I can't believe Ndem was second place in the U.S. Open 2006. I don't like his way of fight.

this is crap, spend more time jumping around than fighting, you're there to fight get in there, watch san shou matches if you want action

Sorry--when was the last time you were in the SKIF Kumite finals? Oh, that's right...never?

Not sure I agree with you. The contact to the face is unquestionable, but he was out of position (essentially running forward in a sloppy position) when the contact took place. So having it marked for warning is understandable. Also, the contact looked excessive - like he was trying to hurt his opponent - rather than make good clean contact. I'm not sure I would have called it a foul, but I'm not going to overrule the judge as he had closer vantage point tha I did.

the ref was outrageous. Both very reputable fighters. This fight appeared to be the only fight that troubled the azerbaijiani ,he got dominated this fight after this fight he went on and killed everbody

both need to keep their hands up, stop grabbing their gi's and fight

SKIF - Shotokan Karate International Federation, Kanazawa's organizationAbsolutely right, the ref called his first punch to the face a foul instead of giving him 2 points!

What does the SKIF mean?? Looks good nice job...I think US kind of got screwed on a couple of points...I saw a lot more than the ref did..
