Semi-final robbery in K-1 MAX GP???? (spoilers inside)

Anything think that Zambidis beat Petrosyan?

Keep this thread clean, just opinions. They're both great fighters.

Just asking, as people (elsewhere) are already seeming to taint Petrosyan's 2nd consecutive K-1 MAX Grand Prix championship.... claiming he shouldn't have been in the final

Well that stupid channel cut off the first round, I gave the second to Zambids and the 3rd to Petro. I didn't even get to see the first round or the DRAGO VS kamal fight. Next time FEG needs to work shit out with HDNET and get us a live English stream that shows ALL of the fights. No tape delay.

i think zambo must be used to it by now
sad part is this was really his best chance to win it and to once again lose controversially he must be considering whether he should bother anymore

minimum extension round, but with the knockdown who knows

lol, the Guy Mezger of K-1 MAX

"The Knockdown" - that's it my man

I heard Zambids got whooped in the first round, if that was the case it's 2 rounds for Petro, and he is the winner even if they count the Knock down. Night night!

well need to see the whole fight anyway to make a proper call but even then
10-9
8 -10
10-9
extra round?

if zambo v chahid got an extra round, then this deserved one too

I wouldn't have minded seeing an extra round. I only got to see 2 rounds, both won a round to me.

My piece on IronForgesIron, yesterday

I'm going to reserve judgement till I see all 3 rounds in HD. I saw the 2&3 rd on two seperate streams. The first was grainy as fuck and it looked like Giorgio was getting battered. The second stream was better, it seemed that a lot of Zambo's shots were air bombs.

the fact that its even being talked about in this manner shows that an extra round was needed.. seems that if zambo doesnt get the ko it always goes to an extra round

It was controvercial, but its not like Zambo won HANDS DOWN. He gave Petro a very tough fight.

Bang on

I had it like this :

1. Petro
2. Zambo
3. Petro

All 10-9's. But I'd have been fine with someone scoring the third a draw, and wanting a fourth.

Hopefully we'll get a rematch next year, even with the loss Zambo's had quite the career resurgence.
