Interesting.. FujiTV is presenting tonight's K-1.
Coming up:
Jan Nortje vs Mighty Mo (Semifinal 1)
Looks to be a total slugfest
Heh, Bruce Buffer just called it the K-1 World Grand Prix 2006 again.
RD1:
Mighty Mo gets a HUGE reception from the crowd. Mo lands a hard low kick, rushing in towards Nortje, taking a few blows on the way while leaving nothing in return. Mo lands a few more low kicks. The crowd is chanting Mighty Mo.. not a quiet one in the arena. 1:40 Jan Nortje starts wobbling as if his legs are already feeling the damage from Mo's lowkicks and Mo takes advantage and lands quite a few blows before Nortje is able to recover.. right as Nortje thinks he has recovered, Mo lands a superman punch in conjunction with a sweep kick to the knee (hard to explain) and gets a down on Nortje.. Nortje answers the call but is obviousl already damaged, gassing, and holding his hands at his waist more times than not. Round ends with a questionably late knee by Nortje.
RD2:
2:35 Nortje lands a blow on Mo, Mo seemed jolted but quickly recovers. Nortje is using his reach to his advantage and taking jab after jab attempt at Mo any time Mo attempts to advance. Mo goes back to the leg kicks and opens up Nortjes defenses, knocking Nortje out cold with a right hook at around the 1 minute mark, give or take. Mo, barring injuries, moves on to the K-1 Hawaii Grand Prix finals. Nortje is still on the ground as Mo exits.. the knockout was so fast and sudden it looked just like Mighty Mo vs Hong-Man Choi from earlier this year. Mo has been very impressive this year.
Coming up: Patrick Barry vs Alexandr Pitchkounov (Semifinal 2)
