K-1 World GP 2007 in Seoul: The Final 16 - DVD Review

With Eurosport continually failing to supply my regular fix of K-1 kickboxing action, I’ve once again decided to turn to a DVD release, courtesy of MMA Universe. So in this review we’ll be going back in time to 2007, and the K-1 World GP 2007 in Seoul: The Final 16, with sixteen men, among the likes of “Sugarfoot” Ray Sefo, “The Dutch Lumberjack” Peter Aerts, Semmy Schilt and the giant Hong Man Choi looking to move on to the final eight in Tokyo.

K-1 World Grand Prix Final on Eurosport - TV Review

My first review of 2009 sees us taking another trip to the world of K-1, as I take a look at British Eurosport’s end of year coverage of the K-1 Grand Prix final from Yokohama, Japan, with a new generation of fighters coming through to battle the old guard, and a very controversial end to the final. Will Vanders is, as always, there to provide commentary, and sadly, I’m having to start this review with some more criticism of Eurosport’s K-1 coverage.

K-1 World Max 2008 on Eurosport - TV Review

A little later than planned due to a thumb injury and a power cut this past Saturday, this edition of The Two Sheds Review sees me venturing into the stand-up world of K-1 again, with this year’s World Max final, broadcast on Eurosport this past Friday night as part of their Fight Club series.

It’s back! Having hardly been on British television screens for a year or so, Fight Club, and their coverage of K-1, returned to Eurosport this past Friday night, giving us coverage of last April’s Europe Grand Prix from Amsterdam.

K-1 Dynamite 2006 - DVD Review

So what do you get when combine mixed martial arts fights with those fought under K-1 kickboxing rules?

K-1 World GP Final 2006 - DVD Review

With Eurosport still failing to satisfy the needs of it’s K-1 and MMA fans, I’ve decided to take another look back at a past K-1 show. However, this time I won’t be reviewing a show I recorded off the television, this time I’ll be reviewing a DVD, the release of the K-1 World GP Final 2006, featuring the final eight man tournament to find the World GP Champion. The commentators for this one are Michael Schiavello and Mike Bernardo, so at least I won’t be getting constant comparisons between Pepsi and holy wine.

K-1 World Grand Prix Final 2005 - Retro Review

Seeing as how Eurosport is failing to feed my appetite for new K-1 shows, I’ve decided to delve into my personal archive, so for this edition we’re looking back at Eurosport’s coverage of the 2005 K-1 World Grand Prix Final from the Tokyo Dome.

But that’s just something I’m going to have to put up with.

K-1 Asian Grand Prix, Seoul, South Korea 2005 - TV Review

The coverage centered on the Grand Prix tournament itself, and sadly the other matches were edited out of the show. However, this didn't spoil my enjoyment of this show.
