What a K-Max show!

I just got back from the K-Max finals, and I have to say that it was one of the best shows I have ever been to. Everyone was in top condition and they all wanted to win. It was like watching 7 finals and not a tournament. There were some real tuff fights and then there were some awesome K.O.'s, I almost wish that I had stayed at that weight back in the day so that I could have a chance at some of those guys in there...But it only took me 3 years from when I was 18 to 21 to gain 30 kg's that haven't come off since! I went from 72kg's to 102kg. That is about what I weigh today, so you can see it would be very hard for me to take my weight back down there. I honestly think it would be impossible, and even if I did make the weight I would not be able to do much. I guess that is enough of the fantasy dreaming, back to the fights. I am sure that someone will upload them on You-Tube, so just a wait a bit and then check it out. They have already aired the show in Japan, so you can see that they move very fast over here. Andy Souwer Vs. Masato in the final, it was just a tremendous fight. After having beaten Buakow in the first round his leg was smashed, but he still managed to take out the new kid Artur. And then in the final he was just technically out smarted, but that was only to be expected since everyone knew how badly he was hurt. I have not enjoyed a show this much since last time I fought myself! Well done everyone, I hope that there were no serious injuries to any of the fighters, because they all gave everything they had.

今日の試合は一言で言うと”素敵”、本当に全試合はすばらしかったです。この試合はやっぱり一番って言うのはなかったです、全部は決勝戦らしい戦いを見せてくれました。一回戦でマサト選手はブアカウ選手に勝ったときの会場は熱い！自分もダウンをとった瞬間大声で”オオ～！”を言いながら両手を上げました。でも、そこからは最後まで会場内の緊張感すばらしかったです。昔、日本に来日したとき７２ｋｇしかなかったです、それで軽量級の選手になるのは夢だった。。。それはたった３年で終わった、その７２kgから３０kgを体重アップして１０２ｋｇになりました。それから９７ｋｇを切ったことないです、何でその昔の軽量級の選手になる夢は絶対に無理だと思います。でも、今は１００kｇ以下のクラスが出来たので、自分はそれを目指したいと思います。しかし、もう一回やるんであれば軽いままでやってみたかったです。今日の選手には本当にお疲れ様でした、大きいなケガは無いように願います。
