Both were very impressive for sure - it takes a lot of training to develop skills that good
Awesome fight. The sound from each hit is frightning, very powerful fighters
People getting excited about the number of times Akimoto had his legs swept, dont know the rules. Throws, sweeps and trip are not allowed. Its kickboxing not Muay Thai.
So stoked to see Akimoto fight again next month. He's been inactive for way too long.
very sharp, very technical. Love it when striking is like this
Long recovery time when fighting like this. Both did really well.
The kickboxing guy’s reflexes are very impressive.

@@mnemonix1315I wouldn’t say so. Remember that the ref is built like an average person and he was bigger than them. It is because the ring has good lighting, they are both very lean and have no shirt on, and there were almost no other people to compare them to. They would probably look like average fit dudes in shirts.

In this Kickboxing match, the ref would stop the sweeper as soon as the other guy fall on the floor. In MMA, being on the floor will be a big disadvantage. If this is how scoring work in Kickboxing, then this sports will have no potential for growth in viewership.

Akimoto telegraphs his front side roundhouse too much. Too easy to block or evade it. Better to throw a front snap kick or side teep instead of a front roundhouse. "The shortest distance between two points is a straight line."
アキモトって超つえー、何者?
Ok, I just became a fan of Akimoto, I want to see more of his fights now. The rivalry between China and Japan usually makes for exciting events whatever the sport. Those Akimoto leg kicks though, Qiu is going to be limping for at least a week.
no feints, rarely any body punches. Just kicking legs, body and punching the head. High level professionals, but both look nervous and edgy. Both could be alot more creative mixing it up.
@zoroverse8358
8 күн бұрын
What are you saying? Have you ever seen/trained any martial arts even remotely similar to kickboxing? There were absolutely feints, just not any over exaggerated ones used in amateur stuff, also it is harder to see from camera, as they feints are meant for the opponents and not the audience. Over exaggerating feints leaves you open for counters, works worse often when facing a high level opponent. You, no offense, obviously don’t know what you are talking about. For example 2:16 there were feints to set up the left knee, and immediately in the engagement after, akimoto feinted a cross, tough he got push kicked away after. Soon after that qiu feinted a teep before doing a punching combo.
Two very good fighters at the top of the game... very nice. But one was clearly faster and harder...

Sweeps don't score, in fact they aren't even allowed in most kick boxing scoring systems. You can lose points for consistent sweeping, kicks to the legs are though. Same thing with catch and hit.

秋元つぇー!
Dude literally SHOWED the blueprint to beating opponents who spam low kicks ! ! Yes he didn't win here as he almost gave the first round away figuring out his opponent. But once he changed level starting the second round he was dropping his opponent endlessly timing the low kicks. His opponent though, made no adjustments, and he won't be so lucky in a rematch. LOVE China !
Qiu should've won.
