Experts and ringers said: After watching the first couple of rounds from ringside, Badr Hari will have nothing to worry about and he’ll have no sleepless nights ahead of their scheduled match at the Amsterdam Arena in May. Judged on the evidence of this his latest outing Gerges struggled to impress against Balrak.

However, heavyweight Gerges has attracted some great reviews of late and that was down to wins over K-1 regional tournament winners Ruslan Karaev and Paul Slowinski.

Let the truth be told, Gerges will need to have a dramatic improvement in performance to stand a chance of sharing the ring never mind beating Badr Hari. The Chakuriki fighter trained by Thom Harinck gets a chance to sharpen up and prove the critics wrong that it may have just been an off night when he faces Attila Karacs in Milan later this month.

Ashwin Balrak who fights out of (Team Perfect) has never fought in Japan on a K-1 event and despite having his 27th heavyweight match and now after a good match against Gerges its time that the fighting lawyer got some justice.
