The final 8 fighters in the 2008 K-1 WorldMax are: Andy Souwer, Sato, Masato, Buakaw Por. Pramuk, Artur Kyshenko, Drago, Kido, Warren Stevelmans.  Since in our K-1 WorldMax Top 16 post we discussed the top 5 WorldMax fighters in K-1, the game has changed a little.  We have to take Albert Kraus off the list because of his poor sportsmanship and his loss to Buakaw Por. Pramuk.

2008 K-1 WorldMax Final 8, Top 5 Ranking:

(1) Andy Souwer

(2) Masato

(3) Baukaw Por. Pramuk

(4) Artur Kyshenko

(5) YASUHIRO KIDO

2008 K-1 WorldMax Final 8 Predictions:

After  Baukaw Por. Pramuk lost to Masato last year (2007), it seems Baukaw is off his game.  He has started to throw a lot more kicks in the 2008 season, but this doesn’t mean he’s back to his peak prime of the 06 year.  Which fighters will advance to the final 4? From the line up K-1 put out for 2008 K-1 WorldMax Final 8, we predict the following fighters will make it to the Final 4:  Andy Souwer, Masato, Baukaw Por. Pramuk, Artur Kyshenko.  Since Artur Kyshenko was KOed by Masato last year, he’ll want revenge, so let’s hope we see Masato vs. Artur Kyshenko 2 in the 2008 K-1 WorldMax final 4.

2008 K-1 WorldMax and Steroids:

Drago, the fighter from Armenia is on steroids, as it turns out he was tested for anabolic steroids in an event outside of Japan and had huge levels of testosterone, so out of the Final 8, he’s 100% using anabolic steroids.  Masato is known to have been on light steroids like anavar and winstrol.  While Baukaw Por. Pramuk is probably heavy into the same short acting anabolic steroids as Masato.
