Liver shots will drop most people... doesn't matter who you are. A liver shot like the one Schilt deliver to Hunt would kill the average person.

Yes, yes! Schilt's kicks could kill a horse, and have, I have seen this done!

www.mmaweekly.com has the scoop, look for headline, "Schilt's Kicks Kill Horse". This article is the reason Cro Cop dodged a fight with him!

Does anyone have any thoughts on Hunts 125KG weight displayed before the fight?
Bare in mind Hunt is only 5'10. He is rotund, that's just his body type, he'll never look like GSP. He was definately only 125 kg.

Anyone saying he was bigger than before needs to go look at some old tapes, he's ceratinly lost weight no doubt.

I thought Semmy was was looking quite portly myself.

Good win by Semmy though, he deserves more credit.

K-1 aren't always accurate with their fighter weights (they don't have to be), they often announce one weight and display a different on one screen.

I've argued with people before who think its beyond impossible for Hunt to make 265 when he's fought very close to that limit for a great deal of his career without any need to cut.

Edit: And anyone who calls Hunt a wuss for going down from a spinning back kick (one of the most damaging kicks there are) from Schilt (one of the biggest guys in K-1) is a fool.

hunt looked tiny compared to Schilt

about 1 foot height difference looked about right but weight wise; to me, it looked like a whole lot more than 25 pounds difference.

the only thing that puzzled me and maybe I need to watch the fight again is that Mark was going for the superman punches and not going to the body or trying to take Semmy's legs out from under him.

but hey he got in there and fought like the warrior he is, maybe he just didn't have the best game plan or was unable to stick with it or had an off night?

so i don't think he looked like a wuss, at all; he's got heart and skills and is one of my favorites i was hurt by the loss as a fan, but Semmy is a friggin' monster and as above replies mention he was outmatched on this occasion.

the real question is, who can take schilt?

It's Schilt and Hunt even said he kicks like a horse. I believe him. He wasn't really given the chance to battle. He did go for the overhand.
