Enriko Kehl
Southpaw with a straight left down the middle and a heavy low kick, comfortable at the pace a one-night tournament demands.
Enriko Kehl won the 2014 K-1 World MAX final against Buakaw, and the way he won it is the best illustration on this site of why the extension round matters. The scheduled rounds ended level. Under K-1 rules a draw is not declared — an extension round is fought — and Buakaw did not come out for it, leaving Kehl the title.
The result is often dismissed for that reason, which is unfair in both directions. Kehl had fought a nineteen-year-old’s tournament to reach a final against the most recognisable fighter in the division, and the rule that decided it is a published rule that both men agreed to compete under. If the extension round is a legitimate way to settle a fight — and every K-1 and GLORY card says it is — then it settles this one.
He has since fought across Wu Lin Feng and ONE, and remains one of the more technically complete southpaws in the lighter divisions.
