100 years! It feels so much more recent...

Actually. I've never considered the show numbers. For some reason I thought it would be higher already than 100.
Glad they are still going though.

A question:
The LHS reserve bout Fernandes and Pugliese - the reserves fight one another to see who will be the reserve? Is that normal?

Looking forward to Wisse Boapeh but can't help feel it will get lost amongst 20 bouts.

This may have the most fights but these fighters fall way short of what we had in the past. Guys may have impressive records but it's vs very weak competition. I mean the fact that a guy like Khbabez fought for the HW title and is fighting for the LHW title is a joke he isn't very good despite what the commentator may tell you.

The sport has grown enormously compared to the K-1 era. And I'm not just talking about the angles. K-1 was a doping competition.

Khbabez is a force of nature. He was always exceptional, he beat Kryklia as "heavyweight". Not many understand the difference between LHW and HW in kickboxing. Khbabez is a relatively small heavyweight, I don't think he's even 184 cm. And Verhoeven, Plazibat, Adegbuyi and others are over 120 kilograms. Some maybe even 130.

Light heavyweights are at a high level today, STACKED, see what the cruiserweights looked like on It's Showtime, and outside of the Netherlands, these smaller heavyweights were just as weak.

Kickboxing's heavyweight doesn't have a limit. It's everything over 95. +95kg. Nabil weighs 150 kilograms. Bahram and Nechita are not heavyweights. There are also others who have such ambitions, to be in this tournament even though they are a bit small.

Maybe there are more people doing kickboxing but the top guys are better than what's out there now. Stefan Leko beats every HW around today. Yea because Rico is totally clean

Good but ever since K1 died I switched entirely to MMA, UFC in particular. K1 is just better. But yeah good card, I might buy the stream.
