Anyway, new format or not, I am expecting Souwer and Buakaw to meet in the final round again this year.  |
Probably not, but who cares. It's obvious K-1 shows favoritism towards Japanese fighters, and Masato in particular, but IMO, they do not go overboard, and Masato has proven himself to be an elite fighter and a warrior. I'd pick souwer & buakaw as well, if not for the fact that BPP is facing sato in the first round.
