K-1:WorldMax 

Over10 Years ago, Patrick Ayuyu was fighting as a semi-professional kickboxer in Japan  and formerly announced as “TheToganiTyson” . Togani for the gym that he trained in, and Tyson for his physical likeness to the controversial, and many would agree, legendary, former professional boxer. 

After more than a decade after a 3year career of 18 accumulated fights in amateur and professional kickboxing and only two losses by decision , after a unanimous decision loss ina world title fight in frnt of 23,00fans at the Ariake Coliseum in Tokyo, Ayuyu returned to the Marianas where he went undefeated in two kick boxing matches in Jungle Rules 1 and 2 ,and another two in Fury and Fighting Islands Rota, and a mixed amrtial arts bout in Fury6. Ayuyu then left to train with Enson Inoue in Japan and continued his streak going undefeated with bouts in Italy,

Thailand, and as an undercard fighter in K-1.

 Ayuyu fought his biggest career fight to date in his first bout against Dago Drago athe K-1WorldMax 16ManTournament.  FirstRound: Pat comes out aggressively and pushes Drago back for most of the round staying inside. Lands more punches than Drago and looks like he’s leading like hes controlling the fr the first two minutes. The round heats up with Ayuyu and Drago exchanging more strikes in the pocket where Drago eventually lands a lerge left hok sending Pat reeling towards the corner but in god recovery under Dragos blows until the bell rings ending the round. 

Round 2 heats up with Drago coming out more aggressively and Ayuyu just as happy to stay and exchange in the pocket with Drago unleashing his arsenal with foot thrusts and head kicks, eventually dropping Pat to the mat with ahead kick. Drago also lands a solid spinning back kick t the head. But Pat answers back with flurry f punches that Drago blcked with the rund ending in Drag’s favor. Round3.Excitement. Pats looking a bit mre winded but doesn’t stopt he attacking with Drago landing an axe kick t the head of Pat and then a body kick sending Pat to the canvas. Pat Rises fr anther vilent exchange with Drago landing anther headkick and then back ta notherleft  bodykick sending Pat to the canvas before Pat returns with a big right hol where Drago evades, returning with a left hook that sends Ayuyu to the mat for the third and final time. Patrick Ayuyu suffers his first Knockout loss with only 4secnds left in the final round.  A full house at the Green Arena in Hirshima cheered as Drago advanced and KO highlight reels played on the big screens while Pat walked got up and walked off on his own as camers and media waiting for interviews and photos of Gori-chan while fans got their pens, papers, and cameras ready for autographs of and photos with the new K-1 fighter that, despite his loss, had the entire arena cheering for another exciting fight at the World’s Most Prestigious Kickboxing event. Pat, talk to us about the fight: 

“First, I would never have been here if nt for the fguidance and friendship of Enson Inoue, Sangtiennoi, and all the boys back home in the islands.’Thank You for everything. I will make you proud.I thought it was going to be a brawl but for the most part it was much more strategic than I anticipated. I am not going to make any excuses, I gave my best and Drago beat me. He was tough. He was fast. He was strong.But instead of defending, I just kept fighting forward. It was a good time of spirit. Despite all my hard training, he saw holes in my game and was able to capitalize on them. Fortunately so have I and Im going to train even harder and come back even better. The progress never stops for me. Neither does it for them. I know that. 

 

“Its an honor for me to compete at this level, these are the world’s best fighters, K-1 is the world’s best event, but I come from great islands. I belong here, so do we (The Marianas).  Its going to be a hard road ahead. This is kickboxing at its best.but it’s the HagaChamoru that gives me the Spirit in Fighting. We are a great fighting people. Our heart is strong.YamatoDamashii. Live as a Man. Fight as a Man. Die as a

Man.”

“GodBless You. Thanks for Your support. United We stand. I will keep on fighting.” .

 Before his fight, the production at K-1 put on the events big screens, a chant by Jay Pascual, video footage fromteh guys at Fury, and a compilation finalized by the guys at www.67one.com. A large part of it says”Reveal the Spirit of Your Ancestors”.  And reveal our spirit he did. Fall down seven time. Get up eight. 

 

A beast in training. A Chamoru in Life. And today, a winner in defeat. PatrickAyuyu is a K-1Fighter. http://www.k-1.co.jp/k-1gp/top829.htm www.hodyjaehuh.comhttp://www.hodyjaehuh.com/news/news.php?action=fullnews&id=156
