Movie Reviews of Pride 34: Kamakazi
Movie Review: Was anyone else extremely disappointed with this event?
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm a huge Pride fan, but this event is horrible. I did enjoy some of it, which is why I gave it 3 stars. But it probably deserves 2 stars. I'll explain. I was at the store trying to decide which Pride event I was going to buy. This DVD had 4 fights I was looking forward to, so I figured that would be good enough. But none of the fights were very good. James Thompson hits like a 270 pound girl in his fight against Don Frye, and Don Frye runs out of gas about 1 minute into the fight. Talk about unprepared, it's a 10 minute first round! To me that is disrespectful to the sport when a guy takes on a fight and he can only throw a few punches before he tires himself out.
Kazuyuki Fujita is one of my favorite fighters, but he's facing a guy named Jeff Monson who is obviously a great wrestler. I don't know anything about him, but you can tell by his body build that he is a wrestler. And I can't help but mention how ugly he is. Wow. Anyways, it is a boring fight. Sad to see Fujita get older, but I still love to watch him fight, even in a boring match like this. It's not that it was completely boring, but you could tell that Monson had no intention of standing up and facing Fujita's heavy hands, so he only tried to take him to the ground. But Fujita could have done more. Maybe I should have just said disappointing fight. That would have summed it up better.
Kazuhiro Nakamura is another one of my favorite fighters, but he doesn't fight. It says he does fight on the back of the DVD, but he doesn't. So now you can see why I was disappointed with this DVD.
The 4th fight I was looking forward to was Ricardo Arona vs Sokoudjou. Sokoudjou came out of nowhere in his first fight and knocked out Noguiera (Minotauro's brother, I think. I am always mixing those guys up). Sokoudjou's fight against Arona ends in similar fashion. I would really like to see Sokoudjou fight more, but I don't know where to see him. Get ready for a rant here, sorry. I don't know where to see any of my favorite fighters anymore. All of my favorite fighers are from Pride. Every time I see a UFC event there's all these bad fighters in the preliminary rounds. The overall quality of fighters is so much lower than Pride. In my opinion of course. I can't even watch the UFC. It's too depressing. I mean where are all of my favorite fighters? Fedor, Gomi, Crocop, Sakurai, Mark Hunt... The only way I can watch Fedor is in these Russian Sambo matches that people post on the net. and thank you so much to those people! He had a nice little fight with his brother not too long ago. Check it out. But there's something that's just not right when watching fedor fight in these Sambo matches. The audience usually has about 15-20 people. That's a little different than 40,000-50,000. he doesn't deserve this. Possibly the greatest fighter, ever, fighting in front of about 20 people.
If you are looking for good Pride Events, then there are plenty that you can get instead of this. All of the Shockwave events, the Bushido tournament and most of the other Bushido events, and of course the Pride volumes 1-5. Each volume has 5 Pride events. Events 1-30. a really great deal. Pride picked up slowly, but when it got going there was no way anyone could stop it. At least that's what I thought.
