The punches in bareknuckle are generally less powerful because they don't have the added mass of gloves and fighters are worrying about breaking hands but I don't know how much that matters in the big picture when full bore headkicks are involved

I like how we're ignoring they're loving headbutting each other.

Also I spent days trying to penetrate the Burmese internet to figure out how to watch this event live and I'm coming up empty. Canal + Myanmar doesn't stream, fox sports Asia doesn't have the event on their schedule and Burmese streaming inst a big enough market for our Russian pirate friends. I think some Burmese people on youtube just youtube streamed the last event live which I assume worked because I doubt WLC has a big anti-piracy team but I don't even know when the event is airing EST to even look for the streams. I was going to try and skype some random Burmese WLC fans to figure out how to watch this but I've been busy.

Heroic effort kimbo305 posted:Yes, the pay cut is probably not worth it, but I don't think a decently wrapped fist is any less damaging (in the rock your brain sense) than big gloves. Smaller surface area could mean better chance of cracking an orbital or jaw. Though it is somewhat gated by trying not to punch so hard as to break your hand during the fight. Definitely looked to me like they were trying to glance their punches to set up other stuff instead of turning their hands into bags of sand and blood

I remember watching some of that years ago and being impressed with the body punching. I saw a lot of long hooks to the ribs that you don't really see in other sports

I also remember there being basically no warning when a child fight was starting, a tradition that is probably going to be a problem for syndication https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSxwrMkz9ws

In boxing a guy can let loose a bit when he gets big cause a million dollar purse takes you a long way. These guys’ checks, not so much

Not too sure anyone cares but Khaos did an event today. Khaos.6 Results are on this page and I'm looking for any of the stream VODs or whatever to link as well. https://www.k-1.co.jp/schedule/16476/ In addition K-1 is doing a 90kg Tournament on the 24th. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_in_K-1#K-1_World_GP_2018_-90kg_World_Tournament Cruiserweight 90 kg (Quarterfinals) - OD-KEN vs. Sina Karimian Cruiserweight 90 kg (Quarterfinals) - K-JEE vs. Brian McGrath Cruiserweight 90 kg (Quarterfinals) - Hitoshi Sugimoto vs. England Aundre Groce Cruiserweight 90 kg (Quarterfinals) - Makoto Uehara vs. Masinissa Hamaili Cruiserweight 90 kg (Reserve) - RUI vs. Furuta Taichi Kind of wish I knew there was an event a bit earlier because I could've gone to Japan for that event.

If anyone speaks mandarin, Guo Chendong has a book coming out about his time running Glory of Heroes. He's promising to name names but I kind of doubt he will do anything other than jerk himself off for 200 pages. Also, everyone else might have seen this but Philip Kimura, the Japanese guy who looks exactly like rory macdonald, proposed to his pornstar girlfriend last month. I don't know if that means he's taking time off or what https://twitter.com/k1wgp_pr/status/1026070250788249601

K-1 is having a lightweight tournament happen this weekend, so hours upon hours of kickboxing overnight/early in the morning depending on where you are. Card is as follows (c/p from grabakahitman's blog because I am lazy): Main Card – GAORA / Abema.tv (JP IP Required) – 12:30am ET / 9:30pm PT Takeru vs. Koji Sumeragichi TBD vs. TBD – Lightweight Final Yoshiki Takei vs. Yodbuadaeng Fairtex Masaaki Noiri vs. Riki Matsuoka Hideaki Yamazaki vs. Rukiya Anpo TBD vs. TBD – Lightweight Semifinal 2 TBD vs. TBD – Lightweight Semifinal 1 -INTERMISSION- Riku Anpo vs. Taio Asahisa Shuhei Kumura vs. Yuta Hayashi Fumiya Osawa vs. Liu Wei – Lightweight Quarterfinal Kyoshiro vs. Indigo Boyd – Lightweight Quarterfinal Yuto Shinohara vs. Gonnapar Weerasakreck – Lightweight Quarterfinal Kenta Hayashi vs. Nicolas Gaffie – Lightweight Quarterfinal Hisaki Higashimoto vs. Shinichiro Kawasaki – Reserve Preliminary Card – GAORA / Abema.tv (JP IP Required) – 11:30pm ET / 8:30pm PT Masafumi Kurasaki vs. Tetsu Seiya vs. Koji Suzuki Aoshi vs. Yuto Kuroda 1. Is Takeru's opponent worth anything? 2. Anyone in the actual tournament worth keeping an eye on? It has been a while since I watched K-1 so none of the names immediately leap out at me 3. Any hot tips for spoofing a Japanese IP without having to purchase poo poo are greatly appreciated
