[Bushi]

DO we know what time it will be screening ???

[sniper]

sorry i am in nz so have not been keeping up to speed with what is going on but i thought the entire 8 man was not going to happen on the one date??? has this all changed now??
voice you gave me the two dates on another thread just a few days ago

[Voice]

That is correct Snip, this Mainevent program is the K1 Max Final 8 quarterfinal + superfights.
The semis and final (+ superfights) will be on Oct 1 so there is a good chance you will get 2 Mainevents this year.

[admin]

Let`s all get behind K-1 MAX Final 8 on July 7... if the buys are good we`ll get MORE Max on Main Event ;)

Michael Schiavello

[ChrisQ]

[Axekick157]

Hi Michael,

The event is not listed on the Main Event website, is there any reason for this or am I not looking right?

[MichaelSchiavello]

No reason, it just isnt listed yet. But you can book it now through Austar or Optus, and 3 days prior to the event through Foxtel.

Will be a WICKED event!!! Cant wait!!!

[Axekick157]

Thanks for this Michael...

I am trying to organise a local pub to screen the event... Fingers Crossed.

If all goes well I will post the venue and location

[nolimits]

does anyone know what time it will be broadcast?

[MichaelSchiavello]

Live at 7pm, Monday July 7

Dont miss it, the buzz is huge.

"The Voice" Michael Schiavello

[shaunw]

austar fixed the problem with ordering online.

ordered mine!!!! cant wait.

[Dour]

Its a bit sad, but I dont have Foxtel. Couldnt justify it financially. But this was too huge to pass up. Ive had to commit the ultimate sacrifice. Ive had to... *gasp* order it at my mothers place!
O.o;;

So yeah, she gets a visit, I get K-1 Max Live at 5pm in perth! Sweeeet! We both win.

Especially me. I cant wait.

[sasha_li]

To me Andy Souwer is the anti-hero.I just can't back him.From his shootboxing backround to those stupid tights.But i cant deny his skill so if he wins the max this year i will bow my head and admit he's the best in the world pound for pound.

[MichaelSchiavello]

Andy's background is actually Muay Thai. He got his break in Japan by being invited to compete in S-Cup(shootboxing) and winning it and making his name, so as a tribute to Shootboxing that launched him big, he wears the Shootboxing pants. But he is a Muay Thai fighter with the great Andree Mannaart (Mejiro Gym) in his corner.

Can Stevelmans pull the upset? We'll see in a few days.

You have to be GAGGIN on that BS result with Zambo, what fight are the judges watching.
Zambo had every round in my books.

[pahos69]

Kraus hanging on the bluddy clintch costed Mike a cut to the left eye.
F*&^% furious on that one.

[DazMon]

Hey Paris, you were the only one with some feedback about this show.
Actually I thought Kraus fought smart, he obviously changed his style to suit, and was prepared for a hard fight. Those sporadic high knees worked a treat, i wouldnt call them muay thai knees, they were just knees. Shiv was too excited about Zambo's big punches and flying knees to notice that Kraus looked 100% after every round, maybe the 2 'drawn' judges were wrong but the end result was what he was looking for. I think the clinch rules are very specific and he flouted them and got away with it every time but the end result was that Zambo looked a mess and any future opponents will think twice about mixing it with Kraus.
