Could someone please explain to me why the Japanese cannot be referred to as 'Japs'. I have always called them 'Japs' and it is not meant to be racist or derrogatory, just an abbreviation. It's like calling the British 'Brits' or Thailanders 'Thais'.

Afterall it's not what is said is how it said and the intent behind it.

On the subject, I thought Buakouw would have dispatched Kraus easily, he didnt and Kraus went four rounds with him. If it was a Thai fight, Buakouw would have won, but it wasn't and Kraus was awarded the fight. Good luck to him, I underestimated him. Anyone who goes four rounds with him deserves at least a Blue Peter badge.

On another note, the only reason that Buakouw is fighting K1 is the money. If he has trained all his short life and had around 200 fights using thai rules at a lower weight, then switches style, rules and weight to obtain more money, then it is going to be more difficult, as his best moves will not score as highly (kicks, knees) as well as taking his best weapons away from him (Grapple, Elbows). I do not blame him for taking the money route, but there is consequences in doing so.

Despite the loss, I still rate him as the best pound for pound stand up fighter in the world.

On the other side of things, the Japanese way of scoring has to be questioned again and I think we need some clarity. The standard of decisions in Japan recently has raised more than an eyebrow.
