    The best hands i;ve ever seen in K1 were from masato. I think he would have done okay in boxing. He had a separate pure boxing coach as well as kickboxing coach \

        i assume you're just joking but if not then if he lacks that control he'd never make a good boxer as control is crucial (and i don't just mean the control not to kick!)

          Damn Brother N training Hari? Awesome. Hari is a bit old though, hopefully he does well, he's entertaining and is a nice addition to the heavyweights. Bring on Shannon Briggs!

            He's actually only 27 years old.

              If he had a better chin I would be excited.

              Still, he is an interesting prospect and he seems to have legit power. But like i said, he's been hurt by jabs, so we will see.

                One thing about Hari is that he really loves the boxing game. He doesn't watch kickboxing and despises MMA, but anytime you hear him talking about boxing you can see that he has a real passion for it.

                  Agreed. Actually, most of the top K-1 MAXers had very respectable punching skills. Souwer was a technically crisp puncher with excellent combinations and timing. Zambo had a wicked leaping left hook and a vicious overhand right. Not much of a pure boxer, but incredible explosivity for such a small guy.

                  Would have loved to have seen Masato in boxing but the dude was made for K-1. Legendary fighter.

                    No.

                    K-1 is fun, but those guys have some serious flaws and it's not like Vitali would be a fish out water with some cross-training.

                    Take the K-1 GP finals in 2009, guys getting dropped by jabs.
