K-1 Classics: Andy Hug vs. Masaaki Satake

Another Tetsujin fight!
This was a WKA World Muay-Thai Super Heavy Weight Championship match between Chapion Andy Hug vs. Satake Masaaki!
What a disappointing match because of Satake. The only thing exciting was Andy himself. Satake literally stalled and was plain dull that even the crowd booed him at the end.
But regardless this is still worth watching because of Andy's usual exciting style!
From: K-1 Star Wars 1996 - October 18th, 1996
Saa! Enjoii!!

[@gekiryudojo]

you don't get kicks like this in UFC. the guys are just not that good as Hug.

[@gekiryudojo]

+Elliot Mauricio Torres I understand where you are are coming from .what I am saying is that people cannot kick as well as him because they are not classically trained. MMA should have another name like WWA! it is turning into a mutation of Martial arts. and is only useful in a cage and suicide in a real fight, kicking like wrestling is an attribute and all attributes need constant training as there are degradable skills as I said in my first comment "you don't get kicks like this in UFC" and and one of the reasons is the short career in and low quality in training in kicks.

Tesshin ryū Dojo or because they’re scared of being wrestlefucked

[@devilkey6470]

Actually I've seen every kick this guy has thrown and more in the ufc. Also mma is arguably a more practical sport to be trained in to win a street fight as they train to fight from every position. Now I could agree that he is likely a superior striker than most mma fighters, but I would have to reiterate my point by staying that this is primarily due to the fact that he specializes in striking

[@pyrotechnick420]

@Semper Fi Hug had plenty of one punch knockout power, if you think he relied on his kicks to get the job done then maybe you've been watching the wrong fighter. Were talking about ANDY HUG the fucking goat

[@NameNotAlreadyTaken2]

Oh there was a time in UFC where you would. The 2000s, pretty much. I mean, Cung Le had a brief time in UFC, and I think he was a better kicker than Hug. An insanely fast kicker. But if you're talking about now, then probably yeah.

佐竹本当に才能のある選手だったのに無理させ過ぎたよな… もう少し試合数を少なくして無茶な試合を避けてあげればもっと結果を出していたかもしれない選手だったはず

[@honda4770]

95年のグランプリで、バンナに思いっきりどつかれてKO負けしたのと、蓄積が大きかったようですね。 この試合なんか、完全にパンチアイ（パンチにビビってしまう症状）になってるのか、全く積極性が無いですね。 時々気合を出して「来い！」と強がってますが、完全に体が動けていないです。残念極まりない試合ですね。 アンディは、余裕があるのか、胸を貸している状態ですね。 グランプリ97では、情け容赦無くKOされましたが。それだけ実力差がありましたね。

[@MrNori4649]

@@honda4770 しかも、この時にアンディ・フグと試合した時には バンナとの試合のダメージで長期離脱していた後での久々の試合でした からね。試合感覚が鈍っているので、余計にパンチやキックに対する 警戒心が強すぎて、積極的に攻め込めていない感がありましたよね。(>_

I really admire Andy Hug, but it's easy to think this fight was bought. Masaki barely moved. This looks more like a sparring session, like training, than a competition. I mean, I would have stoped the fight if I was the referee... That was clearly a TKO since the 2nd round. Andy was just playing.

[@trollgag5221]

Are you a referee in real?

@@trollgag5221 I just don't get your point, partner. It's obvious Masaki was unable to answer Hug's punches and kicks, rhe guy ate almost all of them. It's common sense, I say.

[@trollgag5221]

@@benjaminherrera884 i wasn't stating any point mate. I was curious when a fight takes place, what are the things that refrees look into, and at what point they decide to call it off. Because i have seen fights where the opponent was unable to stand and the refree didn't call out, and the guy eventually died.

[@ravedisc]

@ubersum1 exactly... he did learn tae kwon do... you see, he uses a lot of kicks... but still, he was a fighter with great feeling, his attacks had timing, speed, precision and power.

Hats off to Masaaki. Good counter offense, and anybody that went the distance against Andy Hug is a frigging stud! Amazing defense and counter attack at 3:30.

[@ballisticcranberrypeat7777]

Is it just me, or is that ring fucking gigantic?

[@jrs4516]

you don't see andy hug gassed very often. 5 rounds of throwing those flashy kicks is pretty brutal. he still had a little left though, impressive fitness. the other guy seemed like he went to the musashi "school of how to not get knocked out and walk away with narrow decision loss by not throwing anything".

[@SASTORM]

its really muay thai? I see they can´t grab the leg, no elbows, no clinch... but knees are allowed
