Lim Chi-bin is a K-1 fighter boasting a record of 9 wins, 6 losses in his K-1 career. Despite his not so great record, he's still probably the best Korea has to offer in his weight class. Notable wins include erm...other Koreans. I did have the pleasure of seeing him fight at the K-1 Max Seoul 2009 tournament which he ended up winning after beating three opponents in one night (hey improving your record from 6-6 to 9-6 in one night, not bad!) Pretty exciting fighter, and the dude can take a hit like a champ. His match against Lee Su-hwan in the final was exciting as hell, despite being knocked down twice he was able to win by KO in the first round. With that regional tournament victory, he gets seeded into the Final 16 for the K-1 2009 Grand Prix. His first opponent will be Taishin Kohiruimaki (who has beaten Lim Chi-bin previously). We'll see how the fight goes this time.
Me shaking hands with Lim Chi-bin after he won the tournament. Nice guy.
My analysis: Honestly I don't have a ton to say about him other than he was exciting as hell to watch fight at the K-1 Max Seoul event. Seems like a good guy, and I like him as a fighter. Hope the guy improves and finds some success.
