youre not supposed to beat the Japs pete, cause you knocked him out you wont be allowed back, had you just given him an 8 count and took a loss on points youd probably be there fighting again 6 weeks later, all those poor fans had to see kohi stumbling out of the ring after having his head part company with his body!!
GO GET KRAUS and bully him!!
---------------------

you shouldn't refer to japanese as "japs" as you think you are above them,
because there isn't a english fighter who can even come close to beating masato, sato, otsuki...


there are also plenty of top "japs" who have never been given the chance to step into the k-1 arena, because they are not 'marketable', or not connected to the right people...
ONE of those is YOSHIHIRO SATO, who completely dominated and KOed peter crooke last yr in AJKF. sato cannot even get his foot into the k-1 door.


i was also there when peter crooke fought kohi in k-1 a few yrs back. and kohi was beating crooke very badly in every round UNTIL he got caught(with the one KO punch). it's more like if crooke had actually beaten kohi more soundly throughout the rounds, he would have been given a 2nd chance. kohi can be hot and cold, and is inconsistant at times and vs different styles. his will breaks down easily at the worst times.
kohi would never be be able to beat someone like sato, but for whatever reason he is k-1's choice. not a issue of skill.
