It looks like it’s going to be a pretty good month for European Muay Thai fans. As you know I’ve just moved to the UK and last week I finally got around to submitting my visa paperwork. The bitch of the whole process is that I had to hand in my passport for about 6 months. It essentially means my ass is on lockdown.
On the 24th of this month, our friends in Paris will be treated to an all-star lineup. The line up includes Anuwat, Sanchai , Narupol, and Attachai. I’m not sure who’ll they’ll be fighting yet… if any of you guys know, please share. Anyone interested can get their tix here. [Read more →]
I’ll leave you this week with Warren Stevelmans & Gago Drago. I don’t know a great deal about Stevelmans but I know that he’s fighting Andy Souwer in the first round of the K-1 Max finals.
Based on what I’ve seen here he’s capable of dropping some bombs… is it enough to get past Souwer? I think Definitely not. Having a peek at the bracket I think Souwer has an excellent chance of being in the finals again this year. [Read more →]
Wow, does anyone feel like making a bet? To be honest I think that’s the first time I’ve seen advertising like that in a fight.
How much would you do it for? I’m cheap I’d probably take $5k… Anyway I think the last time I covered Nicky was back when he was fighting Buakaw. I think he’s got some work before he’s ready for the final 8. This was from last weeks K-1 Amsterdam. [Read more →]
Many Thanks to our Dutch friend Therealestofall for taking the time to rip and share this fight with us. If you haven’t already I want you guys to go fill in the captions for our Buakaw Headlines contest… to clarify, you just need to submit one headline…
Hopefully we’ll get some more submissions this week, I’ll have you guys vote on the best caption and I’ll see if we can’t get Antarai to kick in a shirt.
Anyway, oh to the interesting stuff… this was the white lotus’s latest fight in Amsterdam. [Read more →]
Our good friend Colargol posted some pics from fighttalk.nl of our boy Buakaw in Amsterdam.
Caption #1
Buakaw tried to get his groove on, but the game killer Mitch was always close behind…
These pics are classic, I love seeing pics of Nak Muay’s outside of the ring… there are so many WTF pictures, that I’m going to hold a contest. [Read more →]
This article was originally written for The Bangkok Post. I don’t know why they do this, but they essentially don’t archive any of their stories… if you don’t read them on that day on the website your SOL.
