|  Melvin Manhoef replaces Jerome Le Banner vs Mark Hunt
Quote:
TOKYO -- Jerome LeBanner was noticeably absent from a Tuesday press conference to promote K-1 “Premium 2008 Dynamite,” scheduled for New Year’s Eve at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan.
According to Fighting and Entertainment Group President Sadaharu Tanigawa, LeBanner -- who has withdrawn from his scheduled bout against Mark Hunt -- remained at home after being stricken with influenza. He reported that the Frenchman was beset by a 102.2-degree fever, was having difficulty breathing and had been hospitalized.
Dutch striker Melvin Manhoef will face Hunt in LeBanner’s stead, FEG representatives confirmed. One of the combat sports world’s most-feared knockout artists, Manhoef (22-5-1) will enter the match with wins in five of his past six fights. He submitted to a Gegard Mousasi triangle choke at Dream 6 in September.

He just fought in the mw tournament in dream. Wouldn't he be giving up a lot of size to hunt?
I wonder what Manhoef walks around at.

It should be entertaining, but it looks a lot like the Wanderlei vs Hunt fight.

I wonder what Manhoef walks around at. | Actually he just fought in K-1 a few weeks ago in a Kickboxing fight, and yes he should be giving up 100 pounds or so.

He is just coming off destroying 6'3" K-1 regular Paul Slowinski, so he should be in good shape and ready to take on a larger opponent 
Stylistically you'd have to think it will be a tough fight for Manhoef, but nobody really knows how focused or ready Hunt is, he looked like crap in his K-1 return vs. Schilt
