Masato VS Ian Schaffa K-1 Max 2006

[doucher0]

Google doesnt hold all the answers my friend. We were kickboxing sparring partners about 6 yrs. ago, at the gym where he learnt and competed in kickboxing long before myself.

[dembuontinhle]

no one won the fight !

[Darce223]

2:01 why does the ref break it up?

[MyTolong]

no womom no dry

[gigibuybuy]

anyone else think it's a fake fight?

Ian specifically avoid masato's chin every punch

usually punching gloves inches short of masato's face

[AudienceKiller66]

@gigibuybuy either that or Masato was just good at parrying his punch.

[Blahb27]

@gigibuybuy There's nothing fake about it, Schaffa's finding of the range is just not working, probably because Masato blocks, dodges and controls the distance too.

Knowing that Schaffa's kickboxing experience comes from full contact karate, it's not unexpected. That's still a different game from kickboxing European or Japanese style. Notice how light and upward aimed Schaffa's lowkicks are, and how he never seems to block them while not standing still when attacked? Typical for that style.

[doucher0]

@Blahb27 Ians kickboxing experience comes from full contact karate?

Fact? or speculation?

[Blahb27]

@doucher0 If you'd googled his name you'd have read it does. His initial background is from kyukushin karate and brazilian jiu jitsu. He's also had some boxing fights, but nothing that could prepare him for the K1 kickboxing circuit, let alone for a fighter of Masato's calibre.

You can clearly tell the various influences in his fighting style. The hopping and low hands from MMA for instance, the bad front leg cover and tendency to bend over from boxing, etc,

[cruelgrotequeblood]

Very fast and technical. Masato is definitely one of the toughest fighter to face against. Especially because of speed.

[WarpedMental]

both fighters awesome speed, power and strength. Good fight.

[Jehuty989]

both amazing fighters! ian schaffa is so humble and has alot of respect for all the fighters he faces.

[codeagent47]

Schaffa's left leg has getting so much punishment!! lol

[redblazerpea]

masato made ian look like a beginner.

[chinkohametarou]

シャファーじゃなくてスカッファって発音するんでは

[6023Nath]

In my honest opinion Ian won on points even though it was close, he landed more punches and a few good kicks. Mosato always win and i think there may have been big money on the line so Ian lost, but i think both apreciated the integrity of both fighters. Masato was my fav fighter, now it's Ian. Peace.

[simmo19801]

Both good fighters, Good match up...

[Alper6293]

Lol i can hear so many hot babes screaming.

[Blogdub]

Rednecks use the word "Jap" as a term for people of Japanses decent, also used as a derogatory term during World War II.

[RobDaFob]

What a fuckin nice roundhouse kick by Masato at 10:39!!! lol

[winroseful]

i luv masato

[Maarc084]

Open your eyes then!

[alxide]

I can't see a japanese fighter use thaiboxe instead of okinawa karate...

[xxxxxUndisputedxxxxx]

it's called "kickboxing". kickboxing is not from thai or okinawa

[nikonxxx]

you fucking niggas and japs and pigs and bitches and snitches

its all word play i can see none of yall faces

but these fighter right here are fast

[enzoci]

i'm italian and i love so much japan!

[StupidPilot]

same way you can say nigger if your black?

[k3isuke]

MASATO is s-uck- he cheating, he said if he lost to BUAKAW again he will quit so the k1 associate have to cheat for him because if k1 associate lost Masato which mean he lost the money from fans. he s-ck.

[manuheat8]

very good fighter that ian... hes a very good puncher... great combinations... but masato rules...

[SILbenson]

its part of tradition in muay thai i forget wat its called tho

[SOULFIGHT]

prajiat. It's to protect him from evil spirits during his fight... and to look cool

[Athrun000]

What is that string they tied around their arm for...!?

[tonyvalenteDOA]

so their arm doesn't fall off...lol hell if i know. maybe decoration.=)

[sagmann20]

no bias...this time at least

[swallowpin]

korean are all raped by dogs,they are suck in k1 and mma,korean kick very strong in football,they are kung-fu football,they are fucking shit country and people in the world,I think korean must all killed by all over the world.

[quackajack13z]

Wow, you got problems.

[MarkinhoS2791]

im europan but i thing the koreans are good fighters and very very good bboys :) kill yourself and I give you thumb UP :) sorry my english is bad :)

[channelin]

what the fuck is disrespectful about japs or jap? its short hand. 'blacks' and 'whites' is commonly used and thats not disrespectful!

[sagmann20]

yeah but "jap" is a slur with historical hatred attached to it

[SOULFIGHT]

You can say jap if you're Japanese. My roommate said that to me.

[sagmann20]

ahh, so its like "i can call my sister a bitch but you better not"

[RegistrationCop]

haha yup its that kind of concept to this person.. i can't read what this person said but I already know what it basically was.

[cwtan3]

I'm assuming this is like in america yeah? to me jap is jsut an abbreviation of japanese... but then again...who noes what cultural interpretation they might have for the word jap~~

[chriscoolio89]

Das ist DER legendäre Kampf! Unvergessen!

[Xodrius]

MaSaTo

[Jinpacho]

Whats the name of the intro song to Masato?

[SherAFG]

(Band) Stab blue - (Song) Silver wolf

[lucirz]

ian is more of a boxer than anything else..his kicks are weak

[drmnys]

After reading some of these comments...all i can say is westerners weep when their asses r handed to them...sore losers. Cant u guys ever compliment the victor. Cant u ever be gracious in defeat. I have noticed this in every professional competition...western viewers cant handle defeat even if its fair & square. If there is bias (which i dont think was in this match) then it also exists in ur countries when others compete there. But of course u wouldnt notice that.

[Rbattam]

Seriously mate, there is alot of bias watch some other fights.. you obviously dont watch much K1.. ive seen them mouthing off and stuff.. and as soon as anyone that isnt jap mouths off back they get a warning card.. but jap never gets bothered.. they ignore points where they can get away with it to non japanese fighters... ive watched enough to know this. its thumbs up for their own race. You are a retard.. you can call japanese japs without it being disrespectful...your a dick.

[Basketbaka1031]

Do you realise Masato is the first ever japanese fighter to be k-1 champ?

you should stop being so defensive. its a sport. sure, there might be a little bias but in this match, i dont see any. Round 1 and round 3 were pretty much Masato's, and you could see that he did a good bit of damage to Schaffa's left thigh by the end of the match.

Masato was just as good at punching as schaffa throughout the fight, although in round 2 schaffa gave a few nice counters in. It was a good fight anyway.

[sss28440]

>>Rbattam

You can't talk like "japs thumbs up for their own race" or whatever.. Look at other professional sports.. UFC is giving american favour from match-making, pro-boxing is for latin people and african american, soccer is for western countries ( like offside, typical controversial issue in soccer.) Much more, Kickboxing is Japanese sport as well as Judo, Jiujitsu, Karate, and Sumo. You cannot talk about "national character" from one kickboxing match..

[Rbattam]

Of course japs are bias.. its their own country..... ians handwork was better than masato's, masato won it on leg kick points.. and deserved the win.. but there was a round there where i think ians counter attacks were hitting more than masatos attacks. But.. japs still gave it to masato... defiantely bias.

[drmnys]

WTF are u talkin about. There is no bias. & its japanese not jap u disrespectful asshole.

[superfly000]

much disrespect to ian right there for saying that

[superfly000]

no bias here, sit down

[sss28440]

>>Rbattam

Every professional sport have bias, boxing, soccer, UFC, and even holywood movie. I appreciate you like K1, but don't talk about "national characteristics".

[chrispieters]

BIAS!! There is no way Masato should have won that. However Schaffo walking backwards was no good. Masato should play football hes pretty good when it comes to kicking. Thats all he can do. Schaffo owned him at 10:50 He put him right on his arse.

[sagmann20]

that kick didnt land cleanly, it was more of a fall. no bias here, masato dominated

[redblazerpea]

@chrispieters well kicking is part of kickboxing hence the name. he is even better with his hands. he is regarded by many as the best boxer in all K1 and K1MAX

[phawaree]

Masato have a very good speed

[26589580]

Masato is a great fighter from Japan.

[40reg20]

Ian got robbed.....

[arhvash]

masato gassed out in final round...

[hohktkd]

you can tell ians being really precaucious at the start of the fight, i dont blame him though masato is a pretty deadly striker but i think ian had some good opportunities to do some damage to masato but still a great fight

[Ozpride]

　If any thing should of been a split decision either way Masato scored well with kicks but Ian scored better with the hands

[centauri32111]

oh my jesus!!!!! what the hell was that screaming @ 6:11??? an outter space creature?!!??

[mrdemeanor]

oh good fucxk youre funny as hell i laughed so hard

[centauri32111]

they have landed!! run!!

[massato88]

I have the Masato DVD.

[RonnieEpe]

what's the song at the enter of Masato ?

[LoudnessGuyNejc]

the song is called Silver Wolf by a japanese metal band called Stab Blue. Masato has a link to their website on his own website. Cool band..

[RonnieEpe]

thnx.. sounds pretty cool :)

[LoudnessGuyNejc]

by the way, Masato and the singer from Stab blue are great friends. Oh and to hear the whole song and see some rare Masato footage go to Masato's gym's website. Just type Silver Wolf Gym into google or something. :)

[tmciftci]

I dont understand why some people say that ian was the winner or that he should won. Masato was controlling the match from the beginning and was scoring the whole time why ian swings rarly with his arms. At the end you could see that ian also agreed with it.

Bytheway masato really fought easy here

[bianconiglietto]

plase someone tell me id of main theme soundtrack when the sponsors appear!!

PLS!!!! HELP ME!!!

[mystisohorney]

i love Masato as a fan, but he often gets decisions that he doesnt deserve. You would have to be blind and stupid to not see how K1 favors a popular Japanese fighter like Masato. That said Masato definitly won this fight, great fight too!

[aznQ305]

hey is kid yamamoto the third commantator in this fight??...i keep hearing his name and then what appears to be him speaking...u can tell by that slow way he always talks...that i jus got punched in  the head 10 times in a row speach about him..lol (2:06)

[unregisturd]

Yes it's Yamamoto

[mrdemeanor]

oh yea his sister is just so fuckable

[MomochiMahoro]

Masato did better... plain and simple. If the fight went on Masato would have won it. That guy was desperately swinging and not causing damage.

[ronny22]

how the hell did masato win

[MayhemMu]

wow schaffa didnt check the whole fight lol .. that was masatos fight easily.

[rizzle321111]

wow all masato has to do is his infamous pose (1:21) and the women go crazy!!

[Roninblaze26]

ohh iam so sorry the allmighty american has spoken only" he " can have hes opinions and they are almighty words indded

idiot the rest off the world wont cry when america falls

ur opinion is as mutch worth as mine respekt mine and ill respekt yours .. americans know all and is best allknowing idiot

[khachdatinh]

Ronin. Koreans are stupid. I have proof before saying that. They bitch about Japan invaded Korea, about world war II while watch a kickboxing clip. how stupid is that ?

[Roninblaze26]

i dont hate anyone

but i hate americans...

se the difrence in logic?

fool

[khachdatinh]

what the hell is your hatred toward americans has anything to do with KICKBOXING? idiot.

[tldevilsh]

shut the fuck up

[Roninblaze26]

make me shut up legend and i will but iam sure you dont care bour ur history , but then again who are you?

make me and i will

[TheLegend808]

WTF some people are blind. Masato won that fight hands down. No Ian did not start out in boxing he started with TKD believe it or not. And maybe he could change to a V guard, because his guard looks strange and seems ineffective. Also, Ronin save the history lesson for school ok? How u managed to start bitchin bout WW2 with a K-1 vid is beyond me. After all your comments make u seem more racist than those dirty, shit eating japs u described. So in short Shut the fuck up!

[Zhanmadao]

how did masato win? all he did was kicks while ian did alot of hits on him.. wow bias?

[superfly000]

do you even watch kickboxing or n e thing martial arts of the sort? you know your blind when

[Zhanmadao]

you know your blind when you suck too much of masato's dick 8========D

[superfly000]

you know your gay when you think penis

[Zhanmadao]

you know you're retarded when you can't really talk shit :)

[superfly000]

you know you got shit for brains when you assume random shit ;P

[Zhanmadao]

you know you're full of shit when your username is superfly .

[superfly000]

i take that as a compliment :)

[thatcoffeewasgood]

[Roninblaze26]

[afrosmaximus]

Why do all these MMA types always try to butt rape kickboxers?

[qeeky]

[benzy199]

seriuosly anyone trying 2 say that the judgeing was biast doesnt know how to score k1, its not even close by the end, not biast judgeing just masato took schaffa 2 peices

[qeeky]

[Roninblaze26]

japanese is good ppl , only they stil think they are better than other ppl like koreans even tho they are absicly same ppl , and all true history they been invading korea

[aza239]

gamw thn mana tou masato

[hurricaneshaneK1son]

thank you for posting this video. I think this is the only one on youtube with them fighting thanks man keep it up. Masato is the man.

[GuitarEclipse]

Masato is a great fighter so is buakaw those two are the best

[hurricaneshaneK1son]

you just started watching K-1 didn't you. there is also andy sower, and mike zambidis they have a really good chance of winning, but keep following up on it this year is going to off the hook.

[tetedecitron]

please what is the first song in the oponing of the vids? i heard it in a lot of k-1 world max vids

[turbomyl]

F japan Judges

[kenjisato]

hmm..... well it could have been another round to me, but i don't keep points cause im lazy XD

very good mach, both looked like they respected each other

[uchimatasukashi]

bad mouth shaffa all you want hes a machine any other fighter would of been ko'ed let alone make it to the final round IAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[snabybeside]

Masato is best!

[peteyboy123456]

Masato got his ass woop by Buakaw

[rawfusion99m]

lol you damn right he did but you got to say that masato has a nice punch game and he and a few others come real close to beating buakaw

[redblazerpea]

@rawfusion99m come real close? masato schooled buakaw in 07. he basically taught buakaw a boxing lesson using his face as practise.

[redblazerpea]

@peteyboy123456 but in 2007 masato whooped buakaw's ass

[benzy199]

muaymartin that is genuis, ''nervous convultions'' when i saw this fight on eurosport i was almost in tears watching him haveing a fit in the ring

[russianpimp69]

Ian Schaffa lost that fight. He should be thankful he survive. For some reason Masato did not follow up when Ian is in trouble.

[MuayMartin]

Masato won that fight clearly. Ian doesn´t even know how a regular kickboxing stance looks like.

It looks like shaffa has nervous convulsions hahaha.

[GavinGape]

Great fight with a deserving winner!

[cchaghnppohng]

is it just me, or does Masato always wear red gloves?

[koto305]

wow talk about obsevant....i thought i was the only one that noticed that..and come 2 think of it the only times i seen masato wear blue gloves he happened to lose...ohhhh creeepy.

[dreadful66]

I can't believe someone's saying that Ian won.

Ian's punch mostly hit his arms and gloves.

Masato got most of the clean hits.

Masato never really tried to take that much distance with Ian. Masato was cornering him most of the time.

And when Ian came in for a punch, Masato also fought back with a punch.

[jellybeansinc]

holy shit masato got some nice kicking power. i never seen him use b4. it was a good fight.

[lucirz]

ian can box

[kPr1me]

Ian fked him up, Bias.

[titaniumwolf2]

masato is a smart fighter, and takes his time, he would of hurt ians legs in the first round.

[chickoplum]

yo sharky its plum...nice fight dude, get in touch on my hotmail soon.

[princedoza]

Masato realised he was a dangerous puncher with a wide guard to lure him in to punching so instead kept with kicks most of the fight which he had success with. Masato was never in any danger from his punches at any stage in the fight.

[tigeruppercut86]

whoever agrees that ian controlled this whole fight is obviously blind or retarded. k1mma i would seriously like to know where you came up with this theory.

[ChauncyCharm]

Buakaw is the best....

[SensualEMO]

Masato is Master!! He's good, but not #1! That spot is for Buakaw Pramuk. By far!!!

[RJBATTAM]

You have to realise that Ian is a fast learner. He won't lose twice to masato, he knows his style now. And will eat him for breakfast in a re-match. I've seen him recently and he's even better.

[hasnbalcn]

masato has a good tecnic and also clever! maybe he s not powerfool enough but clever

[iambee]

Ian can't even find the ways to attack

[burningknuckle26]

lol @ saying masato cant box. he can fuck shit up with his hands. his boxing skills are better than buakaws. you piece of shit. Masato took this fight EASY

[KenHuyn]

Yeah pretty obviously Masato's fight. Schaffa looked sloppy for the most part with the punches. Masato controlled the match from beginning to end.

[jezuez47]

Ian Schaffa is my cousin..cool

[k1mma]

Ian was in the control on the fight the whole time masato landed some good kicks but ian landed the more harder hits and was always forcing masato back.

Any one got Genki sudo Vs Schaffa

[TrueGrave]

Masato is #1!!!!!!!

[phantomboi]

Yeah, I have to agree, Masato laied back n' took this fight like a cold beer freash out the fridge. Nice n' easy >8]

[bakamang]

masato took this shit easily.

[jkj89]

Masato clearly won this fight. He landed many leg kicks and controlled the pace of the fight.

[xtrueballerx]

Masato sucks! Ian smacked him around like crap! I don't know why the Japs are cheating so much! Masato can't even box. He looks like a midget! Buakaw all the way!!

[ericssson]

man !! your backward in mental development

ian is not in the same league as MASATO

Australians cant fight at that level...

[cph4]

Ever hear of a guy called John Wayne Parr? Masato won but Schaffa did good and put on a nice show.

[shadow2002]

Ian sucked ass, Masato took it to him all the way.

[chrisphenephom]

BUAKAW!!!

[urbabysoncrak]

Buakaw!

[qwerkboy]

Buakaw

[ekff]

BUAKAW!!!!
