Is the next K-1 event New Years?

[TKRIS]

If it does nothing to slow his career, how does it really hurt him?
It's like Fedor's loss. It's counted as a loss, but everyone knows it wasn't really a loss. It's not like anyone thinks Kohsaka beat Fedor.
Jones will be treated the same as if he had won.

Hamill was a test for Jones. He's certainly a step up from Bonner and O'Brian. There was a real and legitimate threat there. Especially if Hamill had been able to really get his mitts on him and turn it into a wrestling match. Jones was the favorite, but it's not like this was a Japanese freakshow lopsided matchup.
Hamill was blocking most of the strikes until the illegal elbows. Mazagatti was having a close look at it because the situation warranted a close look. "Looking" like he was ready to stop it means nothing. He didn't stop it, because Hamill was doing enough to warrant letting it go. Until the illegal elbows. And those are why the fight was stopped.

If anyone wants to put a couple bucks down on whether or not this gets overturned, I'll happily take your money.

Predictions for this weekend?
Sanchez is going off at +340. That's insane, IMO. Would be a good time to get your money in. Obviously, BJ is the favorite, but Diego has a very, very legitimate shot. If you're the gamblin' type, I don't see how you could say "no" to +340.

[Str1der]

How do you place bets for these events?

[teknical]

Have to go through a bookie, or I think you can place bets over the phone?

Wow, yeah...

There are plenty of websites that do betting. Do a search for "Sports Betting Websites", there have been a few threads on them.

I think Diego has a very real chance to beat BJ. at least alot better of a chance then Florian did.

if only those betting websites would take my credit card, but my CC company blacklists these sites.

[TeamBestBud]

+340? Ill take those odds any day!

[TKRIS]

I don't gamble.
But if any of you win, feel free to PM me for my paypal so you can toss a couple bucks my way for the head's up.

Did anyone catch how Guida got that bloody? Watched a minute of the first, went to grab some snacks and drink and came back to see him bloodied the hell up for the second.

EDIT: What's up with Mike Pierce and the shades? Douche.
