I think Badr Hari will get to the final against Bonjasky and win.

With daylight savings time, Japan is 17 hours ahead of PST. So, 5pm in Japan will be 12am PST in the US, 3am Eastern. At least that should be right.

well Japan's def a day ahead of the US.

as right now I type this it's 5:07 PM where im at

and in Yokohama it's Friday the 5th at 7:08 in the morning

12.6.08 5:00pm in Japan = 12.6.08 12am PST in the US.

Technically it is the same day because it starts at midnight here/evening there (It's 17 hours difference, hence not a full day).

well Japan's def a day ahead of the US.

Yeah it says so in Tokyo Drift.

I think Badr Hari will get to the final against Bonjasky and win.
I agree with that final but Bonjasky would beat him.

Does anyone know what channel it is on in the UK or Ireland

Nevermind.

it's on at 3 AM tom for us.

see ya'll then

Aerts by decision

Aerts and LeBanner meet in the finals and Aerts wins his fourth title.

I look forward to the world GP finals each year, but I've been so tired this week I completely forgot it was tonight. I was planning on going to sleep, but now I have to stay up all night watching the stream.

no 4th title for Aerts 0-4 on predictions ^

Final Hari vs Bonjasky

crazy crazy **** .. you gotta check a clip when get a chance

Bonjasky gets a knockdown in 1st round with a punch

round 2 .. Badr chasing Remy down, Remy goes down but while on the ground Badr throws a couple punches .. as the ref is pulling Badr away he flicks a kick and hits Bonjasky in the head

after a lot of turmoil and given a yellow card .. Badr Hari is disqualified.

Poor Bonjasky, people always hitting him on the ground.

lol.

Quick question. I probably know the answer to this, but just asking anyway to check.

for anyone who follows or watched K-1, you'll see some of the fights listed as a "Super Fight" so here's the question.

What is the exact definition of a Super Fight?

besides the title, is there any other special distinction? because to my knowledge a Super Fight is the same as any other K-1 fight .. having 3, three minute rounds

so is Super Fight just a special title, given for big names fighting each other .. or is there something else to it?

thanks.
