Riku, Rukiya, Hiroya are all expected to have near perfect techniques with the intensive training their dads put them through from when they could walk. But they end up with flawed striking and relatively weak chin.
How on earth does this happen?

Lots of parents push hard for their kids to become great at something, especially sports, and how many end up becoming that person? Not many. The odds are still against the kid in most cases regardless of the parents.

A weak chin is a weak chin. Not like the fathers guidance has anything to do with that.

I think its a bit early to write off the Riku and Rukiya. They're 8-0 and 11-3 and both on a decent streak when they're both pretty young. Riku's Krush champion and Rukiya's probably 2nd in line.

Hiroya on the other hand is so shot Masato was saying he needed to take time off in his last fight
 
I see. I guess I should not use Kubo/Noiri's career as a standard to judge them.

King of KNOCK OUT 61.5kg Tournament: Fukashi vs. Katsuji

King of KNOCK OUT 61.5kg Tournament: Taisan Maeguchi vs. Yuma Yamaguchi

King of KNOCK OUT 61.5kg Tournament: Hikaru Machida vs. DJ taiki

Yosuke Morii vs. Juan Mario Kaewsamrit

Eisaku Ogasawara vs. Wanchalong PKSenchaigym

Issei Ishii vs. Tatuya Noto

T-98 vs. Hiroto
 
I suspect DJ Taiki to win that tournament in very dominant fashion.

Also, T-98 bounces back after his title loss with a crushing preformance.

Juan Mario keeping that Kaewsamrit name alive.
 
I really like what K-1 has been doing should be a good card.
 
So this dude goes by Kongnapa but everyone thinks his his name is Gonnapar because that's how it sounds when the ring announcer says it?

Gonnapar is still a far cry from Gongnapa.

It's more like if people thought Fedor's name (or anyone who fights in Japan) was pronounced and spelled as Hyodo, because that's how it sounded in introductions.

A far cry if you say it with an english pronounciation but i can definitely see the names being pronounced the same.

So gonnapar weerasakrek is actually Kongnapa?

Funny you mention it, I was considering writing Kongnapa. Just like Keaw was called Geo in his early career, Kongnapa gets called Gonnapar. But since they don't seem to have intentions to change it might as well go with it.

Also Thai has no official romanized translation so Gonnapar is just as right or wrong as Kongnapa.

Yes, Keaw was Geo as well.
 
I suspect the k/g is actually an unaspired k, which will sound more like a g to people whose native language doesn't use aspiration to differentiate consonants.
 
K-1 has announced the line up for the first Welterweight World GP...and the level of fighters is not really spectacular...

You have
1)
A Nepalese fighter?? "Mohan Dragon" vs Daiki Watabe (Coming out of 4 straight defeats with a record of 22 wins 20 loses)
2)
Kazugi Yamagiwa (Who?) vs Melsik Baghdasaryan (Who used to be at Glendale Fight Club???)
3)
Hitoshi Tsukakoshi (Krush Champion) vs Han Wenbao (A prospect from WLF)
4)
The most notable match up is Minoru Kimora vs Yuta Kubo in the first round.

If Kaew beats Noiri, I would love to see him fight for the title against the winner of this tournament.
