Battle of the two most boxing orientated fighters in K-1 Max. This is a K-1 super match, meaning that it's a one off and not part of the tournament series. Both fighters lost their tournament matches and out of the running. However K-1 likes to do super matches to fill up the spots in their events with fighters who they think is exciting, worthwhile to watch, came off a close loss, etc.
Albert Kraus used to be almost exclusively all hands but in recent matches he seemed to be more varied in his attacks. I think he must have realised he is getting a liitle one dimensional hence his recent lack of success.In this match he uses his knees to good effect. Zambidis does his usual stuff, lots of hooks and overhands. I like Zambidis's punching style which I think is awesome but I wish he would learn to fight in the Thai clinch. K-1 doesn't allow full Muay Thai style clinches but there are still guys out there like Sato and Souwer who can exploit the clinch rules very well.
