The sad part is that the 9/19 Yokohama card has much more potential than the K-1 show on 9/25 at Budokan. K-1 has sure fallen fast.

Edited my post, typo'd Kraus's name twice when it should have been Souwer.
I am interested in this show. Tournament should be competitive and has a good mix of fighters. Potential of Pulver vs. Souwer. Pulver has a shot at winning the tournament with his new side career in pro boxing.
Castro vs. Corbett looks good on paper, and they have yet to annouce who Doi is fighting.
