YouTube- Kizaemon Saiga vs. Fire Harada

The pretty boy is Kizaemon Saiga who in the video above is beating the ever loving **** out of "Fire" Harada.

I know all fighters just have off days and etc... but WHAT THE **** JUST HAPPENED!?

Now Fire once got kneed in the face and lost 6 of his teeth. I also saw comments on youtube stating that he had a punctured lung or some **** during a fight and kept going. If you look up his interviews and what not he comes off as this really sweet, really honest, no b/s kind of guy and he is known for having an aggressive always forward moving style (think Bovy Sor Udomsorn or Mike Zambidis). A real kind hearted type.

My question does he have some kind of mental problem/taken too many bumps on the head? What the **** was this guy thinking holding his hands at his hips the entire fight!?

I give this guy huge props for stepping up but this is ridiculous. He was a walking punching bag the entire fight. Does this guy have some kind of neurological impediment? Can any of the Japanese or doctor Bullies throw me some insight?

I don't know anything about fire harada but if he really is as awesome as you say and he suddenly fight like this then maybe he got a bribe... Pretty boy doesn't seem that impressive really.. it is just that fire harada didn't really put up a fight.

I know only a little about him, I don't think "Fire" was ever a formidable fighter. I think the Japanese love him for exactly the reason stated: he has a ton of heart.

..and he is extremely humble.
He tends to be a little undisciplined in his strikes imo, wild hooks etc.
It looks like he just got beaten by a cleaner fighter, imo.
Saiga is a tool, but he won that bout easily.

Being durable is not equivalent to being talented.

I read somewhere that he was a #2 ranked fighter at 63 kilos in some org called JNet Kickboxing or something like that. I think this guy, while I admit has a ton of heart and could kick my ass, might seriously have a mental problem. He fights like Sirc does right before he gets dropped, hands down and face waiting.

That looks like a good ole fashioned ass beating to me =P.

Seriously, he looked winded in the first round, was backing up the whole fight, and exhibited none of the timing or power of the other fighter. Seems like everything was just off for him.

Not to be insulting, but Fire looked plain clumsy. Especially on his leg kicks and overhand rights, it's like he couldn't find his balance before or after throwing. Should've been stopped after the first round, his corner needed to throw in the towel.

EDIT: Oh...I get it. His footwork and posture are terrible. No wonder he looked off balance and kept ducking into punches.
