What an all start line up in this grand prix. The only one that wasn't there was Bernardo (RIP). Cikatic wasn't there, but he was already long tired, and neither was Satake, but he was a bit out of prime by that point. Whatever the case, this gp had all the greats. A pleasure to watch strikin...

Mirko was at his prime in round one-- just flat devastating. If it had been almost anyone outside of Hoost, Mirko would have put them to sleep. I miss that Mirko. I hate seeing him lose to guys that couldn't hold his jock in his hey day.

Having said that, when the going got tough, Mirko found...

Liver kick! Hard to land, but works everytime when it does!

Jesus Christ! Le Banner was a beast. That guy can hit. But..Hoost is Hoost. He knows how to win fights.

Mirko was so different back then. It's so sad what age does to a fighter. His combination of speed, power, and accuracy were nothing short of lethal. Mirko was a true and rare killer. Like a little Mike Tyson. He is a far cry from what he once was. I hope that after his upcoming kickboxing ...

Jeez...what a short, but amazing fight. Even though Aerts got KOed, I can see that he has the goods to beat LeBanner. Much like with an earlier fight against Bernardo which he lost, Aerts has the tools to beat these guys, and should, but sometimes gets anxious and gets locked into a brawl, whic...

Wow, just wow. I think Hoost is the most technically skilled fighter in K-1 history, and he displayed that here. And Hug-- man, all heart. That guy just keeps coming back for me...like the terminator. Hug was a real fighter, a warrior, and its a shame he passed away, especially when he did, a...

@reyrobles Wow...and you are a fucking idiot! Sakuraba is a top ten all time great. Stop posting nonsense and go slit your wrists. Fucking cunt.

Sefo is too much for me. He would have done much better-- may have even won the fight-- if he hadn't been doing so much niggering around during the fight.

I think the second knockdown was a slip, but having said that, I dont think it would have changed anything. Hug was a finisher, and he would put have a stamp on Sefo. Shame Hug went out at all, let alone when he did, as he was in his prime and had many more great fights to show world. We will ...

Hoost looked ill in this fight... doesn't he usually wear more than 197? He looked so tiny compared to Greco. Greco is bad ass, but this, in no way shape or form, was Hoost at his best.

Satake is a K-1 classic-- while he will not go down in fame, he was in the mix during that time and took on all the greats. Aerts was on fire this night, though, was was too much for Satake.

Only once in Cro Cop's entire career (vs Pat Barry) has he came from behind to win a fight. Either he starts winning right from the get go, and ends up winning, or he starts losing at some point and goes on to lose the fight. Against Fedor, when the going got real tough, he began to stall out a...

@brippie Agreed.

Hug was unfucking believable... to come back from a double overtime war with Hoost...which was the eviqualevent, in regards to energy expended, to fifteen regular rounds (if you haven't seen Hug versus Hoost in the 96 gp final...watch it... it may well be the greatest kickiboxing match I have eve...

Rooze is okay...he's big and hits hard...his skills are so so. Jean Claude doesn't belong at this level. Rooze has a boner when he is coming out to fight. And yes, Rooze has always historically been known as a dirty fighter.

That's the best kickinboxing match I've ever seen. Hoost and Hug are fucking warriors. Props to both. Two of the greatest of all time right there. Having said that, the fight was close, but it should not have gone to Hug. Hoost won imo.

Kickboxing history right there, folks.

Merwe didn't belong.

@lorrenzopicozzi Agreed. I'm not sure that Bernardo's dirty tactics changed the outcome of the fight, but he is definitely dirty. Either way, he dethroned King Aerts. Huge win. The biggest of Bernardo's career.

Yeah...Harinck's gym was the shit back then. He produced Aerts and Branko-- two of the best kickboxers ever. They ran the table in the early days of K-1. When did Branko retire?

Aerts is the man-- and LeBanner was a devastating fighter-- but he always seemed to crumble when he fought guys he was supposed to lose to. Perhaps it was a mental thing. I kind of think he could have kept going here....

The two greatest kickboxers of all time getting after it when they both were in their primes. This is history, people.

Aerts is the man, but how the fuck did Atokawa make the finals? He's a brave and game fighter, but way too small to fight with the big boys!

I've always thought Ernesto was the most skilled fither in K-1...That doesn't necessarily mean he would beat them all (Aerts comes to mind as a guy I would put my money on if/ when they locked them up in their prime), but his technique was second to one. Amazing how Kleijn begins throwing his pu...

Amazing fight. I loved seeing Bernardo put Stan away. Stan was always cocky and arrogant in the ring...it caught up with him lol! But-- amazing fighting spirit by both. Bernardo has a fucking chin on him. He needs to work on defense to the left hook, lol. Whatever the case, Bernardo, the more...

Anybody know anything about Akbar? How the hell did he make it to K1? He looked like he sucked....

@bazcor1 Fuck off bazcor. At the time, this was an outstanding fight between two outstanding fighters. Two of the best kickoboxers in the world at the time-- and not because the talent was low in kickboxing...it was actually stacked.

The guy with the stache is "Big" Joe Joyce...he was an undefeated bareknuckle boxer back in the day. He was reputedly the toughest man in Ireland for some time.

I want to cum on the girl with the hat's face.
