Kickboxing is the good sport. WHen people are kickboxing, the crowd goes "wow", it's good, clean fun for the whole family. The man on the street loves to see kick boxing, and that is why a variety of criminals gave it to him, until too many of them were shot, chainsawed, jailed for murder, jailed for tax evasion, or ran out of money. So now there's really only one game in town. https://www.gloryworldseries.com Glory is the spiritual successor to K-1, it was actually going to be K-1 (and they own a substantial part of the tape library or something) but criminals love to do stupid business dealings. In execution it's more like the spiritual successor to It's Showtime, but It's Showtime was cool as hell. They run shows all over the world but probably shouldn't, and are focusing on the American market. How do I watch it? They have a TV deal with Spike TV and are on there regularly except for when they take 3 to 4 month breaks for no reason. They're also starting to hold PPV shows in addition to the free TV stuff, starting with a middleweight 8 man tournament. Upcoming shows Glory 16 - Denver  THIS SATURDAY Main card: Karapet Karapetyan vs Marc de Bonte - 5 round WW title fight Pat Barry vs Zack Mwekassa - HW tournament reserve fight HW contender tournament* Anderson "Braddock" Silva vs Sergei Kharitonov Ben Edwards vs Errol Zimmerman *(Since Glory have moved towards having actual titles, tournaments are now used to determine contenders, except the contender tournaments are actually a second string tournament, with the winner being placed in the world tournament, which has its own separate title from the championship, and the world tournament winner eventually fights the champion) There's also a "superfight series" on the card, which is just undercard stuff that you have to pay to watch live, or wait for them to upload it days/weeks later on the website for free.  http://www.k-1.tv K-1 still exists, but it may as well not because it's loving miserable and impossible to follow. What happened to K-1? The parent company went bankrupt and they sold to a Korean businessman who has no loving idea what he's doing and it has limped on in this weird quasi-dead state for years. You may have heard the phrase "Mirko Crocop, K-1 World Grand Prix Champion" but please ignore that. They just signed Paul Daley for a year since he's been slapping people to death with his left hand recently. That's worth watching for free. How do I watch it? On their loving garbage Ustream poo poo that never loving works right every 6 months when they hold some turdulous show. This was supposed to be a stopgap until their TV deals kicked in 4 months ago, which of course never happened. Upcoming shows  This one in July, Buakaw vs Kehl, Souwer vs Somebody Else, Paul Daley. They've apparently moved to a number system for their shows since it looks embarrassing to hold the 2013 MAX finals in July 2014. News sites https://www.liverkick.com is basically the only dedicated one, however recently MMA sites such as https://www.mmafighting.com https://www.bloodyelbow.com have some coverage. Other weird goings on Some guys in Dubai are holding a 1 million Dirham tournament starring Badr Hari, Peter Graham, Arnold Oborotov, and Stefan Leko. Guess who's winning that? Also Peter Aerts and Dewey Cooper (lol) will be on the card One of the Japanese orgs started putting their fights online, here's Noiri vs Tetsuya Yamato https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0R1RMpGE2nE Watch Glory this weekend. There are 3 stunning fat men in a tournament, in Denver, and the only one training at altitude is Sergei somehow.

Bubba Smith posted:which Dutch congressman do I write to stop this from happening Aside from the fact it's way too early for them to be doing PPV, it's supplemental to the shows they're already running, except on the same cards. Glory 17 in LA is the first PPV show and it's going to have a tournament on the Spike broadcast, a title fight on the Spike broadcast, a tournament twice as big as the TV one on the PPV broadcast, and Ghita/Verhoeven for the title, plus reserve fights and possibly undercard stuff. And none of it will make money at all.

Bluedeanie posted:How bad is Pat Barry's opponent going to be in comparison to him? Google says he's a cruiserweight boxer with 3 ko losses in 18 fights. The bookies have him a 2-1 dog so Pat should be okay.

I watched a good bit of K-1 back in like 2001-2004 but haven't had a chance to see Glory until now. Very excited. Is there anything different about the rules?
