The first time I saw a video of a Ramon Dekkers fight I knew I had to train in Muay Thai.

I have to say my favorite fighter for some reason and the guy that's partially the reason for getting me into mt is Michael McDonald. Something about that dudes style just makes me have to watch in awe.

Sakmongkol vs Perry Ubeda

....good fight with a painful ending

 

[Slihn]

I have noticed that the most exciting fights seem to be between Thai's and Western fighters with good boxing techniques,have you guys noticed that as well?I guess it because of the difference the way Westerns practice Muay Thai compared to the Thais.It seems like we focus more on boxing and footwork as oppose to the Thai focusing on kicks and clinching.I have noticed this as well in my training.I currently study Diamond/Dutchman Muay Thai,they have some AWESOME boxing combinations!! Footwork,attacking and retreating in angles and combinations are HIGHLY emphasized!!!When I was taking traditional Muay Thai kicks and knees where the main course of the day!We did hundreds of kicks and knees per session.(dont get me wrong we worked on other attacks but kicks where highly emphasized).Traditional Muay Thai also put far more emphazies on elbow attacks(both in attack and defense)

Maybe thats way its so entertaining to watch,the clash of "styles" makes it that much more intresting!

Rofus vs Akebono
(Classic David and Goliath bout)

 

[savior]

cro cop and bob sapp was another david and goliath match

 

[Thunder Foot]

I hear you Slihn. Those fights are really great! I'm more a fan of the Lumpinee bouts though, hehe. I personally believe that the reason the West focuses so much on boxing however, is because elbows aren't widely allowed in the States. There are a few who allow them with restrictions, but once they become FULLY available, I believe more people will follow the tradition the Thai's have laid out. Just my personal opinion tho. :asian:
