best K-1 and kickboxing fights ever

[czarnowskilukas]

Hey guys, I have idea. Good for me - young kickboxing fan, but for others too.
What if we start thead with BEST OF THE BEST K-1 fights ever?
I try to watch one or two fights per day, but sometimes I have problem with finding what is worth attention.
In your opinion of course.

Let me start with this one. Tribute for the retiring legend and returning Doctor

n't K-1 but if you haven't seen the rufus / thai fight it's required reading... ah, watching... great fight and that.

The 2002 and 2003 max finals were my favorite events of all time. Buakaw had to show up and ruin everything!

 

[Jarilo]

All k-1 events from 1995 to 2001 are worth of watching ,very good fighters , probably best hw in all k-1 history.

Some fights :
Peter Aerts vs Jerome le Banner

Jerome le banner vs Ernesto hoost

For me Hoost is the best, best timming & tehnique , he did not put everythink on speed and power.
