I watched both his fights with Minotaro and Crocop. I thought his fight with Minotaro was one of his best ones. If Sapp mostly kept it as a stand up fight, I think he could of won, or tried to stay on top of Minotaro. As with Crocop......if I were to fight him right now, I'd bring an aluminum bat in the ring covered in barbwire. But I recentley heard he lost to Minotaro.
You got to see his K-1 match? How much were the tickets? That's gotta be pretty cool to see the Mike Tyson and Bob Sapp confrontation. I would love to see Sapp fight Quinton "Rampage" Jackson in the near future. Jackson has mad-ass take downs and actually uses Power Bombs in some of his fights. Sapp doesn't have that much experience in martial arts so I see lots of improvement or him in the near futue.
I say Sapp's either crazy or stupid to think he could fight Tyson under boxing rules. I'd rather see an NHB/MMA match. The way they should fight. I think depending on how the match goes, it could give PRIDE and such sports credibility (unlike Antonio Inoki Vs. Muhammed Ali). I think Sapp could stand a chance unless Tyson learns some jiu-jitsu, wrestling, and muay thai. Sapp seriously has a stamina problem that I see improving in the near future.
As for endorsements, I think it's natural to have a guy his size to be big (no pun intended) in Japan. The guy has charisma, charm, and other talents (anybody buy his album by any chance?). I've seen him doing children's pajamas commercials, and other children's commercials that would make the American public think he's more disturbing than Michael Jackson. He also does restraunt commercials and everything else. He practically makes thirty million a year
As of right now the ministry of finance is using him as a symbol to get the economy rolling again
Since Sapp came to Japan with no money they think they can give confidence back to the people

K-1 tickets are like 100 something dollars. Check out http://www.k-1usa.net and goto the us website for tickets. The Vegas ones are always May and Augest. But it was very cool to watch k-1 in vegas. My dad who isn't into kickboxing/boxing stuff got into it. I was sitting next to a sherdog reporter too. We talked like the whole event. Everyone was standing on their for the kimo/sapp fight and then for the tyson thing.
Again due to his size he was hard for our little(comparitively) Minotaro to deal with. Minotaro's guard was passed so easy it's sad. It's not really fair to the other guys. A 5 pound difference plays a big part in fights. 10's is hugh. But fucking 100 pounds, its no longer about skill.
Mirko got knock the fuck out by Remy recently too. Doesn't take away from the fact Mirko is still a great fighter. From what I hear the Remy vs Mirko match was like 30 secs or something. Gotta start watching more k-1,pride, and ufc again.
Oh, actually Jackson got killed by Silva, like 14 knees. Finally showed Sivla was a kickass fighter. I guess the Japanese gave up having a Japanese fighter with a middle wieght belt. I still miss Sakuraba with it though.
I dont think Tyson will fight actually. Sapp would gain alot a creditbilty for winning while Tyson gets nothing for winning. And if he lost, Tyson is then washed up. But all Tyson needs to learn is a little bjj, how to lift his leg to block and he's set. Sapp doesnt use his legs so it really shouldn't even be an issue for Tyson. The only way I see Tyson losing is if it's NHB rules and it goes to the ground. From there, mount, and then come the punches.
Also nice too see that sherdog as added even more pop-up adds.
Edit: wtf k-1 has NHB rules now?

Since I live in a bordering state of Nevada, I should consider going to a K-1 event if I got the money by May (and if the semester is over by then). I've been to a lot of WWE events in my life, time to see a real fight. I hope I get to see Bob Sapp!!!
I don't think it's sad that Minotaro's guard was easily passed. I just think it was natural due to the size/weight/power difference. If I were to fight Bob Sapp (I'm 5'8" 190Ibs), I wouldn't even try to fight him on the ground or try to take him down, I'd try to keep it as a stand up fight even though I'll get clobbered. Well, some of these martial artists like some jiu-jitsu fighters are trained to fight people of all sizes. I know this sounds like a bad comparison but some of these guys are taught about street fighting or school yard brawling. Some martial arts instructors will teach you that size won't matter anywhere. I've been capable of putting people 50Ibs heavier than me in a guard and a gulliotine =D.
Haven't heard about that recent fight of Crocop. I'll admit he's one deadly fighter. I saw his match with Wanderlei Silva and I feel the fans deseve this rematch (anyone heard about another Silva and Sakuraba rematch?). Sakuraba has been unlucky lately. Has he foughten Rickson Gracie yet? Because he's beaten every Gracie that he has ever fought (and their great grandfather pretty much invented modern day jiu-jitsu).
It would be stupid if Tyson refused the fight. You'd probably have riots in Tokyo that would make the L.A. ones look like Disneyland. Plus, it would make Tyson look like a coward or something like that after he jumped in the ring to start crap with Bob Sapp thinking he's all bad.
K-1 doesn't have NHB rules. But K-1 does send their fighters to fight in PRIDE. If K-1 somehow allows something like that, maybe we get how Tyson Vs. Sapp should really be.
I recentley read another interview with Don Frye in concerns to Bob Sapp. He says he could beat him. I'd love to see a match with those two.
Is Shamrock Vs. Frye on DVD yet in America? That was probably one of the best fights ever. Too bad it had to end in a decision.
If I had to fight Bob Sapp, first I'd run. But, if cornered I go for the ground. Most people know something about striking, but very few know grappling. Still I would die. Even with my bjj skills(all 6 monthes, then off and on for about a year. Im a striker).
Nah, saku hasnt fought Rickson. Rickson hasnt fought any real guys unless you count his Takada match... 
Tyson really doesnt have much to gain by doing k-1 though. He has like 2 or 3 boxing matches left in him. Thats 5-10 mill each. At most the Japanese can pay 1 mill. And if Tyson loses, its over for him.
Dude check out the k-1 website, it said they just had a match with MMA/NHB rules in Japan. My friends at my boxing/muay thai gym were saying something about that.
Fucking Pride 19 should have been out here for a goddamn year. I still want to see that match. I guess my have to import it. Japan's dvd's are so exspensive too.
OT: Nice to know my computer can ring in the new year by having its motherboard fried. Im on my dads laptop.
