Two time K-1 World MAX champion and #1 ranked kickboxer in the world Giorgio Petrosyan (70-1-1) took on top 10 ranked Artur Kyshenko (49-9-1) March 24th in Milan, Italy.
the best
Kyshenko seems to have lost a lot of his strength, aggression and movement since changing from Odessa to Mike’s Gym, he just doesn’t seem to have the same fluidity and power anymore. Actually he seems to be more mechanical and clumsy now and with less tricks up his sleeve. I think the Odessa Kyshenko would’ve done so much better in this fight. But yeah, Petrosyan’s a monster just now, can’t really see many people out there who can beat him – Buakaw perhaps? JWP?
ROFL my mind pre-read the last name and instantly thought it was “karo parisyan” in kickboxing, but I realized im just a dumb pothead.
That Guy looks like Amir Khan and Prince Naseem if they were to have shagged and made a baby
lame
Giorgio is the best, but he really needs to prove his dominance by finishing some people. He hasn’t finished anyone in like 10 or more fights, and his last finish was a corner stoppage.
This is the best kickboxer in the world? Exactly the reason I dont put a lot of credence into Kickboxing. I agree with the poster above me lame.
Buakaw is to much of a coward to fight either of them….F*** the has been Buakaw…He sucks
Petrosyan has only ever loss 1 time? Really?
Bruno, didnt know u are romanian
@Tendojitsu: Petrosyan is extremely fast and made Kyshenko seems odd and clumsy. If you see the beginning of the 3rd round, when Giorgio slowed down, Kushenko looked a lot more fluid.
@Pope: He is like Dominique Cruz, he traded power for speed. That’s why he always wins, because he can throw a lot of blows and get out of the way fast. On the other hand, he can only knock someone out if the other fighter really leaves his chin exposed.
Kyshenko is 20lbs heavier than Giorgio….Obviously he isn’t going to be getting in a brawl with him
I want to see Giorgio Petrosyan vs Robin Van Roosmalen.
@PitfighteZ….yeah I agree. I’m just not a big fan of the style. I do like to see solid defense, but I like to see it be coupled with a solid offense.
@Tom….You know Buakaw and Petrosyan already fought right? Gotta be trolling-__-
Petroysan is an amazing fighter, no doubt but his lack of power is frustrating.
