So, Joop Ubeda.. what do you think about that. Three knock-down rule is per round, not over the whole fight. Do you think Ubeda was told to make sure badr would win? And badr looked like he had his jaw broken. And last but not least, what is wrong with the trainer of Ismael? Everybody knows badr can not take a counter punch, why attack him without any defense? Amateur corner of Londt, he’s stronger, not as skilled but getting there and much more braver than hari. He could have one it, if he’d just countered everytime badr would attack.
It looks to me that Londt was able to continuing the fight therefore I don’t understand why the referee stop the fight in the way he did. Really unusual because Ubeda is a very good referee but in this case he may have a commitment.
I like very much Ubeda and Hari but don’t like at all when situations like this that are suspicious happen in the ring. Since both guys are retired should be better if they stay away from the ring from now on.
On the other hand, I saw Hari out of shape but still fighting well.
Ubeda is underdog referee!! always was and always will. Many times had stoped the fight without any “feeling” of the real situation. He’s an idiot
I don’t agree. I like him actually, always ‘no nonsense’ and he knows what martial arts is. But now I doubt his decision highly. It could be that he just followed the agreed rules of the fight. But I’ve never heard of a 3 knockdown rule over the whole fight, just per round. At least not in a K1 fight. And you know badr was finished. Did you see how beat he looked with his mouth open when the winner was announced? He’s going to the hospital and getting some wire for his jaw, it was busted and so was he.
I agree with you. I still like Ubeda since in my opinion is a referee that has a sound knowledge in Kickboxing but in this occasion I would say that his decision hasn’t common sense in order to avoid quoting any other negative comment that may imply things done against law.
I don’t know either of a 3 knockdown rule that applies to the full fight.
Regarding Hari, he was the best in the heavy weight category. However in this fight, in spite of his successful knockdons, I fully coincide with you he was beaten up by I guy with low experience and credentials. Therefore, he should restrain in the future to get in the ring again.
This fight reminds me about the retirement fight of Le Banner that occurred about 3 weeks ago with a very questionable result also.
some would call this a questionable stoppage. It wasnt questionable at all, I would love to hear the refs reasoning for the stoppage. Maybe he will have a politician tell it to us. That way we will already expect the LIE!
i still have no respect for hari because he pulled out from his fight aginst quarteron, one day before, he fought an inexperienced fighter instead. Ismael londt has an awful stance, he is almost like bob sapp they just think about throwing overhand without protecting their chins
