What would be some good matchups for the Max finals?

Firstly, what has become of the K-1 forum? Has it been reduced to threads about Canadian WKA Golden Gloves and Carter Williams articles? Anywayz, who do you guys see getting paired up in the first round of the Max finals? Let me start by who wont be paired up, Masato against anyone who might beat him. I see K-1 sacrificing Kalakoda,Kraus, or Kohi to Masato.

Very smart. You realize by exposing yourself that moderators can easily track your original account and ban this one also (unless ofcourse you're covering your tracks with proxies etc, but somehow I doubt that).

Ontopic. The matchups are already made:

Drago vs Kraus
Buakaw vs Sato

Masato vs Souwer
Kohi vs Virgil

As mentionned before the matchups are already set suppossedly. Of course nothing in life is ever 100% but usually these rumors tend to turn out to be true anyway.

Also as for the Masato thing, Kalakoda, Kraus, and Kohi are definitely not the sacrificial types. Kraus and Kohi HAVE actually beaten Masato. Sure Kohi's win is less relevant nowadays, but Kraus' victory isn't as it was only a few years ago and since then every time the two have tussled it has been extremely competitive. Besides if the whole "protect Masato" thing was true as far as tournament matchups were concerned, then he would have never been paired with Zambidis in the first round twice.

I think the final we're gonna see is Buakaw vs. Masato. Buakaw is gonna beat Sato and Kraus on his way and Masato is gonna beat Souwer and Virgil. I think Buakaw vs. Masato 2 would be a pretty interesting fight, it's hard to pick Masato after the beating Buakaw laid on him the first time but there's no way it will be that one sided this time. Masato has a really crisp all around style and has definately worked on fighting against Buakaws style since that humilating beating, I think if they meet again Masato is gonna take a close decision. For the record I am rooting for Buakaw to roll all over the tournament again.

Edit: I hope Souwer gets crushed by Masato, the guy just bugs me- especially his pants.
