Gago Drago &
Yoshihiro Sato vs Drago
HyeFighter Giorgio Petrosyan vs Dzhabar Askerov
Held at the Fukuoka Marine Messe arena, the talent-rich extravaganza featured the World Max Final-16 Tournament -- a one-match elimination that halved the field fighting for this year's World Max Championship. The world's top70kg/154kg fighters stepped in knowing that a win would set them on the road to glory, and a loss deposit them in the ditch of also-rans. For these warriors, it was do or die.
Drago defeats Sato the heavy favorite, Sato brought a 10cm/4" height advantage to the ring against Drago. From the start the Japanese kickboxer used his reach and low kicks to keep his opponent at bay. But the Armenian got a right overhand through and closed with an uppercut, and the cards had it even after one. In the second Sato arched forward with fists, but Drago answered with front kicks and got a terrific high kick up and on target. Sato threw plenty of low kicks and made partial contact with a knee to keep the score tied. There was not a lot behind Sato's combinations in the third, but the Japanese fighter continued to advance and fire low kicks and knees. Drago landed a couple of solid hooks, but could not drop Sato, and after three the judges agreed on extra tiebreaker round.
The fourth and final round saw Drago doggedly advancing, firing all manner of strikes -- best of the bunch a right straight punch and a spinning back kick. Sato, who was tired, stumbling and bloodied, managed only a couple of anemic knees and low kicks, and at the final bell collapsed, painfully aware that the judges' decision would not go his way. An impressive performance by Drago, establishing him as a favorite for the World Max 2009 Championship.
"I am glad that I
showed a good fight and won in front of my
Japanese fans," said Drago afterward. "Sato was
strong, he's had really good fights recently,
and last year when he fought against Masato it
went to an extra round. However, it "I have never in my life had so much regret," said a dejected Sato in his post-fight interview. "I lost my stamina, in the middle of the fight I suddenly felt as if my hands became lead, like a devil had descended on me. Of course, it could be said that the reason for my loss was I received a lot of punches. But, I was in good shape and my condition was good before the fight, so I don't want to make any excuses for my loss."
HyeFighter muay thai hotshot Giorgo Petrosyan met Dzhabar "Chengiskhan" Askerov of the United Arab Emirates -- both men making their K-1 debuts.
The winners will reconvene at the K-1 World Max Final-8, set for July at the Nippon Budokan in Tokyo. 2 out of the 8 finalists (25%) is Armenian!!! GREAT SHOWING!!!

FUKUOKA,
Monday, April 21, 2009 -- A late flurry of fists
and feet earned HyeFighter muay thai fighter
Drago, 24, an upset victory over two-time World
Max Japan Champion Yoshihiro Sato in the Main
Event at the K-1 World Max 2009 World
Championship Tournament Final-16.
seemed that he got tired in the middle of the
fight. Now, I will do my best to become the
champion -- I will keep train training hard, and
let's see what happens!"
A
command performance by Petrosyan the southpaw,
who set well with the jab before firing in the
left, and made strong contact with low kicks and
knees to the body. The Armenian showed superior
positioning, timing and power throughout,
dropping Askerov in the third with a knee to the
midsection to win by TKO. "I think it was
a good fight, and my opponent was strong," said
Petrosyan afterward. "The start was difficult
but it was good that my knees eventually hit
him. I was happy I could win in front of
Japanese fans, and next time I will show even
better techniques! Everyone who has advanced to
the final eight is strong, however I believe I
am the strongest of them all!"
