They have a guy in K1 with the nickname "Japanese killer", is that normal? Anyway, I was studying kanji pretty hard core after school until I found out K1 was coming on at 9. Now I'm going to be stuck watching a bunch of fights and some of them are probably fixed. For example, Hiroya's first fight was absolute garbage. I've been watching the kid fight since he was sixteen but this time he was against an American who was obviously throwing the match. They only went three rounds and in the last round the American cat wasn't even throwing a single punch. It's not like he thought he had the lead after losing it in the second round. I mean, any fighter who goes into a round knowing he is behind in points is going to try to make it up if he wants to win but this guy didn't' even try.
There was a really good knock out after that though so it's worth watching for that excitement. I kind of saw it coming though because it was a Japanese guy who was ripped like a beast against a skinny Thai guy. Yeah, the Thai guy knocked the big guy out. Surprised? I remember watching a movie once where that happened and the Thai fighter said that people fight for money just to eat in Thai so they are "hungrier" than other fighters. Now every time I see a Thai boxer step into a ring I expect them to win no matter what the size difference is because unlike the American guy who took a fall, you can't buy out someone who fights for food.
Ah, the "Japanese Killer" has a cool name. Dorago in katakana but I have no idea how it would really be spelled. The final match is on so I'm going to close this out and get ready for the early kanji studies tomorrow.
