Sato has INCREDIBLE heart.. he can't even stand up straight, he's getting hit over and over and all he's doing is trying to punch back and knee back... Drago shows a lot of heart too but.. Sato is incredible.. Jesus..
The judges were fucking blind who scored this fight. Sato won after the first 3 rounds. Sato made combinations and scored the whole fight with lowkicks. The only thing drago did was throwing big single punches and kicks and most of them were blocked. It's important the crowd loves you in Japan than the judges will always score in your favorite.
One thing about drago is that he has more kicking techniques in his bag than most fighters in K1. Now when he won this maybe he will get more confidence to use those in the future. :)
It all depends man. Sometimes relying on kicks can be dangerous. If you do a spinning kick, the opponent may be somewhere else by the time you've turned around fully. And on such a level of fighting, nobody can simply absorb punches out of nowhere anymore. It's too risky.
Therefore he need to put in the spinning back kick in a combo as a counter. Like punch punch, go back, the enemy going after him to attack, lay out one or to punches as you move back then when he holding one glove forward to cover up, bam! turn around with the spinning back kick.
K-1 judging sucks. First Buakaw's "Draws". Like the one against Dida and the first Masato fight, then you have this. Sato won those first rounds, but you gotta admit Drago won the last round. K-1 needs some real judging! An enough of Masato favoritism, even though he is a great fighter.
Very odd. All of a sudden Sato seems to lose every strenght. Just from one moment to the other. A few second after that, the heelkick comes. But that kick wasen't the reason that Sato lost it.
I like Drago, but I think Sato is the better fighter. Drago is an unguided projectile. Great to see him fight though.
Sato was too tired to use his usual strategy in OT. He should have at least kept Drago at bay with the jab though.

Sato is disliked by TV station "TBS" in Japan.
However, there are a lot of fans because he is positive.

i don't know. I thought sato won all three round. There wasn't a need to go into the extra round.
Sato gave his all in the first three round, so he gased out at the end.
Worse judge fight of the tournament.

i think the judge call was fair ... sato won first round while second was draw and drago clearly won third ... (not to mention fourth)

Sato's low kick worked well against Drago's legs. So it was very difficult to judge.

He really showed that he wanted to win that fight more than his opponent in the last round. Great fighting spirit and heart.
