The Moon-Galaxy Rivalry

Khaosai did have good powers of recovery though. Well, from what I've seen his tremendous power either made his opponents wary of attempting to finish him or bailed him out.

 

I think Mantequilla would be able to add a lot to this, he's big on both guys as far as I remember.

Just intrigued to see if anyone knows why Moon got so battered in the second fight? As I say, it was still competitive but he seemed to have lost a lot of the strength he had in the first fight for portions of the rematch. Again, Khaokor was very strong in his own right.

I agree with you Pea on the muay thai guard, a bit strange just pawing both hands out in front of you. But he had very good reflexes and slipping too.

 

my thoughts exactly.

To be honest I was so surprised anyone could dominate Moon so comprehensively. Especially when you consider Moon would go on to force Konadu to quit.

 

First bold; agreed.

2nd bold; Khaokor very good at turning his opponent.

Think it would be close. I think Khaosai is often unfairly slated due to that infamous Ring Mag list I just feel Khaokor is more varied.

At say a 116.5 catchweight? :good

Glad you enjoyed the fights mate :good

 

Now personally I can't see Khaokor beating the 'holy trinity'; Olivares, Zarate or Jofre.

Which fighters do you guys think he could beat? I think he'd tame and possibly stop Rafa Marquez. Is that 'his level'?

 

Thanks :good

My next 'analysis' (more observations I guess) is of Harada-Jofre 1. Hope you enjoy that too, when I get round to it

 

well he did. That was the result. I'm gonna try and figure out 'Why'? :good

 

At the same time Khaosai is solid. Khaosai is the harder puncher; he has very heavy hands and seemed an awesome finisher from what I've seen (which is a lot but against middling-to-fair opposition)

To me Khaosai is like Khaokor in destroy mode but with more power. same planting of the feet, subtle movements cutting off the ring, a plodding movement with the awkward Muay Thai guard and well-timed/delivered shots.

Two things; I don't think the size is such an issue. They're twins! Khaosai is also just about the most beastly looking super-fly I have ever seen. I just think that whilst the Bantam Brother could slip in and out of 'seek and destroy mode', I haven't seen much evidence that Khaosai can do much else apart from destroy, although of course he did that very, very well. There is no doubt in my mind that is entirely feasible that Khaosai could knock out 118lb men; Men with the chin of his Brother? Yeah, I reckon so. One thing Khaosai is NOT overrated in is his sheer power, which even against average opposition was evident.

I have just realised that I have been my 'subjects' name wrong for the entire thread; It's Kaokor, not kHaokor as I am been spelling itatsch

Again, thanks to everyone for their contributions, how do you guys see Kaokor measuring up against other 'ATG's'?

A fight I'm thinking about at the moment is Kaokor vs Jeff Chandler.

Also, re: his final match. He was sparked in the 1st round but I'm reliably informed this seemed very, very dodgy indeed (Kaokor's proven chin being an obvious indication) with a supposed 'delayed reaction'. Has anyone seen it and if so, doe it look odd?
