@ThatWebNerd He had pains in his leg

what was going on ? aghayev without power, without speed, slipping away.. normally he's exploding but this was just lame. he must have been tired from fights before.. this is absolutely not like him.

buen trabajo tactico del Italiano, lo neutralizo

For those who don't know, this is no ordinary Italins..he got the 2nd place after Rafa in world champion before and he is one of the most annoying fighters ou can ever face..his Kizami is sooo fast and he is so difficult to catch..

Worst Kumite match i've ever seen, if i was judging neither competitor would have scored a point. very disapointed. this match makes me feel even more like joining Kyokushin. i expect more from Elite Sports Karate. i like to think of the WKF as about the tip-tap-point-stop Karate everyone complains about. maybe european sport karate has become like european judo like my judo friends say, everything is about the points.

I hate to say this, but aghayev behaves like a drama-queen, in fact, he always has. never thought much of him as a kumite-phenomenon. he's hust a master of deceiving rather than a full-blown kumite animal. he's good alright, but so are 10,000 others out there. but none of them play chess: they just do karate. and follow the real "do". Osu.
