Watch this small documentary of the battle between Hoost and Sapp.
A small gift to PitfighterZ.
I still dont get how the F*** Hoost lost twice to Sapp . Guys a 4 time K1 champ and has like 120 fights or something like that and has beat the hell out of some tough guys…..I know age has something to do with it but losing to Sapp twice in a row must suck.
Before i saw this video my thoughts on sapp were he is a big joke, cant believe im saying this but now i can actually have some respect for the guy…
ummm… how did he win that second fight via TKO? becasue all Japanese fights at that time were fixed. Sapp sucks, and Hoost sucked also.
Tankless because he used to take punches like a man.
Okay now here is a information for you guys. I know for some of you it is hard to understand because you are a little bit dumb but here it is anywas:
Bop Sapp came to K1 and was just a big guy with a lot of power. Then after some fights you could see that he went to train and get some skills. Not very impressive but enough to have a little stand-up. Combined with his power that was quite dangerous. After that he discovered that he don’t need to train that much and hard if he just take some money to take a dive. Since then he is a diver for money. Watch the K1 fights of him and you will see what I mean.
THRUTH ENDS HERE MF
how cam a legit guy loose like this twice..sapp sucks. i dont get it.
Hoost is the s***. That sucks he dropped 2 to Sapp. Sapp is a POS. I can respect a big man with skills, but a big guy that never develops as a fighter and relies solely on the fact that he’s big is trash in my book.
Bob always had a good gas tank and sharp, clean punching. That’s how he beat Hoost.
That was Sapp all hopped up on roids too guys. That aint no joke. Hoost is a warrior and wanted to show that roid monkey that skill was necessary also…too bad he lost lol
Sapp ten years ago was really dangerous. In fact both Minotauro and Cro cop gained a lot of fame after being the first in defeating him in MMA and K1.
Ok he had no tecnique. But a 160 kg brawler was difficult to beat for anyone at the time
HOLY F*** Bob Sapp can actually fight? wtf?
you guys are thinking of the bobb sapp of today….try and remember the bob sapp that fought nog and hoost when he was in his prime. He was a force of nature.
He is 350lbs of muscle throwing haymakers and jabs….hard to deal with
@steamer
Exactly.Imagine how good he would’ve been if he tained seriously.But it’s also easy for a big bully who used his size all his life to just keep using that size instead of learning how to fight.
The reason for the losses: Hoost wanted to punish Sapp, so when Sapp was hurt Hoost let up on him to keep the fight going both times. Sapp has a lot of power that he caught Hoost. Sapp played the mind games with the pushing and shoving, and made it personal, that is why Hoost wanted to punish him. More lateral movement by Hoost would have helped as well.
@dankarelli
i think you need to lay off the shwag and rethink your life. Hoost is one of the all-time greats and would dub your favorite fighter in a kickboxing match.
Sapp was a good fighter when he used to train. He began to throw some high kicks n’ high knees. He could deal with the Big Nog’s techniques in MMA, and the Hoost’s techniques in K-1. Now he’s just a freakshow but in the 2000′s he was great. Check his behavior in the Yamamoto’s fight and in his first tournament in K-1. For me Sapp is a legend who screwed himself because of his greed. Good potential, bad worth. Too bad…
wow, those were entertaining fights.
in the second fight, sapp broke his hand and had four cracked ribs.
hoost was 6-2, 238 pounds
and sapp made him look tiny!
Thanks, Bruno! ![]()
All I can say is: easy money makes careers, but ruin fighters…
Bruno: I hoped you would like it. ![]()
Not sure about that second stoppage. Shame that Sapp is now content to take dives and pick up paychecks for that, but such is life. He’s entitled to ruin his reputation if he wants. Shame also for the fighters who’ve fought him, because in so doing, he brings down their names as well.
i loved that brawl ! couldnt stop laughing . a pure muscle slug fest is ok now and then haha
I’m more than 100% sure both fights were fixed. If it was real Hoost woulda used his kicks more. He would let Sapp tire himself out then chop him down.
