Any update on Giorgio Petrosyan?

It wasn't the promotor that chose the rules it was Petrosyan's camp...

Again...how is this anyone elses but the promoters problem? Nobody is forcing you to have Petro fight in your event. If you for whatever reason do want him, and his camp wants specific rules, you take it or leave it.
 
You're not gonna "leave it" when it's the #1 Kickboxer on the planet headlining an event that takes place in his home country of Italy...
 
That might very well be yeah, but that's the promoters choice. Really don't see the problem here.

A tinybit relevant part bolded.
 
Ya, I'm saying that I get why the promotor would host that fight on Petrosyans camps terms, it's the fact that his camp was requesting those terms when fighting on a card that's all FMT that makes you scratch your head.

In no way do I think Petro is overrated, but he definitely ducks FTR.
 
he also had the only k1 rules fight on the first or 2nd yokkao card

I wouldn't call him a nakmuay but I always thought that his rhythm, use of kicks/knees, focus on making every shot count made him closer to the Thais than to the the current batch of euro kickboxers. Just compare Gevorg vs Khem to Gevorg vs RVR.

He fights like a thai..southpaw,using his teep to keep opposition at bey scoring with bodykicks and as soon as they close in on him its a cross or a knee. He is using the area like a thai..his footwork and stance is thai..and whats more..If u can fight a prime Buakaw to a draw in a FMT wordtitle bout u are indeed a nakmuay.

I agree with your assessment of Petro's style, but the fight against Buakaw was modified Muay Thai rules. No elbows allowed in that fight.
 
Do we know if Petrosyan-Nonthanan fight is on youtube or anyone else has video of this fight?
