Have You Seen This? Legends Collide (Rico v Saki)

Have you seen this controversial battle between Rico Verhoeven and Gokhan Saki?

[@tabchan8107]

People need to respect saki more he was so small compared to these big giants. And still he gave them all a hard fight and winning most of the time.

[@XX-cv6fq]

If you don't respect Saki you don't respect kickboxing

[@jay71512]

I'm pretty sure saki is a very respected fighter!

[@peacemaker2988]

no body disrespects SAKI he is one of the LEGENEDS of this kick boxing no one can deny that bro...

[@randymuaythai492]

Exactly. All his opponent are taller and I think it's heavier than him. 10kg weight gap is matter when you both in the same skill levels

[@marsmellow1589]

The current crop is absolute a disaster. Andy Hug would have eaten Verhoeven for breakfast.

[@neone4759]

I still rate Saki as all time most Aggressive Kickboxer of World. People always loves his style , So fast and furious

[@WildAnatolia-3-6-9]

Bu maçı izledikten sonra bu organizasyonun neden küçüldüğünü daha iyi anlıyorum. Hile ve rüşvetle maçı sakinden çaldılar. Haksız rekabet küçülmeyi getirir. Ufc de bu tür hakem satın almalar yapamazsınız.

Saki did come from the (old)gneration in K1 where he was with much better fighters .Rico is overestimated and finaly has an oponenent that has maintained a high level altho is over his top.says all about todays level.

[@ardamuratoglu5656]

saki is turkish power

[@mansonslaughterer]

@@sandergoutier8449 agree, K1 level was higher, yet you can win either via KO or points, and hands down, Rico is the most technical fighter, able to adapt to opponents very well.

[@davebrazz4506]

Saki's what? Lol 😂

[@KyGun]

Saki did well for fighting a man way bigger than him. The knock down lost him the fight. Wasn't even a knock down. He was off balance and was pushed in the shoulder. Saki got robbed. The fight game sucks. Who would ever want to do this for a living just to get robbed.

[@marsmellow1589]

Kicking Verhoeven when he was facing back didnt help either. Thats very dirty. The exact opposite of what verhoeven did when Saki slipped in the ropes seconds earlier. Guess just how sand rat people are when they can`t win.

[@a.a.2108]

Saki was the winner, IMHO

@@crazyjoe9337 lol deserve the win? All 3 rounds saki was better. How can you deserve a win if the other one is better?

[@greedygreed6599]

What fight did you watch? Better all 3 rounds? Even the commentators were saying Rico was better in the 1st and he was way better in the 3rd while Saki was sucking in air. Saki rips nice combinations and they look pretty but they're almost all entirely to the gloves and guard in this fight and waste alot of energy meanwhile Rico was landing clean straight power punches through the guard and beating up his arms, body and legs with kicks.

[@Lizzio1980]

@@greedygreed6599 go re-watch the match, when I saw the match first time I had the same opinion

[@greedygreed6599]

@@Lizzio1980 I've seen this fight multiple times and it's exactly how they scored it, 1 and 3 for Rico and round 2 for Saki. Round 2 was the only time Sakis combinations actually got through because he was able to get Rico against the ring but in the other two rounds he was hitting nothing but air and the guard compared to Rico punching right through his with straight shots and stifling his agression with leg and body kicks. That's the problem with Sakis style, throwing nothing but hooks in a combination against a technically sound defensive fighter with these big gloves, they're either going to hit the gloves or bounce off completely. He was competitive in the 1st round but even the commentators said he lost even without the sketchy knockdown, he definitely took the 2nd round but he got completely chewed up in the 3rd and was exhausted, his looking for big shots is what cost him this fight. He got tired and even when they did land he was hitting guard 80% of the time, you compare that to everything Rico was landing which all got counted as significant strikes because he picked his shots instead of swinging them not to mention he outlanded Saki by double in rounds 1 and 3 its a very clear decision.

[@hiddefeenstra2443]

Wow Saki really show big skills and power against the Giant Rico. KO call was bullshit and was causing bad influence on the points. Respect to Saki for that fight

[@inakicaubet]

I gave it to Rico, based on volume. Saki was completely gassed in the third. But props to him, he's always been a giant killer. Can't still believe they were considered in the same weight class. It takes balls

Watching this two times. From beginning to the end. Saki opened every round very offensive and forced Rico into deep defense. The only short situation when Saki was pushed (not hit) and he touched to the ground was controversial. The rest of the battle was Saki's good offense that in my opinion leaded him to the winning. But this "glory" is all about money so....yeah.

[@Souleman561]

The thing about Saki is he has the opposite mentality of a Rico on terms of fighting , Saki let's his fighting conditioning/training determine the best body type for the style he uses, Rico is much more about bigger is better , but a smaller man techincal will always have the slightest of bit faster reflexes as there is less mass to more...... Saki is a legend becusee of the way he trains and the way he Carrie's himself in the ring, he is a small guy for hw competitions but his heart and raw fighting style makes up for the weight which is clearly evidence in the fight here
