One of the trainers at my gym is Petchpanomrung Kiatmookao's coach/manager, he said this afternoon that he still has to break the news to him. What a way to find out that you're the last Glory featherweight champ

Did anyone watch this Tenshin match with ex-K1er Koji? Tenshin winning was not surprising at all but Koji took a ton of hard shots to the head but would not go down. Like 3 or 4 knees directly to the face. Oh also apparently Tenshin is quitting kickboxing to go full time boxing. LAME. Didn’t even get a fight with Takeru.

The promo shot used as a headshot reminds me of how all the Team Alpha Male guys had those silly art shots to look cooler.
Except it is kinda cool that these gangsters have kickboxing headshots to use when they inevitably get caught.

K-1 is on right now. Takeru fights last in a couple hours. Just now a young Japanese dude knocked out a grizzled Thai vet. I don’t fully understand these match ups. Is it like this Thai guy’s too old to compete in Thailand any more so he goes to Japan for the money to face shithead upstarts who have thrown less punches in their career than he’s taken to the face?

stop the fucking fight, cornerman, your dude is fucking done and is about to be killed.

Japan has pivoted to attempting to have the best athletes in the world at sports no one cares about.

We're they amateurs? Is that why they were wearing head gear? If so their pros must all be tenshin levels.

Yeah, it’s the K-1 Koshien tournament for 18U kickboxers. (The name is a reference to Japan’s national HS baseball tournament at Koshien Stadium.)

It does seem prudent to always just assume Badr Hari is in jail / under arrest.

Petrosyan's 35, but has been fighting since 2003. Could just be catching up to him?

OTOH, he simply let Superbon throw the same kick 3 times.

Cro-Cop was a south paw, and so it was right leg hospital, left leg cemetery. Also, it was a cool catchprase :colbert:

Found out from the Rizin buildup that Tenshin is planning on retiring to focus on boxing?
His 'exhibition' with Gomi looked exactly like whenever I see kickboxing people spar boxing only rules.

The spacing, the missing kicks in combos, the lack of punctuating with hard punches -- I'm really surprised he wants to do this. Why spend so much time rebuilding his skillset?

Dr.Radical

I guess because it’s actually a challenge for him. Although I wonder what would happen if he went to Thailand and did proper Muay Thai. Became a stadium champion, took a thousand elbows to the head. Not enough money in that I guess

Y'all need to see Verhooeven vs Ben Saddik 3 (if you haven't already): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbaSBzRktfw&t=1397s

Their previous match was 3 years ago and was also pretty dope.
