Takeru is very willing to eat shots to give shots, and also to showboat/goad his opponent. He's not AS dumb about it as he was when I first saw him fight, but I still stand by my earlier prediction of "one of these days someone will end his loving existence"

Also why do these fighters want to intentionally piss Takeru off, why

has Takeru ever fought outside of Japan?

What's been explained to me is that in MT, the betting lines are open until the last round so a lot of what you see are dudes setting ranges and checking techniques until times to fight for realsies.

I don't know if that's 100% accurate but fights I've watched tend to follow the same pattern.

A week or two ago my facebook memories popped up to remind me of the time hesdy got caught with 128 kg of coke. An impressive feat

I think the final telling on that was Hesdy wasn't anywhere near the cocaine but someone decided to push an investigation because his half-brother was the one in the warehouse.

Led to this great quote from his trainer:
"Hesdy has been framed. He wakes up at 7:30, at 10:00am he trains with me, rests in the afternoon, then in the evening does strength and conditioning and is in bed by 10:00 PM. I cannot imagine that he still would have time for things like this."

There's a very healthy scene in the north, there's usually a few shows a year on at whatever the Reebok stadium is called now in Bolton. Yokkao run events pretty frequently, Tetsuya Yamato (the guy who just lost to Noiri) was over here a couple of years ago and got absolutely loving robbed against Liam Harrison:

They have a bit of a range of shows, so they're not always big world class affairs, but their shows in conjunction with Super Showdown are usually good stuff. The next one of those isn't until late in the year. The next Yokkao card is in Southampton next month but it's one of the more grass roots shows. They've got Manachai signed to their gym, and he's headlining. He's in the Lumpinee rankings so I assume he's good but I don't think I've actually watched him fight since they announced his signing a few years ago.

Isn't the guy who used to commentate for Its Showtime kickboxing pretty heavily involved in that stuff? I vaguely remember his name circulating after the Glory buy out.

There's no way you can pay out a card from the house take so its open season for all sorts of wacky grifter action. That's why dutch organized crime and kickboxing go together so well.

I didn't really see it properly the first time and the ref stoppage seemed a bit premature. Then I saw the replay.


edit: also, someone make a streaming service with all these kickboxing and muay thai shows and I will gladly pay to watch them all. I hate that it is so difficult to watch people try and murder each other with knees and elbows.

outside of Glory on Fightpass, Fite.tv is the only consistent place to watch kicking violence fights. Otherwise you're in for some Truffle Pig Quest poo poo.

it's pretty cool that tenshin is fighting these frankenstein monster thais non stop. that guy's chin was really ridiculous.

One thing I've noticed about thai boxers is they dont get knocked out so much as they decide to stop fighting and lay down. Would not be surprised if Tenshin has to heal a hand break after trying to dent that stone.
