Badr…he’s not going to be an elite boxer.

Idk, he could be in a few years.

Dude is big and very athletic. Plus, if you saw his hands just now, you wouldn’t be so dubious. It’s just a shame, because Hari also has great kicks & knees, and won’t be able to use them in boxing.

Or he might just decide to use them in the odd match or three.

Maybe but I don't really buy it. I'd like to be wrong but boxing is a different sport.

He’s got pretty shitty defenses when it comes to boxing. That’s my biggest concern.

You never know with saki …But like against remy overeem and other more bigger hw he just comes to shot in size and power…

But like i said you never know ..but it was cklear badr is way more powerfull

Commentator needs to zip it

Even Davis Haye will blast Hari. Boxing is a different game

by higgledy-piggledy on Jan 28, 2012 4:43 PM EST reply actions  

At this point, yes.

But Hari is still pretty young, and with the right trainers and upbringing, Badr could be an elite heavyweight boxer in a few years.

he's def exciting.

It will be a journey…considering all the politics in Boxing. But I wish him the best.

THe commentator is just annoyingly hyping the man before he’s even began his journey.

Good event, well worth the price. Happy to see Ghita and Hari win, but also sad to see Badr go away.

Yeah, it really was a solid lineup.

It’s Showtime is really taking the reigns as the top dog in kickboxing.
