ESB ATGs Muay Thai / KickBoxing fighters Thread

I'm not gonna' get shot or kidnapped for being a skinny White boy am I Vic? ;-)

 

Good man :good It will be next year so we'll have time to talk :yep I'll bring my gi and white belt if you know of a BJJ school where I can get my ass kicked

EDIT: And hot chicks. You will have to point me in the right direction :rofl :good

 

He can really punch with the right hand! Nice find Vic, he's a big guy too, when he fills out his frame he will be a monster!

I train Muay Thai next month too...good luck with the surgery!

 

Fairtex in Pattaya!!?! Probably Bangplee :think

Great kicker, nice pic' and good work Vic :good

 

Good luck to your freind Vic.

 

As he's not a mate of yours I can be a bit cruel and honest considering he's on an ATG thread. :yep

Good experience for the Brazilian lad and to be fair you can only beat what's in front of you, but I didn't rate his opponents, they weren't proper fighters in training, probably low level ex fighters out for a small payday. He should have got them out of there way earlier considering he's the fit trained fighter, but he looked one dimensional just kicking each time to the mid section and then going heavy with the hands. His kicks were slow and his punches lacked power cos he was fighting in a panic, he should have slowed down and realxed into the fight, picked his shots like a Thai, he would have learnt more. I was impressed he did the Wai Kru though!!!

Maybe I'm being a bit harsh, maybe he's a novice fighter, but this thread has some legendary names in it. (I feel bad now)

He proabaly wasn't in Thailand for long, but a good experience for his future soaking up a Thai camp and observing techniques and particulalrly the tempo of a Thai gym, which will help the rythem and pace of his fighting in the future. Good luck to him, he's out there giving it a go.:good

 

Sorry about the slow reply on Apidet (which I think is the best Romanisation), need to grab half an hour to sit and enjoy them. I'm pretty familar with Apidet, now I see him fight, I can't always remember the names of the golden oldies, I'm 37 so gettin on a bit.

The first clip is a thing of beauty, thanks for posting it. :good The sequence form 3.50.....spinning elbow to monster left hook to lead left leg to solar......****in hell. :happy:happy:happy Nice sequance at the end of him passing the wisdom on.

The second clip shows just how heavy he hit with both his feet and hands. Every shot seemed to be loaded with thunderbolts of pain. He always looks a weight class above who he's fighting so he must have been a master at cutting weight. The one thing I would say though is he really seems to over commit sometimes and be open for nasty counters, but I guess cos of his natural strength and size he could get away with it.

The third clip is intersting cos if you listen to the commentary it's basically saying how slow he looks because...........:yikes HE'S 34 :yikes ........fighting an 18 year old. 34 in Thai Muay Thai is pensioner status. The commentator is saying that if Apidet was 10 years younger there is no way Poodparnoi could handle him, no doubt looking at the first clip.

A true ATG, nice one Vic.:thumbsup

 

Apidej proves your theories on Muay Thai training boran, the one technique at a time thing. Then, you're prepared to throw any shot at any time. (I think it was you who said that)

You can tell me must've been a pad/bag master. He smashes those shots in, especially in the sequence you earmarked as impressive, the elbow, left hook then the kick. Didn't throw it all in succession, he blasted, stepped out of range, blasted, waited, then blasted.

Most Thai's keep that patience and ability to spot a shot when they move into international boxing. Borkorsor, against Herrera, demonstrated this to it's pinnacle IMO.
