BADR HARI'S OPPONENT FOR IT’S SHOWTIME AMSTERDAM ARENA IS OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED



 

There were rumors for quite a while, but finally it’s official: Hesdy Gerges will be Badr Hari’s opponent for IT’S SHOWTIME in the Amsterdam ArenA, May 29.
Hesdy has had a terrific year in 2009, in which he accepted a fight in Japan versus Sem Schilt, only 1 day prior to the event. After that, he absolutely outclassed Ruslan Karaev and showed Karaev what kickboxing really means. As if that wasn’t enough, Hesdy also defeated Paul Slowinski.

Despite of the fact that Hesdy is not yet very well-known to the mainstream public, he is the upcoming man in the heavyweight division. A pungent detail about this fight is that Hesdy’s current trainer, Thom Harinck, was Badr Hari’s trainer 5 years ago.

Both Badr Hari and Hesdy Gerges are really looking forward to make this fight a complete war on May 29. Hesdy was originally matched against Daniel Ghita, but for Ghita another opponent will be found.

I think Hesdy Gerges (altough a bit early in his carreer) is perfect for Hari.
Aerts and Le Banner are not fit for Hari with only 1 or 2 fights a year.

Aerts should have a lot fights, to get his speed and spirit back.
Hesdy is menacing and hungry and deserves this chance.
