is Penn still fighting in the K-1 Hero's GP or was that just a rumor?

I don't think Karo's stand up is WORSE than Sanchez's, but it's not that much better. And I agree even if Sanchez was "exposed" tonight, I don't see Parisyan defending the takedown attempts as good as Alessio did. One because it looks like Alessio's takedown defense is better, and two because unlike Alessio, Parisyan probably wants the fight on the ground.

Karo's standup is a hell of a lot better than diegos.Karo swings harder and faster and isn't afraid to take risks.I'll take Karo's standup over diegos any day.

It's not crisp though it's sloppy, and leaves a lot of openings for takedowns which Sanchez would capitalize on. Agreed though, Parisyan is a better striker than Sanchez.
