T-Hill:
First I would like to say that it was nice hearing from you again. I know that there was more than 4 days between Andy Hug's against CroCop and Nubo. I was to quick - I am sorry!
I agree with you T-Hill. Andy always prepared himself 100%, mentally and physically. As I was writing in message above, Andy won all his fight by hard work, skills, spirit and an amazing technique. I also agree with you about nobody can always fight tough fights and only fight the best of the best. It would not be healthy, your career will get shot and finally, how funny is it to Andy Hug Vs Ernesto Hoost 6 times a year?
No, the Japanese never got Andy in the K-1. It was only Satake who defeated Andy Hug in Seido karate, and that was back in 1993 at the Seido World Cup. It was a fight that Andy Hug controlled from start to finish, Andy even sent Satake down with an axe-kick. But Andy Hug lost the fight on braking boards/tameshiwari after four rounds of fighting. But Andy got his revenge at the K-1 Star Wars in 1996 and at the K-1 GP in 1997.
(Matsui also defeated Andy at the 4th World Open tournament in Kyokushin karate back in 1987, but this has nothing to do with the K-1)
