K-1 "Battle at Bellagio III:" The Weigh-Ins By Michael Afromowitz muaythaimes@aol.com On the eve of the second Las Vegas Pay-Per-View televised K-1 event of 2004, the theme was slim and trim as the majority of the competitors looked admirably fit when they stepped on the official weigh-in scale. Without question, the most surprising number posted on the scale was that by 2000 K-1 World Grand Prix Finals runner-up, Ray Sefo. At a slender 228 pounds, the 5 foot 11 inch fighter came in approximately 30 pounds lighter than he did for last December’s Tokyo Dome tournament. Sefo has attributed the considerable weight difference to a previous illness that caused him to blow up immediately prior to the December playoff. Recently, he has also reiterated his renewed commitment to securing his first major K-1 championship. Below is a breakdown of the official "Battle at Bellagio III" fighter weights that were recorded earlier today. The fighters are paired according to their respective matchups: Tournament Fighters: Bracket A: Carter Williams – 242 lbs. Jorgen Kruth – 230 lbs. Bracket B: Jan Nortje – 323 lbs. "Mighty Mo" – 281 lbs. Reserve Fighter: Alex Jucan – 245 lbs. Superfight Fighters: Marvin Eastman – 214 lbs. Rick Roufus – 217 lbs. Dewey Cooper – 202 lbs. Preliminary Card Fighters: Anthony Brown – 181 posted by Full Contact Fighter @ 8:00 pm
