This will be badass. Le Banner and Aerts are 2 of my all time favourite kickboxers. I even made a Le Banner HL

I wouldn't say its some foregone conclusion, KOICHI looked pretty damn good at the beginning of.the fight
The GP looks fantastic though. Noiri, Kubo, Amrani, and Harrison. Jesus, this going to be fucking good.

You're right about that! I'm just a huge JLB fan but anything can happen though.
I'm pumped for this show!

Now they've added top -63kg prospect Sun Hyun Lee x longtime K-1 vet Yoshihiro Sato.
And I didn't think they would top their London card.
Just wow.

Just saw the card last night, great event.
Production isn't as gaudy as prime K-1, but still really well done compared to last year. Ron Kruck was all kinds of awful, though. Utah Kubo? Really?
The Grand Prix certainly lived up the expectations. Kubo further proves why he's the best in the world at that weight, although it'll be interesting to see if he continues with his plan to move to 70kg.
Noiri x Amrani was a GREAT fight, tons of drama. Amrani looks world-class and i'd like to see a superfight with Kubo down the road. Noiri is without a doubt the second best featherweight in the world and once Kubo moves on, I can't help but see Noiri dominating the division for a long time, especially if he works on his striking defense. He's young enough to gradually move up in weight though, but he's fine where he's at right now.
Both heavyweight fights were extremely fun. LeBanner looked much better in the rematch but KOICHI still had his moments. Although he did get hit a lot, albeit against a naturally smaller opponent, the type of ferocity LeBanner showed is exactly the kind he needs to implement to still remain as an elite kickboxer. I still think he has a few good years left in him. Much respect to KOICHI, though. Tremendous bushido and I hope he gained a lot of fans after this fight. Best of luck to him in the cruiserweight grand prix.
Aerts x Ben Saddik was an absolute mess of a fight. Aerts is finally looking his age and regardless of the fantastic victory, i'd rather not see Aerts fight any longer beyond this year. It's actually kind of sad. The closing segment of the fight was all over the place but blame certainly falls on Ben Saddik for losing his concentration after the disputed self-stoppage. He's got plenty of potential and if he ever cleans up his technique, I could easily see him being a top five talent in the future. For now, he's this decade's Errol Zimmerman.
Lastly, great performance by Andy Ristie, although kudos certainly has to go to Kraus for hanging tough until the knockout. Ristie has an extremely crowd pleasing style and I hope to see more of him as much as possible. It's reckless and it won't win him many big fights, but he could be a superstar.
