Good fighters, but they depend to much on their boxing. Not saying there's anythings wrong with that, but Sower won because he focused more on punishing the leg. However, if Andy had stronger leg kicks the fight would not go to decision. Good fighting style, but when a strong puncher meets a strong kicker. The kicker would just kick him in the arms. Old Muay Thai technique.Take out a punchers arms and he has no choice but to engage in a kicking game with you. No Kick No Life!
@ThatDirtyDogAgain Uhm, you do know that blocked hits score no points under kickboxing rules, and the Thai style of constant telegraphed midkicks is one of the simplest ways to lose a kickboxing match?
Besides, you can't ruin the arms of most fighters of that calibre. They're too used to blocked with it to be bothered. I mean, Souwer easily defeated Yodsaenklai Fairtex, mostly by simply blocking Yod's predictable midkicks and constantly answering with a lowkick that did score.
@Blahb27 If Souwer fought Yod under full Muay Thai rules, he wouldn't stand a chance. Andy was more hurt than Yod in that fight. There is a reason why international fighters won't go and fight Thailand's top fighters under their rules. Thailand's top contenders go fight all over the world and they still dominate even under kickboxing/k1 rules. You can say all you want about how you can't ruin the arms of most fighters. That's bull shit. Go to Thailand and hold some pads then tell me differently.
@ThatDirtyDogAgain I guess that explains why all the titles of all relevant organisations are not held by Thai fighters in the traditional muai thai style they use, but by kickboxers following different styles such as the Japanese or Dutch style. Rather surprising considering most of the top Thai contenders have four or five times as much experience as their counterparts.
It's quite simply a different game, much like you don't walk into a taekwondo match and start boxing.
Arthur is strong as hell he threw Andy down to the ground at least 3 times. It looked like Andy was flying in the air ! This is a great fight! They both fought great! The decision could have went either way!
Do they count how many strikes you gave the opponent and how much work you do or their judgement is based on how they feel like the day they judge ? ))))))
Do they count how many strikes you gave the opponent and how much work you do or their judgement is based on how they feel like the day they judge ? ))))))
Kyshenko has some monster power and speed, but Souwer was able to avoid, deflect or block the most damaging hits. Souwer seemed to have played up his extensive experience and just fought a more technically sound battle.
@LopiFromCONVICTED Yeah, that's what I thought too, especially since Souwer's injury. Unless he'd meet Petrosyan in the final 16 Kyshenko 'd stand a chance. But now another Dutchman, Mootje Khamal, quite simply out-punched Kyshenko
Realise: Khamal had only 10-11 A class fights and a muai thai match of similar level before his fight with Kyshenko, including the tournament where he qualified.
Maybe Kyshenko should try to enjoy the same competitions as his rivals and go train in the Netherlands.
artur just got KOed by hinata who isnt even in the top 10. a disgrace for artur. andy would never lose to a lower level fighter. thats why he is better.
Blocked?? All I see is replays of Artur Kyshenko, just because Andy had a big name, Artur lost, it's like, you're too young come back next year then you'll get the belt, haha
@redblazerpea , yea he lost because he fought souwer in european k-1 with some of the most racist judges......have you seen the fight?...because if you have youll see that yodsaenklai won
Artur is still very young fighter and very good fighter. He will be best one day! Gotta respect both! Andy Power Souwer is amazingly agile guy with great skill and great speed. Artur Kyshenko is awesome! He has talent for this! He is fast very strong and skilled guy. He will be best! Soon!
my favorite fight ever! I don't know how many times I've watched this fight before practice. You can only hope to perform with the same intensity and heart that these two brought through out this whole fight. Career nights for both men!. Thanks Andy and Artur for showing us how its done.
@redblazerpea i prefer kyshenko the most in his weight division because he has his own owning style when he goes berserk on some1,but his stamina is a problem,look other matches of his u will see that,and in any game of this type stamina is very important because if u lack it u will lack the ability to complete the match.
@internetTOUGHGUY10 He has great combos, I don't like his body as you said or anything like that... He is just using lots of nice performed combination even if he hits opponents guard.
I really like Andy Souwer as a fighter. He was using a lot of Muay Thai fighting technique's there at the end of the fight. He's very experienced, lots of skill too. He's a technical fighter, that's why I respect him. His fights are all tactics.
Look @ 3rd round , Kyshenko gave everything he had to the end ! No extra round needed , Kyshenko was bleeding , Artur you're my favorite fighter ! Good luck in future ! You're the 1 , changing K-1
once again, I think that the judges forced the extra fourth round, IMO, Kyshenko should have been the decisive winner out of the first three rounds. Souwer dominated the Final round, i must say. Epic fight nonetheless...
fourth round was called correctly in my opinion, i disagree with your comment on the 1st 3 rounds. see saltforyourwounds88's comments below - he's about right in my opinion
I think this year's final will be Souwer/Petrosyan with Souwer as the winner. Then I might be wrong, in which case I'd love to see Buakaw winning the belt again.
Not exactly. The first semi final will be Yuya Yamamoto vs Giorgio Petrosyan and the second semi final will be Andy Souwer vs Buakaw por Pramuk. Then the final will be one of those combinations: either Yamamoto/Souwer, Yamamoto/Buakaw (unlikely) or Petrosyan/Souwer, Petrosyan/Buakaw. Check it out on the K1 website!
@SiRoGoD The other guy is a great talent but andy had won the match after the rounds in my opinion. Andy's punches and kicks almost hit every time. The other guy was hitting air most of the time. Looking at points i really dont understand why they went to a draw round. I think the judges liked the energy of both men equally which i agree with. But not the points. No way.
In the 4th round Kyshenko was better than Souwer. Kyshenko won that round. He had more punches ad they were all to the point. Especillay spinning back fist, which Arthur thrown at the middle of the round. Looked very good.
How can you explain the fact that Andy made cut to Arthur's eyebrow with his head , and then no punishment followed from the judges?
While because of that cut Kyshenko could not aim properly.
Though I respect Souwer as a fighter, he is very dirty sometimes. Just watch his fight with Leroy Kaestner, where he hits Leroy with his knees when Kaestner is on the floor. No bias, only fact. Kaesner is also Dutch and he trains withPeter Aerts.
Wow! Fantastic fight! Kyshenko was clearly tiring towards the end, but great effort. I'm glad andy's wearing the thai shorts, the trousers always annoyed me!
This is one of the greatest fights iv seen in my life..i feel privileged to be watching this ..none-stop action from the beginning to end K1 MAX IS THE TRUTH!..i just wish more people would watch this shit and appreciate the quality of fighters K1MAX has.
too bad the jap's totally schedule the fights in favor of their fighters. you know these guys just want a crack at masato, but they have all the toughest fights while masato gets to fight weak opponents
That fact that the japs favour there fighters has been know since K1 MAX began..its obvious because they want there home grown fighters to win..i think the fighters all know that so when they fight a japanese fighter they have to KNOCK HIM THE FUCK OUT or BEAT HIS FUCKING ASS..
Uhm, Masato wasn't even in the race for this title. If there any kind of bias to argue about, it's an anti-Dutch bias.
Of course it makes sense, it says something that the majority of the K1 titles went to the Netherlands, and half the fighters in the final 8 2009 are Dutch. They even list anyone born abroad or whose parents where born abroad under the name of that country (Gago Drago listed as Armenian for example), just to make the listings look less Dutch.
thats nonsense man. tatsuya was chosen by public vote. they wanted to see them fight. masato has proven his ability by beating the best fighters. masato isnt even in the tournament.
arthur can REALLY use his body in his blows very well. seems like all his attacks are from pure momentum and body. alot better than most fighters. amazing fight.
du hast so überhaupt keine ahnung!! klar war´s nen guter fight aber Masato vs Buakaw im K1 Max war ein stärkerer fight und von K1 (also schwergewicht) brauch ich gar nich erzählen
Та пиздец просто.Япошки хотят что б финале вышел Masato ,они ж его за залупу каждый раз тянут.А если б Артур выиграл ,то он скорее всего попал бы в финал против Петросяна ,а двоих таких бойцов в финал уже не пустят,так как реально видно что победит кто-то из них.
I don't think the draw was correct though. Souwer took the 2nd and especially the 3rd round with room to spare. But then, the K1 often has doubtfull extra rounds, probably just to give the audience more fight per match. The K1 in Lodz had some very questionable draws too.
Souwer is always amazing though. Spinning back fist he couldn't block anymore, hits straight, and he carries on like it never even happened.
Hey, good old afropoetry, last time we talked about petr. vs kyshenko, now we're here. I like Kyshenko, but Souwer definitely won the last two rounds. He's more consistent than Artur and throws very well-timed and sharp shots. He's very accurate. Still Artur has tremendous power, and as you said, his power shots are also sapping his own power. :) I like the way he is fighting, Good technique and spectacular firepower. Though, they both are my favorite fighters, so now I like Andy to win the GP
kyshenko totaly won the first 3 rounds

In the 4th round Kyshenko was better than Souwer. Kyshenko won that round. He had more punches ad they were all to the point. Especillay spinning back fist, which Arthur thrown at the middle of the round. Looked very good.

Blahb27,
How can you explain the fact that Andy made cut to Arthur's eyebrow with his head , and then no punishment followed from the judges?
While because of that cut Kyshenko could not aim properly.
Though I respect Souwer as a fighter, he is very dirty sometimes. Just watch his fight with Leroy Kaestner, where he hits Leroy with his knees when Kaestner is on the floor. No bias, only fact. Kaesner is also Dutch and he trains withPeter Aerts.

Wow! Fantastic fight! Kyshenko was clearly tiring towards the end, but great effort. I'm glad andy's wearing the thai shorts, the trousers always annoyed me!

too bad the jap's totally schedule the fights in favor of their fighters. you know these guys just want a crack at masato, but they have all the toughest fights while masato gets to fight weak opponents

That fact that the japs favour there fighters has been know since K1 MAX began..its obvious because they want there home grown fighters to win..i think the fighters all know that so when they fight a japanese fighter they have to KNOCK HIM THE FUCK OUT or BEAT HIS FUCKING ASS..

Uhm, Masato wasn't even in the race for this title. If there any kind of bias to argue about, it's an anti-Dutch bias.
Of course it makes sense, it says something that the majority of the K1 titles went to the Netherlands, and half the fighters in the final 8 2009 are Dutch. They even list anyone born abroad or whose parents where born abroad under the name of that country (Gago Drago listed as Armenian for example), just to make the listings look less Dutch.
But, it's arguable.

thats nonsense man. tatsuya was chosen by public vote. they wanted to see them fight. masato has proven his ability by beating the best fighters. masato isnt even in the tournament.

This is why K-1 MAX is K-1 MAX. Awesome fight from the start to the end.

Что за гон.. там после 3 раунда ясно было ,что Артур победил.В дополнительном равный бой был.Какого х.ра отдали победу Сауэру я понять не могу.

Та пиздец просто.Япошки хотят что б финале вышел Masato ,они ж его за залупу каждый раз тянут.А если б Артур выиграл ,то он скорее всего попал бы в финал против Петросяна ,а двоих таких бойцов в финал уже не пустят,так как реально видно что победит кто-то из них.

Wow, what a match. Really a joy to watch.
I don't think the draw was correct though. Souwer took the 2nd and especially the 3rd round with room to spare. But then, the K1 often has doubtfull extra rounds, probably just to give the audience more fight per match. The K1 in Lodz had some very questionable draws too.
Souwer is always amazing though. Spinning back fist he couldn't block anymore, hits straight, and he carries on like it never even happened.

Hey, good old afropoetry, last time we talked about petr. vs kyshenko, now we're here. I like Kyshenko, but Souwer definitely won the last two rounds. He's more consistent than Artur and throws very well-timed and sharp shots. He's very accurate. Still Artur has tremendous power, and as you said, his power shots are also sapping his own power. :) I like the way he is fighting, Good technique and spectacular firepower. Though, they both are my favorite fighters, so now I like Andy to win the GP
