5/11 NJKF Student of Gordeau vs Sakurai Yohei

[kakatootoshi]

From the fightcard of 『START OF NEW LEGEND III』on 5/11:

Sakurai Yohei, who just lost to the genius of Muay Thai Attachi Fairtax, will be fighting again in a world title match (WFCA Muay Thai World Lighweight).

The champion is Karim El Osrouti, who is taught by Gerald Gordeau, a fighter with Kyokushin background and having fought great names as Antonio Inoki and Maeda Akira. Gordeau is known by the Japanese Puroresu and Kakutogi fans as "Shinigami".
(Shinigami can be roughly translated as "The God of Death")

The two fought once on 2006/05/03 and Sakurai won by right body straight KO in 4R.

OSU!

I didnt know about Osrouti being a IBK student (Gordeau faction). Nice to know.
Thanks for the info. About time we see some of the IBK fighters at the top level in kickboxing.
