on is a very long interview with peter aerts.

click on the link above and read the interview with the lumberjack on man-magazine.

hi dirk,

ı read the content and have a question ,since you might be better informed then me in holland :

"why has peter left chakuriki (mr thom harink) ?..some people (our friends in turkey /chakuriki piooneeer students ) say that pursuat to the leaving of harink, peter couldn't be k-1 champ again...ı do not think in this way, since mr harink couldn't create another champ again.(for example ,if ı am not mistaken mr.harink has given effort for another heavyweight "loyd", but was not successful...ı think that the others have improved the quality and that was the end of the chakuriki's domination...)
so ,what are your comments in this frame?..
thanks,

Peter left Thom Harink because Thom was skimming $$$ off the top of Peter's purses!!!

nice pics but didn't peter lose the lebanner fight?

i might agree with mike. it was just a case of supply and demand. one thought he could get more money for the same service while the other thought he could get the same service for less money. they disagreed, they split.

mike by "skimming" do you mean that theft was involved.

hi felix,is this a better one ?
1994 k-1 peter aerts vs rob van esdonk

i'm surprised esdonk isn't still around. he used to really make the k-1 look dangerous.

Hi Dirk.

One of Peter Aerts biggest inspirations is your private friend Peter Smith, the former Kyokushin and kickboxing champion. Do you have any pictures of Peter Aerts and Peter Smith together?

Have a nice day Dirk and please say hello to Bryan and Annemarie from me.... Always TCB from Denmark!

Remember when Van Ensdonk was ko'ed by Andy!! Looked like a tree falling. No disrespect to the guy (he did fight the best) but that must have hurt the next day.

,,Which fighters have inspired you?
Branco and Peter Smit were some of my favorites,,
Yes,Oliver !! That's great to read !!!!
I have not a picture of Peter Aerts and Peter Smit together,but when Peter is back from holiday,i ask him for one.
When he read this he's very proud !! Peter Aerts have a very good taste,because Branco is also one of mine favorite fighters !!
Tcb from Holland !!!!! Oliver !!

hi ercan,
i don't know where frank lobman now live. yes he was a great fighter with excellent boxing techniques and very hard lowkicks !! his three fights with peter aerts are real classics.
