Ahhhhh shit, this is gonna be a ridiculously good fight. Petrosyan is tryin to take out all the max guys. First Stevelmans, now Souwer, and then Artur, that is a crazy schedule. I think I may have to pick Petrosyan but I don't know, Andy looked good at his shootbox fights.

PS. Artur won a fight a week ago by KO.

That's what makes it tough, Petrosyan is becoming a beast himself. Dude went 5 rounds with Buakaw and got a draw. And Petrosyan just dominated Stevelmans in his last fight.

This is just gonna be a really good fight that could go either way. The next Max tourny is gonna be sick if they can get all these guys in.

Word to that.

I wouldn't doubt if all these guys are actually in it. I mean, there's plenty of room in the openning rounds, so Im sure they could always slot these guys in.

Plus, Giorgios should have a good showing at the EuroGP, if not win it. Plus, and Im praying really hard here, Hiroya could get his ass in there too!

I'm taking Petrosyan in all of these fights.

I was so impressed by his last performance.

I'm thinking Andy is going to take this fight because the biggest thing that Giorgio relies on is no one being able to really hit him. Andy puts punches and kicks together better than probably anyone so I think he will be able to catch Giorgio, may not stop him but catch him enough to win on points.

Should be a great fight though, no matter who wins.

Nothing really major. Silvia 
La Notte/Alice 
Caligiuri is on the card and they are continuing the Italy vs Holland theme, they are going to have 4 fights for that. Giorgio's brother is supposed to be on the card.

Updated with more of the card.

I spent a lot of time yesterday watching Andy and the guy is sick his punches and kicks just fit together great and he can put guys away with either or his knees.

I'm going to watch some Giorgio today to get a better picture of this fight.

You should find Giorgio's fights but some use his real name Gevorg.

Also in case you didn't see these, here are Souwer's last three fights at the ShootBoxing championships.

Thanks for the videos I had seen the first one but not the other 2.

I don't know anything about the guys he fought but he really owned them.

The guy that Andy beat in the final, Ogata, was actually the last guy to beat Andy since 06 (before the fight with Atur obviously) and he beat him in the final of the Shoot Boxing Championship in 06.

They only hold the Championship event every 2 years.

Ahhh man, Ogata is such a warrior. Even though I like Souwer, I can't help but feel for Ogata.

You should like Shoot Boxing since they allow standing submissions.

Which that grappling is fine with me since it always stays on the feet.
 
#17 ·
Yea I was confused by the rules for a bit when i saw Azeredo submit his first opponent but I caught on after a bit.

So far I've seen a lot of Souwer and from what I've seen I'm real impressed the guy is amazing to watch.

vs Buakaw

Don't know much about MAX but Souwer is my favorite and I'm looking forward to this.
 
#21 ·
Giorgio looks to be good but I don't see him beating Andy since Andy's problem IMO comes only when a guy can really out score him with kicks like Artur did. I don't see Giorgio being able to do that.
 
#23 ·
Can't wait to catch this fight.

Updated the fight card
 
#24 ·
Yeah, and all the better for being live on Setanta:)

Man Utd/Liverpool, Souwer/Petrosyan, Khan/Barrera and party makes this a neat Saturday.

Nice I didn't know Cosmo was fighting on this card and now that I know who he is and that he's training with Dida I'm pumped to see him fight.

I'm really excited for Souwer vs Giorgio Souwer is so fun to watch.

Decided I'll take Andy, Giorgio didn't look too hot in his last fight but I expect him to bring it against Andy.
