Love watching warrior talk but this episode was not the best
Honestly, remy was not comfortable in it
- the announcement of the guests took far too long
-Questions asked of the fighters were so obvious, making for boring conversations
- marianne who was talking nicely about new rules was cut off and had to shuffle,she should have just finished this conversation, this was fascinating
- and surely she was the referee who appeared on screen at Kromah/Bahram during the party? Most talked-about fight of the night
Had asked about this what was going on and how she experienced this party, I would have really liked to know
Furthermore, am still a fan of the show!
Glory picked the wrong Errol. Had hoped for Zimmerman. If I have to pick a kickboxing veteran anyway. Honestly never heard of Errol King, nice that confidence though. But almost 40 years and what heavyweights has he won against? Had the same thing with Collin George, but he wasn't too bad either. So who knows.... but honestly poverty hear. But gun Errol King on a nice finish to his kickboxing career.
Who knows, maybe Zimmerman will come too but ultimately you should not expect too much from him. Much of what is brought in is purely for padding but has little chance of winning the title.
Errol King is a well-known name in the world in his own right. Used to fight at 75kg with organizations like Its Showtime, Superkombat and Slamm!!! I like that his career has now been given a second life as a heavyweight.
Personally, I don't really understand the clamor for Zimmerman. Yes, he is a real fighter. But if you've seen his past matches you know it's out of the question.
Yes exactly that: "used to fight" at "75kg".... The guy is almost 40 now and fighting as a heavyweight fairly recently?.... Meh... Zimmerman is indeed not the KO machine he used to be, but he is a well-known heavyweight who can still KO most heavyweights. But I hope at all that Glory invests more in 25-30 year old heavyweights. But those don't seem to exist unfortunately. Perhaps a House of Glory heavyweight an idea?.... And do this internationally instead of just the Netherlands. I'm sure there will be some Easterners, Brazilians or Balkan guys of 95kg+ running around that could be a nice addition.
"The problem in kickboxing? The judges. 90% have never trained, never been in a ring - some don't even know what kickboxing is. Head judges don't even know the difference between Muay Thai and kickboxing. And the boss of the martial arts authority? Lets youth fight with hood, while he himself has never given a kick or punch. How can you be a referee or judge without any kickboxing experience? And then trainers giving exams when they have never done one themselves. It's just sad - complete amateurs set the rules....
The biggest problem is a shortage of judges. If there were judges with fighting experience, they would be used more often. Now an organizer is often lucky to find judges at all.

Nice mix of table guests
