How are K-1 WGP final 8 going to break down?

Who do you guys think is winning K-1 WGP this year?

I gotta go with Badr Hari, i'm not a huge fan, i was happy when Alistair beat him but I think he's going to see his hand raised if they fight again.

Hari vs. Overeem is one fight im looking forward to. In the end though Remy will beat Zimmerman, Schilt will beat a scrappy Le Banner, Overeem will take care of Teixiera and Badr ought to destory Karev like he has before..

so it will be Badr Hari trying to avenge a huge loss to Overeem for a champonship seat, all the while at the other end waiting after this glorious rematch could possibly be yet another one with Remy Bonjasky carrying much more implications concerning the K-1 Belt. The Championship.

At the very least if Hari defeats Overeem whom he lost to before, 3 Time K-1 Champion Semmy Schilt could be standing in his way of absolute victory.

It will never come to this though, Bonjasky will Finish Schilt with superior movements and severe body blows to bring Schilt down where he can be finished.

This leaves us a rematch of last year Badr Hari vs. Remy Bonjasky, Hari wants to prove he should be fighting as a defending champion right now, and Bonjasky wants to prove to everyone that he deserves the belt and to scratch out a bit of that blemish from last year. Unfortunately Bonjasky will let his guard down much to early in the fight when Hari comes out with a several hit combo in the first round with one of the attacks landing on the button and knocking Bonjasky out. (Much to my dissapointment)

I actually think Schilt is gonna win this. he drew a good matchup in the 1st with La Banner. I think Semmy will be able to beat Remy but that should be a good one. I see Hari also beating Overeem in the rematch. I think the 1st round matchup between Hari and Karaev is gonna be pretty good and wouldn't be totally surprised to see Karaev upset him.

Schilt and Hari are the favorites. Overeem and Bonjasky are live dogs. Everyone else are longshots imo.

schilt huge favorite. I can see him KO'ing lebanner with jabs in rnd 2, defeating bonjasky UD , defeating hari UD.

I'm gonna say Overeem. He has impressed me so much since coming to K-1. But I Wouldnt be suprised if Schilt won this though

Hari beat Semmy convincingly. I see the same result if they match up again. Hari looks scary confident right now, and I would bet on him to take it.

The heart says Hari, but the dark horse is Overeem. Semmy will be up there.

realistically, I see the final match being between Badr Hari and Bonjasky, but I hope Overeem wins it all. I could see Overeem repeating a KO on Badr.

While I think Semmy's the favorite with Badr not too far behind. I really think we're going to see Overeem v Bonjasky in the finals this year ... With Remy taking it via UD, even though I'd rather see Overeem take it ..

Personally I think the way the style matches will play out Hari will face and beat schilt in the final who will take out his nemesis bonjasky (who people seem to forgetting dropped hari before he flipped out)

Its difficult to make hari too much of a favourite with his chin though.

It was the surprising thing with Overeem in mma before he got roided up he punched like a wet noodle but then he destroyed Hari with his hands I seriously doubt he'll be able to replicate that.
