all respect to Petas; like manemustaine said when on fighting mood he can challenge much bigger tough gyus like Aerts; he is only 180cm tall which is not enough in K1. his kakatogeri does not work on these big gyus but audience seems to love it.
there's another film of this fight, where they show replays. It's even harder than you can tell from this view. Plus Aerts had his glove into the face of Pettas. So i doubt he saw anything coming.
Pettas is a class fighter but chooses the worst times to get sloppy, when hes winning or really competitive, like the famous broken nose fight with ignashov, he was winning that fight too until a moment of sloppyness. He's a better fighter than his record states
@wei461101 I see you posted this a year ago, but I just read it now. Anyway, I know that Pettas was the last "gaijin" uchi deshi of Oyama, but I don't know about him being the first too (that is, the only one ever). I could be wrong, but I think Steve Arneil might have been the first "gaijin" uchi deshi in Kyokushin. He was the first to complete the 100-man kumite anyway. My teacher, Akira Masuda, was another.
you know the guy that once lost to gerome and after the fight ended he got mad at gerome but he didnt touch him , and then gerome le banner koed him ?
how is this a fair fight aerts is huge seems 50 pounds heavier, or is it just an optical illusion?
