Did you miss the first round. Bonjasky knocked hari down and nearly took his head off with a jumping kick. It was a pretty even fight although Hari looked very strong. i thought Remy made a bit much of it too, but to be honest, Hari did stamp on his head. There is no telling how hard it was but the benifit of the doubt has to go with Bonjasky.

Remy is my favourite fighter but even so:

Badr soccer kicked him while the ref was dragging him off. There is no excuse or justification for that. It's a straight red card regardless of your sport. People who criticise Remy have not got a leg to stand on and stfu imo.

Alright ladies, calm down, never said he was a bad fighter but what an actor!!! And what was the deal crying like a pussy after the fight! Plus, I did say Hari was/is a scumbag and GOT WHAT HE DESERVED.

Did you miss the first round.

No, it was alright but did you miss the first minute of the piece, like I said Bonjasky LOOKED LIKE he didn't want to be there.

Another interesting piece,

Jaysus, talk about deserving an Oscar for that fine piece of acting after that half ass punch of Sapp's.

pretty much sums it up, no respect for his opponent or rules. Should be banned.

Would hari have received any payment or do you loose it when disqualified..

Penalties:
1. The confiscation of the full amount (100%) of Hari's fight money.
2. The confiscation of Hari's event prize money and the stripping of his title as K-1 World GP runner-up for the year 2008. (there will be no runner-up this year)
3. The stripping of Hari's K-1 Heavyweight Title and Belt.

During the Final Match of the “K-1 World GP 2008 Final” at the Yokohama Arena on Saturday, December 6, fighter Badr Hari twice punched opponent Remy Bonjasky, who was lying on the mat. After referee Nobuaki Kakuda intervened between the two fighters, Hari kicked Bonjasky. Hari was shown a red card (three point deduction) and thus disqualified because as a result of the foul.
The K-1 Rules Committee took this incident very seriously and held discussions with event promoter FEG. On Wednesday, December 17, 2008, K-1 Event Producer Sadaharu Tanikawa announced penalties that will be imposed on Badr Hari effective immediately.

Said Mr. Tanikawa: K-1 is now broadcast in about 150 countries worldwide. Such foul behavior should not be happened in the K-1 ring. In this regard, Badr Hari could be given an even more severe punishment, such as the suspension of his right to fight. However, after consulting with our attorney and judges, it was decided to penalize him in accordance with the K-1 Official Rules.
According to K-1 Official Rules, a fighter loses the full amount of his fight money when he receives a red card and is disqualified. In addition, the fighter is deprived of any event title and prize money when disqualified.
Regarding the deprivation of Hari's title as K-1 Heavyweight Champion: upon receiving the title belt, a fighter signs an agreement stating he will behave in a dignified manner befitting a champion. What Badr Hari did violated this agreement, and thus his title has been revoked.
Under the current K-1 Official Rules, there is no provision for the suspension of fighters. After consideration in light of this incident, we have decided to add to the rules new provisions for fighters' suspensions of three months to one year. These measures can be implemented when a fighter receives a red card/disqualification, in order to punish the fighter more strictly.
In the past, there have been fighters, such as Bob Sapp and Francois Botha, who have received penalties. However, Badr Hari has received the most severe penalties in K-1's history.
As Badr Hari has been deprived of the title of Heavyweight Champion, the championship is now vacant. FEG is planning to hold a title match, excluding Hari.
We hope Badr Hari will sincerely accept the punishment. I also hope he will perform voluntary social service, and show us that he regrets his behavior and has changed his attitude so that he can come back to K-1 soon.

he is a great fighter but look at the clips dave has shown. if there is any excuse to get out of the fight he will use it. grand he was hit on the floor but he is a pro fighter he gets hit ten times as hard in any fight. he could have shook it off no bother and went on fighting. but he milked it like the fight against bob sapp. i dont think he has a fighters heart

siochain

no question on RB milking it, still does not condone punching an opponent twice and stamping on him when he's on the ground.

Was Bonjasky crying ?

NC, take warning for that.

Only got around to this now. That is UNBELIEVABLE! Yes he's milking it but Hari's actions are inexcusable.

The funny thing about K1's response is that pretty soon Hari will be back with a bad boy tag around his neck and making his prize money back plus a hefty bonus on top, especially in a rematch with Remy. In spite of what K1 might say in press releases, they are primarily interested in entertainment, not the sporting element of it. Don't get me wrong, K1 has thrown up some absolute classic matches but the only reason it gets fighters of the quality of Hari, Aerts, Huug et al is because they can make far, far more money fighting in K1 than anywhere else. The flip side is that occasionally they have to go in against people like Choi or Sapp and face the possibility of humiliation.

If only as many people watched Superleague!

As far as i am concerned if i am in a ring with someone fighting under a rule set the says you can't hit me after a knock down and you do it twice, and follow up with a stamp to the head then you lose the right to fight me, plain and simple.
