Badr Hari cut a swathe through kickboxing in the last days of K-1, simultaneously known as its Golden Boy and its Bad Boy.
Not only was Hari head and shoulders above many of the men he fought in terms of technique, his punching power was unmatched. When he got going, and he felt he had his opening, Hari was a force of nature. Just ask Semmy Schilt. Schilt has been stopped only twice in the course of his incredible career, and it had been five years since the first time when Hari met him in 2009. The fury that Hari unleashed upon Schilt in that bout was enough to give even a hardened fight fan goosebumps. As Hari bombarded the giant, Schilt seemed to shrink to half of his usual size.
