K-1 Max Final Four night!!

So here is the main fight card for tonight's K-1 Max 2007 - 2008 finale. The Final Four fighters battling to take out the crown is Masato, Sato, Souwer and Kyshenko. I'm very annoyed that I haven't been able to convince any bars or clubs around to buy the ppv so I'm going to ahve to wait for the download to be available from the internet. The event should be starting 8pm Japan time. Here's my analysis of the Final Four match ups.

Masato vs Sato

Masato is the poster boy for K-1 Max. His good looks and legit fighting skills is the main and original reason why the vast majority of K-1 Max fans are young women. In fact the reason why this year they're broken down the series into three part series is to help make sure Masato get through into the finals unscathed to win the series! Masato is said to possess the best hands in K-1, with some even saying he should be a pro boxer. Sato on the other hand is the quiet hardworking achiever. He's come back from a KO revenge win against Buakaw which shows how far he has come since his Muay Thai days. Sato is tough! He always seem to follow whatever strategy and plan that have been set out. It's hard to tell who will come out on top with this one. My spirit is for Sato but my brains say that Masato still has a slight edge and will come out on top.

Andy Souwer vs Artur Kyshenko

Any of the Final Four fighters have the goods to win the series but if I have to put my money on the one fighter, it'll be Andy Souwer. He's been the K-1 Max champion twice now and still look hungry to win it again for the third time. I think he will win against the finals inexperienced Artur Kyshenko, whow as KOed last year in the semis by Masato despite starting well. Andy is a shrewd fighter, always taking full advantage of the rules and situation to his advantage. He's got great punch kick combos, always returning any attacks and seem to always get stronger during the match. Kyshenko is one of the more Muay Thai stylist in K-1 but he seems to have adapted very well in the K-1 game. He's known for his low kicks, body rips and usually have a reach advantage but I think still lack the experience needed to win over a wily veteran opponent like Souwer. Souwer is my choice to win this one and take out the K-1 Max crown for the third time!
