K-1 MAX Quarter Final Results from Spain

The second half of the K-1 MAX Quarter Finals took place yesterday in Gran Canaria, Spain. Enriko Kehl, Maximo Suarez, Sung Hung Lee, and Elam Ngor were all looking to punch their ticket to the tournament semi-finals. 

Kehl who was originally set to fight in the quarterfinals that took place this past December in China fought Suarez and had no problem . Kehl was clearly the better fighter of the two as he was a step ahead of Suarez, in the end the official verdict was a unanimous decision for Kehl.

Lee and Ngor fought a very tight and technical fight that could have gone either way when it was over. In the end Lee won the fight by split decision.

Kehl and Lee now join Buakaw Banchamek and Shane Campbell in the K-1 MAX Semi-Finals.
