      I feel the athlete was not in his straight mind once his coach began to ask for a knockout. Karate is more grounded, slow... but also stronger (in my opinion). So, if the fighter began to let the heat take up the mind, he'd blind himself for the adversary movement. Most of the sweeps happened at the end, after coach starts yelling "Finish him". Before that, Akimoto was more aware of spacing and rhythm.

    I think that Qiu timed the sweeps so well because he made the read that sometimes Akimoto's kicks were charged up for power, and that he often threw combinations in a left-right pattern, where the left or right punch was usually followed by its opposite kick. Awesome fight though.

      In Kyokushin matches are framed as battles of attrition, with no head punches or an emphasis on traditional 10 point scoring methods the bulk of matches simply drag on until one of the fighters collapses from the body blows and can'tget back up in 3 seconds. Any high level Kyokushin karateka should be very used to getting the snot beaten put of him and simply standing up immediately.

The Chinese fighter not even fall once but the Japanese I think fell almost 10 times, what a shame. Next time they should name those judges, you know when they are Americans, Anglosaxon or English ancestry judges, basically Chinese fighters can withdraw before the fight because we already know who going to win, matches always going against Chinese fighters.

    Took 2:53 for one of the sportscasters to finally comment that Akimoto is using a basic dutch kickboxing style tactic of 2-3 punches followed by a strong low kick.
    This was really cool to watch as Qiu Jianliang seems to have much stronger kicks as a kickboxer (and is great at using them to sweep and keep distance) and that helped in the beginning but Akimoto's (kyokushin/Dutchboxing) 2-3 punch/kick combinations, ability to check/eat sweeps&kicks, and constant pressure to be on the offensive even a little bit made this a solid match to watch. Qiu Jianliang's kicks are great too; it's really refreshing to see someone who can utilize kicking to do sweeps (Akimoto gets swept so many times but just keeps getting up) and use kicks to mitigate range and deliver them with precision and power. These guys are both really great to watch head to head. ^_^
