Any opinions on the interview on holmes of paul kingi(toa)?
I felt he seems like a good guy and has everything 2 gain from k-1, so good on him for giving it a crack.
The whole emphasis on fighting the beast though kinda just epitomised the whole k-1 move in japan to the beasts and it made it seem abit like pro wrestling(wwf).
I think it is really good for new zealand that we have another high profile fighter alongside ray sefo and mark hunt in japan.
However it makes me think that the more traditional type fighters are a bit hard done by, meaning........ray and mark trained for many years (as opposed to 10 weeks)to get where they are in japan and also the fighters aspiring to get to japan such as jason suttie and andrew peck etc work very hard to try and work there way to japan by winning regional tournaments etc.
All this aside paul is a good prospect and i wish him the best of luck, i also hope that this helps to promote k-1 in NZ.
Although 60mins have done a documentry on mark hunt i think that this feature on holmes tonight probably gathered quite abit of attention and it would be good to have a longer documentary highlighting ray and the others success in a sport that im sure will take off over the next few years in NZ.
I felt that holmes created a picture of k-1 that doesnt necessarily represent what it is all about and it would be good for people new to the sport to see the other side of k-1. Eg. not the beasts- i mean people such as ray, mark, ernesto, etc etc.
