K-1 MAX Masato vs Kraus 3 with Gabriel Varga Commentary

[@mmareviewer.2372]

For kickboxing I usually notice that the busier kicker that can keep it more technical and diverse while keeping their hands active enough and properly defensive almost always bags the fight. Another good breakdown my friend.

[@DotaHelm]

I just paused the video at 10 seconds to like and comment this after you said that LOL. Massive props.

[@southpawgrammer448]

Appreciate these fight breakdowns 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

I'm glad. I'll have more coming.

[@davebond7380]

Content is always so good thanks Gabe

[@app369]

Honest Gabe, I love your commentary on matches. Unrelated, do you wear headgear to spar? If so what brand/model do you prefer??

[@TheVoluntariast]

It was a great era, I was glad to see it in real time. Thanks for the breakdown.

[@Msj23244]

This is amazing thank you. More of the samee plzzz

[@afakkobyab5982]

Awesome content champ, thanks a lot ffor commentary!

[@elliottdaunois6697]

Thx a lot for this break down.

[@tombaker6277]

Great breakdown, thanks for content

[@DotaHelm]

Funny thing about Kraus is that I think he's one of the only fighters that actually fought way better at age. Old Kraus fights so relaxed and confident.

[@Msj23244]

This is amazing!! Any chance we can get breakdowns for recent k1 fighters.

[@Man-iy9jk]

Great technical breakdown. Could you please make a video on what makes Max Holloway so good or how to employ head-movement in kickboxing (the do's and don'ts). Much appreciated

[@mike2011989]

Minor details: Masato has another TKO loss from kohi , but by knees

[@THE_ODOUR7]

Nice video I don't even mind if you pause it more, rewind stuff etc idk how you watch this stuff but it doesn't bother me. I like seeing the fight through your eyes. Also wow always keep the hands up!!

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Noted. I will try and break things down a bit more in the future commentary videos.

[@artisukasem1026]

I would like to see Saenchai's breakdown. If you have time, please do it. I want to see how he set up his shots and defence

[@MrRETROPSY]

Masato looks just like Roo fi Oooou from Hook peter pan movie xD

[@punchpunchpass9735]

Left hand always works

[@paulphoenix8453]

Hey Gabriel what about fight Masato vs Serkan Yilmaz?

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

I haven't watched that in ages. I'll see if I can find it.

[@burningknuckle26]

Masatos hands are so god damn crisp

[@dmanzawsome]

As a child kickboxer I did 2 tournaments with 3 opponents. Soooooo in a way i have more experience than Varga......... ok totaly not but let me dream.

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Haha. It's always awesome having tournament experience. Kickboxing or otherwise. I remember doing point fighting karate tournaments years ago. Sometimes 10+ fights in the afternoon. Although they were no contact and probably took no more than 2 minutes for each opponent.

[@jimmywu4055]

Awesome breakdown, do you think they should of given Kraus the chance to recover and continue fighting? Personally I think Masato would've won this fight anyways, but it seems like K1 referees/judges are inconsistent with their decision making, often times favoring Masato. Masato is one of my fav kickboxers so no hate, but honestly curious on your opinion as a professional fighter.

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

I think it was a good time to stop the fight. The count was at 8-9 seconds and Kraus looked like he was moving slow when they waved it off.

[@MrRETROPSY]

When u said,ooh, thag one looked like... yeah it done some dmg he never really got back in time, you can see his footwork from the shot on was gone

[@restistance4387]

I wounder how well he would do against Liam Harrison?I believe there in the same weight class.

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Fighting Liam would be a good challenge. I would assume it would be boxing vs low kicks. Maybe we will meet in the future. We both fought in the GLORY 2013 8 man tournament but were on opposite sides of the bracket. Then when I became GLORY champion in 2015 Liam was no longer fighting for them.

[@Thecabbieintheyyj]

Sup gabe

[@CliffB70]

Masato lost the first fight to Kraus via decision not KO, Kraus has never knocked out Masato.

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Yes. My mistake. I hadn't rewatched the fight in a long time. Masato was never KO'd if I'm remembering correctly...aside from his TKO from Souwer in 2007 MAX final.

[@joelmiller1981]

Kraus never finished Masato. Please do your research first.

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Says that in the description. And at the beginning of the video. It's just been over a decade since I watched it so I mistaken about it until I thought "wait Masato was never KO'd by punches".
