Takei is chasing after the KO so stubbornly. He can still get caught at any moment

Takei Yoshiki defeats Suriyanlek OBT.Kamphee by Unanimous Decision
While the maths for the score are simple enough, Suriyanlek came back strong in round three and had Takei in trouble more than once.
It's crazy when you realize Suriyanlek was about to be faceplanted early in R1.

The one judge who gave it to Kana after three rounds should be kicked in the face.
If anyone got the nod it should've been Knutsson.

I like how Geugjes sits in the crowd making a belt signal with her hands as if it should somehow be rightfully hers, when she probably looked the worst in the women's GP.

Yeah it was so blatantly rigged in Kana's favor. It's such a smudge on this otherwise stellar event.

Very close fight.
Unfortunately it was also very clinchy.
I almost feel like Rukiya will take it due to how often Kaew got warned.

Disclaimer: I missed the first 8 fights so I'd have to catch up with those, but from what I've gathered that portion of the card was definitely a bit slower.
Some comments:
- Very solid season ender for not just K-1, but kickboxing in general.
- A ton of GREAT knockdowns/KO's.
- For only being a one round exhibition fight with shinguards, I feel Takeru/Egawa was more exciting than many real fights we get throughout the year.
- Unfortunately the Anpo/Kaew rematch wasn't the banger to top off this event that I hoped for.
- Between the Takei/Suriyanlek and Oiwa/Exakoustidis there were a bunch of situations where they could have arguably ruled knockdowns instead of slips and it would have influenced/changed the outcome of the fight.
- On to my only real, but substantial complaint: While I actually didn't mind the women's GP, I did mind the blatant rigging of decisions in Kana's favor. While I don't think it was a complete robbery, I do feel only a knockdown would have gotten Knutsson a decision victory here. Especially since it happened so late on the card, it left a bit of a sour note on an otherwise great event.
This year we've barely had any instances in K-1 where I felt like hometown fighters got unfair advantages in terms of decisions, so anytime something like this happens it feels like a clear step back.
It's unfortunate because I love K-1, but I can't just close my eyes to bullshit when I see it.
Either way, thanks for joining everyone!
