3 minutes with possible extra round):



Zabit Samedov (203 lbs) vs. Patrick Barry (232 lbs)



The second semi-final match saw the heavy-hitting Bayou native Patrick Barry squaring off with the charismatic Caspian Sea inhabitant Zabit Samedov. The audience was on their feet cheering as both men entered the ring, as most people in attendance now expected the winner of this match to be the overall tournament champion.



Round 1:

The opening round began with a relentless display of strikes, as each fighter pushed a steady pace. Patrick Barry left a clinch, complaining of a groin strike with Zabit Samedov shaking his head in denial and the audience booing for the delay. The action resumed with the smaller Samedov pushing the action with sick hand speed, appearing to try and fatigue the stronger Barry. Samedov began attacking Barry's massive thighs with razor-like leg kicks. Barry responded by connecting with left high kick, but only found an unimpressed Samedov taunting him for more with some flashy head movement taken straight out of Roy Jones Jr.'s showmanship repertoire.



Round 2:

The second round saw a slower and more conservative pace from both combatants. Barry attempted to return Samedov's leg kicks with some bruisers of his own, but Samedov cautiously fended off each attack by pushing Barry back with some front kicks to the stomach before finally attacking Barry's swollen pink thighs again with a leg kick.



Round 3:

The final round saw Barry pushing Samedov againt the ropes and again trying to deliver high kicks with little to no effect. The two continued to exchange blows with Samedov fearlessly egging Barry on for more, as the audience took note and voiced their approval in excitement. The fight went to the judges, which may have been influenced by Samedov's showmanship (as he kept indicating Barry's shots were causing no damage) and the close split-decision victory was awarded to Zabit Samedov (28-29, 29-28, 30-27).





Superfight #2 (3 rounds x 3 minutes with possible extra round):



Stefan "Blitz" Leko (215 lbs) vs. Siala "Mighty Mo" Siliga (299 lbs)



The second Superfight was the most anticipated fight of the night as it featured the Samoan Bulldozer in K-1 World Grand Prix 2007 in Hawaii champion Siala "Mighty Mo" Siliga against two-time World Grand Prix in Las Vegas champion and four-time K-1 tournament winner Stefan "Blitz" Leko (71-54-15 : 32 KO's, 1 No Contest). The German Leko, fighting out of the famed Golden Glory team and the Samoan-American fan favorite "Mighty Mo"have already earned their automatic passes to September's K-1 Final Elimination in Seoul, South Korea, so this fight offered a look at the form that both fighters are currently showing.



Round 1:

The two K-1 legends entered the ring with Siala "Mighty Mo" Siliga enjoying the clear hometown favorite treatment with a raucous roar of cheers from the audience. The two-time World Grand Prix in Las Vegas champion Stefan Leko appeared unphased by the huge weight difference and biased crowd as he started things off with his trademark stance pointing one arm at Mighty Mo in what could be desribed as a modified Heisman Trophy stance. The first round saw Leko delivering a series of spinning heel kicks, stinging leg kicks, and spinning back fists to the torso of the much bigger Mighty Mo, while Mighty Mo seemed content to bide his time and wait for an opening.



Round 2:

The second stanza saw Leko landing shots to Mighty Mo's gelatinous midsection (complete with "SAMOA" tattooed across it) with little effect as it appeared Mighty Mo's belly absorbed each blow with little effect. Mighty Mo tried his trademark overhand right, but missed with Leko tripping backwards in frantic scurry to avoid a dooming blow. Mighty Mo would attempt the overhand right once more before the end of the round, but it only glanced Leko with little effect.



Round 3:

The final round found Mighty Mo obviously fatigued and unable to land any strong shots. Leko persisted with an assortment of kicks, though none landed with any real impact. The fight ended with the decision going to the judges, who gave a unanimous decision (30-27 on all 3 cards) in favor of Stefan "Blitz" Leko. The crowd erupted in disapproval and left many questioning Mighty Mo's conditioning headed into South Korea next month.





Superfight #3 (3 rounds x 3 minutes with possible extra round):



Bjorn "The Rock" Bregy (279 lbs) vs. Ray "Sugarfoot" Sefo (250 lbs)



The third Superfight saw the legendary K-1 showman Ray "Sugarfoot" Sefo (61-15-1 : 49 KO's) squaring off with the K-1 World Grand Prix 2007 in Amsterdam finalist in the 6 foot, 8 inch, 280 pound Swiss leviathan Bjorn "The Rock" Bregy (14-7 : 8 KO's). Sefo a native of New Zealand having relocated to Las Vegas was the clear fan favorite. However, there would be more incentive on the line other than gaining bragging rights and pleasing his fans. This would also be the last chance for Sefo and Bregy to earn consideration for a Wild Card in September's K-1 Final Elimination in Seoul, South Korea.
