Sweet, +3U on Aerts.

Good call.

Thanks. I was just surprised to see such steep odds, given their 2-2 history (with Aerts having the most recent win), and him getting the job done in less time earlier tonight, so he'd be a little fresher.

There was an awesome cut shot between those girls doing their cutesy routine switching to Overeem giving a "you gonna get raped" doom-stare.

Damn, I saw that he was +205 on Bookmaker to win the whole thing and almost bet it, but I don't fuck all about K-1 so I didn't.

I think Overeem had the easier side of the bracket. Still, grats to the 'Reem.

I was impressed with Spong. That kid looked pretty good.

Aerts looked like he had nothing left before the final.

Scientist, did you wind up betting anything?

Re: K-1 WGP Final 12/11

^^ nah. I never did make the bet.

I just now watched it, I DVR'd it.

Overeem definitely had an easy route... the only fight he had was that fight with SPong. He was getting his ass kicked by that 2nd guy, and that first head kick was a knockdown IMO. The 2nd fight the guy was injured obviously, and Aerts blew his wad against Schilt.

That said, Overeem hits like a truck and kicks like a mule. He looked like the least skilled of the bunch, but his power is ri-donk-ulous.

Anyway, good win, and he takes away at least $400k. No wonder he doesn't want to sign with UFC.

Re: K-1 WGP Final 12/11

From what I have seen, He is a decent fighter, but he is going to be at such a disadvantage because of his size. ( 6'0 about 215lbs).

This was dead on. I should have listened, once I saw them next to each other, it was obvious Schilt was going to clobber him.

Re: K-1 WGP Final 12/11

I don't buy into the whole "easy route" argument. Yeah the "only fight" he had was with Spong, but Spong is a beast, and that was a tough fight. Aerts only had "one fight" as well, and so did Saki. Kudos to Overeem for actually winning his fight without getting hurt. That's what a one-night tourney is about.

Real Talk, Those Leg kicks Ubereem hit Saki with were fuckin vicious.
