Thanks for the post John. Your post proves the adage “never box a boxer”.

Wow, this really shows the power of some well placed kicks and how to stay with a game plan. One time I sparred with a boxer after a few drinks and noticed he did not respect my hands… I’d throw a back-knuckle, counter punch and pay for it with hooks… on the third attack I fake, back-knuckled, shuffle rear kick… he did not see that coming. Great video and interesting posts.

I remember that fight. I was very strange on Hoost’s part. It was like he’s ego told him he wanted to win punching Sapp out or something. I’ll have to look for the video of it on youtube.

This kinds of reminds me of the second Sapp VS Hoost fight in the 2002 K-1 World Finals, except in the opposite way. In the first part of the fight Hoost was nailing Sapp with leg kicks and you could see that it was taking it’s toll, then Hoost all of a sudden decided her was going to punch it out with Sapp. Bad move on Hoost’s part because it was called when Sapp got a hold of him and just started pounding. The funny thing is Sapp broke his hand and Hoost was the one that advanced and ended up winning the whole tournament.
