It made me sick that Badr Team members wore a shirt with: "Badr says f#$k Karaev."

post fight intreviews:


CHOI

"I felt a bit nervous fighting Le Banner and know I didn`t do my best. I don`t have any regrets about the fight, I like Jerome.
I was expecting more punching from him but was suprised by all the low kicks.
I don`t have so much experience in K-1 yet but I fight hard.


LE BANNER

came in limping a little.

Q. Did the fight go as planned?
A. In France my sparring partner is small so it`s impossible to prepare properly for a fight with Choi. You can`t find sparring partners like that in France! It wasn`t the usual kind of fight I`m used to. He`s not human....but he`s handsome and has a nice smile. He`s like a big kid.
He has very hard bones, very strong. Kicking him is like kicking a wall.

Q. Why did you change from punching to low kicks?
A. It`s easy to get kneed on the inside and he`s so tall he only has to raise his leg (this much) to knee you.

Q. Why did you lose weight?
A. I`ve changed my lifestyle and food. My blood type is A+ so being vegetarian is good for me or so I read. Recently i`ve eaten mainly vegetables and tofu. It`s easy for an A+ blood type to get fat eating meat.
I feel a lot better. I started the diet 3 months ago. I`m going to be in a movie so I have to get in shape for it.

Q. You came to Japan quite late, why was that?
A. I get frustrated waiting for a fight if I come here early and I can`t focus on the fight ahead of me. Can`t stand the waiting.....and AIR FRANCE were on strike.
(in english) "you ever take air france?? don`t....they`re not good. JAL is better I think"

Q. What do you think of Choi?
A. With a little more experience, 2 years or so I think he`ll be good. he`s strong, hard bones, I don`t think anyone can knock him out.

Le banner talked for ages and sat their enjoying　his moment and actually had to be asked by one of the event staff if he could finish his interview now....then in english says

"WHY, DO THEY TURN THE LIGHTS OF OR SOMETHING. CAN`T YOU PAY THE BILL?"

HA HA.

Very bad image of that gym.

Hey, great interview, This is the kind of coverage we could be geting consistently, but detailed and long interview seems to be reserved only for a handful of guys. Luckily Jerome always shows as a very sincere and nice guy, awesome interview, thanks for this.

Is there any more post interviews available?

Everyone can't be boyscouts

[Global Honored]

great pics as always! thanks

[Shinbone]

Yes, indeed. If I was a teammember I would have refused to wear that shirt.

No, wolves, they can't be all boyscouts, but a little respect for your opponent is normal. Especially in martial arts mutual respect is required.
Putting that text on the shirt is rather childish to me.
They're grown men, don't forget.

That's why I admire Feitosa, Bonjasky, Aerts, Hoost (although dancing in front of your opponent isn't really proper), Le Banner etc for their behaviour towards their opponent.
