One year of 70kg (154-pound) K-1 action will finally reach a climax on Monday as the reigning champion and the world’s best kickboxer Giorgio Petrosyan will attempt to defend his title at the K-1 World Max 2010 70kg World Championship tournament final in Tokyo, Japan.
Veterans Mike Zambidis, Yoshihiro Sato, Drago and Albert Kraus, and relative newcomers Yuichiro “Jienotsu” Nagashima, Mohamed Khamal and Michal Glogowski, will all be attempting to dethrone “The Doctor” and take the most prestigious title in kickboxing. Also, in MMA action Beijing judo gold medalist Satoshi Ishii will look to take the next step in his career when he faces “Mad Dog Wrestler” Katsuyori Shibata.
After the break, predictions so good that we may as well call them pre-fight results.
