it was an entertaining card.
spoiler alert if you haven't seen it
the tourney winner has an excellent left hook. I love his left hook/right low kick combo. When he commits and puts his weight behind it, it's a beautiful, vicious combo. He uses his left hook very well offensively but especially effective as a counter. I have a pretty mean over hand right but if I could pick any one punch to be great at it'd be a left hook (for concussing blows to the dome, devastating jaws and wreck livers)
but the loser in the tourney final had some mean low kicks. he turned that karate guy's left thigh into hamburger meat. set up the high kick real nice to advance to the final. but alas, he lost to the ranked #1 guy in that division who was #1 for a reason. gotta respect the runner up though. he knew he was down and with a sense of urgency he left it all on the line, going for broke. got countered by a hard right cross
The main event didn't make sense to me. I know it was Aerts' last fight so I don't know why they matched him with verhoeven. if they wanted him to go out on a win they shouldn't have picked a guy who is 24 yrs old coming off a tourney victory. but I guess it was ok since verhoeven isn't a devastating ko puncher. I felt he got lucky in the tourney that he won last october. his victory over saki to advance to the finals was a mistake on the ref's part. a trip was ruled a knockdown which lost saki the fight. but it's crazy that verhoeven is 24 yrs old with 50 fights under his belt. insane,...
That ghita guy is crazy looking. He's got them serial killer eyes and blank stare. He lost to verhoeven in the tourney finals last october but I think if fresh he beats verhoeven
