Kakuto Fan Radio #8 The Panel vs. CKO

[hudsonhawk]

If you¡Çve been on a forum that even casually refers to kickboxing, you¡Çve probably seen Central Kickboxing Organization¡Çs (CKO) Felix LaChance and his heavyweight ranking list of over 250 current fighters (check it out for yourself at http://www.centralkickboxing.org). It¡Çs a labor of love that inspires arguments wherever it¡Çs posted. Kakuto¡Çs Stacey Johnson and Max Crouch square off with Felix with a little of their own ¡Èverbal sparring¡É over the rankings plus discussions of who can take down 2005 Grand Prix champ Semmy Schilt and whether or not Akebono could and/or should return in 2006.

The show was ruined by discussing the nonsensical ranking system.

It's extremely rare for the top two fighters to meet in K-1 simply because there are no rankings in K-1 due to the Mickey Mouse way in which the company is run. The GP is THE pinnacle of K-1, there is no logical reason for not including results in the knockout stages other than to keep that fish faced, no talent jobber Musashi at #1. The only thing I enjoyed was Max continually slating Musashi and the bs officiating in Japan.

Yeah, we had a couple other people criticize the show for the same reasons. Ah well, you can't get it right everytime.

As always, thanks Mehdi for your feedback.
