Albert Kraus - John Wayne Parr

[lauriecross]

Who will come out on top in this match up it should be an incredible battle

[Jofeljoh!]

could go either way ofcourse, but I think JWP is more complete and probably more motivated. As a Dutchman I hope for Kraus but I won't cheer less if JWP wins. He's a great fighter and great person and deserves all the best. Hopefully the crowd is the biggest winner after this fight.

This definitely has the potential to be "fight of the night" at MAX Finals. Out of all the Quarter-Final Matchups, this is the one most people are looking forward to. It is tough to call. Kraus has won it before, so I would imagine he is a slight favorite to take this, but my heart and hopes are going out to JWP. I think this could be his year to stand out and become an even bigger name, by winning the whole thing. Good Luck to JWP! I can't wait for this one.

[Oltje]

Can someone tell me about that fight you mention? What organisation was it?

[depechemode]

I hope for JWP to win the tournament and to beat everyone on the way to be the champ, I believe he deserve to be the champ this year

[walker]

They both looked good in their last few fights, and it should be a competetive fight, but for some reason I have a feeling JWP is gonna take it. I think he's extremely motivated to take the title this year and, judging by how easy he beat Chapman, he's gonna be hard to beat. He's got a tough road, but I see him making it to the finals, if not winning it.

JWP has the defense to cut Kraus's point scoring game, but the question is will he continue to be active enough to score enough, or a knockdown/out of his own

I think JWP more than has all the skills to beat Kraus, and he will be more than motivated enough having National Geographic there, so if he fires from round one (meaning not the slower MT build up style) he should be able to come out on top. What I would hope hope though is he manages to stop Kraus (no offense to Kraus at all, I quite like the guy but am pulling for JWP this year) in the first or second so he has some energy left for Buakaw/Jadamba

JWP has potentially the hardest route to winning MAX... if he wins he may have ended up fighting each MAX champion (Quarter-vs-Kraus, Semi-vs-Buakaw, Final-vs-Masato)

Beating three champions in one night... thats like the stuff of legend. GO JWP!

When you think of it, it really couldn't get any better than that for the National G doco!

Kraus's porcelain chin has been exposed, so I'm predicting JWP by highlight-reel-worthy KO.

[MZN]

It's very hard for me to choose a side here... I'm a fan of both. There aren't many fighters in the final 8 that I want not to win. Or well only one: Kohi :p

On topic: I honestly can't predict something without wishful thinking. With wishful thinking though I edge to JWP cuz I think he's more sympethatic and has less of those k-1 max fashion stuff. I like no nonsense fighters :p

Wouw, yeah you are right. Well said! :)

[MexicanFighter39]

This Is The Fight I'm Looking Forward To The Most, Should Be A Great Fight. Parr Has A Good Chance To Knockout Kraus, Seeing That He Is Similar To Buakaw Just That He Punches A Lot Harder Then Him. But U Can't Ever Rule Out Kraus, Just Look What Happened When He Fought Buakaw. No One Expected Him To Win And He Proved Everyone Wrong.

[-=[DM]=-]

I predict a great fight with Kraus winning a close decision

[Titan]

No way, JWP has to win ... OR I'LL BAN HIS KAKUTOUGI ACCOUNT!! ;-)

[mpt0069]

I've said all along that this was JWP's year to take it all. I'm certainly not going to deviate now. WAR JWP!!!!!!!!11

[KicknPunch]

Gotta go with JWP, though he will really need to be dominant as if it goes the distance the judges will probably lean it Kraus's way.

[kentaro]

Kraus will beat everybody again like he did in 2002.
WAR KRAUS!!!!!!!!

[Angelco]

I think it's going to be JWP. Eitherway, who ever wins this fight will probably win the whole thing!

[Oltje]

Since im biased as fuck I pick Kraus! :D Nonetheless it's gonna be a good fight!

[Razor Bump]

Parr.... Will be up to Parr
