October 2, 2010 – Seoul, Korea – After a successful weigh-in where all fighters passed weight on the first time, the stage was set for the most exciting middleweight event of the year thus far. |
| All eyes were on the reigning MAX Champion of course, and Giorgio Petrosyan (69.8kg) looked as relaxed and confident as we have come to expect. His opponent, Vitaly Hurkou (69.5kg) was perhaps even more relaxed. When asked how he was feeling a humongous smile spread across his face. “I am so honored to be here. What is even better is that while it is my first time in MAX, I already have the chance to show what I can do against the number 1 fighter. Giorgio is a great fighter, and I am looking forward to the fight. After I fight him, it will prove that I belong here,” he said. As for “The Doctor,” he said that his hand is now completely fine and that there was no need to worry about it.
Another newcomer, Michal Glogowski (69.9kg) showed a similarly positive attitude regarding his dangerous opponent, Sagadpet (69.8kg). Despite admitting it is a very dangerous fight, it came out today that when his opponent was first mentioned to him via telephone, he immediately agreed to the fight. MAX is breathtakingly exciting at its worst. With this injection of new and hungry talent, mixed in with the veterans of previous years, it promises to take things to even greater heights. And the best part is, you can watch the event unfold live, and for free! That’s right: for the first time ever, this event is offered as a live stream!! Not only that, but you are invited to join in the excitement the following day when the Final 8 for both MAX and K-1 will take part in the draw of destiny that matches each up with their first round opponent for the 1-day tournaments that will decide the champions for 2010.
