Yes Yuichiro was ill prepared for this match. Kraus has longer arm reach and faster punches. His legs are longer too but he's bad at kicking. Kraus always has a tough time against kickers. Yuichiro might have done better if he had kept Kraus at distance with kicks, pushed him away every time he kicked so he lost balance, and slowly wore him down, then moved in for the knock out if he was tired enough, otherwise go for punches, as kicks don't score enough points to win a match.

Heck, he's in better shape and a better fighter than I am. Nevertheless, Sinjitsu does have a point with that Yuichiro just didn't have the proper focus for this fight, due to all his "side distractions", and against a fighter like Kraus, who's indeed a former K-1 Max champion, that's just a fatal mistake to make. The cosplay antics/mind games work fine against other beginners/journeymen fighters, but against a veteran, you're going to need a new bag of tricks. I wouldn't call him a loser myself.

Second time he got caught it was a right uppercut and left hook combo. Third and final time was indeed the flurry of shots which started with the body shot and ended with the left and right hooks, just blasting through what little defense Yuichiro had left. Imo, he just underestimated his opponent too much. Kraus has experience, power and a good chin. You take such an opponent too lightly, by focusing on non-essential stuff like who to cosplay or what costume to stick him in, and you're going to get caught. Would've been more prudent not to get under such a guy's skin. Stuff like that only motivates them to train even harder and be even more focused. You'd want him to underestimate you, not vice versa. Just my 2 copper pieces though. Actually, that "slip" at 2:40 into the fight wasn't so much a slip as him getting dinged by a looping left hook as well.

I just love all the internet tough guys bashing Yuichiro and several other fighters when they lose, when they aren't close to getting into K-1 or any other high level fighting competition.

In UFC you have a perfect example of that on Quinton Jackson. He was a punching bag for Wanderlei Silva in PRIDE. A few years later and he can knockout Silva on the first round. That's the evolution of a fighter, they don't spend time crying and feeling humilliated about a loss, they accept it and train harder so that it won't happen again.
