  Woohoo I am the first commenter! Awesome…

  I was not suprised either. I feel though that Sean doesn’t have a nice technique of fighting like Yod, Naru or Soren have. He seemed to run a little too much and it didn’t look professional. Lets see what happens in the next episodes!

• 2 alphadog // Mar 26, 2008 at 3:13 am

  yeah sean’s posture is kinda wierd. like he is tip toeing on both feet with his arse out. but he hits real fast and goes in and out real quick. effective

  I agree that Sean isn’t up there with Yod, Narupol, or Soren, but I think he’s solidly on the next tier down from them. I was really impressed with his technique in the first fight and this fight didn’t do anything to change my mind. He wasn’t as crisp, but anytime you’re fighting a heavy-handed opponent it tends to change things. He did a good job of hitting and moving to keep away from the knockout blow. And he must have some serious power to stop Yukay with a straight body-blow and a leg kick. Good stuff.

  And I wondered if anyone would bring up Seans hadoken…I’ve seen stomping, pointing, and arrow shooting…now I’ve seen it all.

• 5 Shane // Mar 26, 2008 at 5:16 am

  This was one of the better fights of the competition for sure

• 6 Shadyeskimo // Mar 26, 2008 at 9:08 am

  Nice Fight, Better than a lot of the fights earlier. Sean did good but Joakim wasnt all bad, so good one. Did think Sean was going down a second cause of the Slowmotion and Suspence music in the fight. But lets see him against Yodsanklai.

• 7 Gusnark // Mar 26, 2008 at 9:25 am

  Sean did a good job. He’s little stiff, maybe not too technical, but better than Yukay for sure. Has good stamina and is very strong. He’s definitely a surprise in this tournament.
  Next fight should be very interesting and even, if Zidov is not fighting. I think Zidov has no chances to get through this time.

  I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I kind of miss the challenges. It felt like the episode just dragged on…too much talking. The episodes need some kind of middle filler, either more training footage or something.

• 9 TexMT // Mar 26, 2008 at 12:22 pm

  The episodes do drag a little bit without the challenges. I’d like to see more footage of them training, not just some montage series of shots with a voice over about how fighters are spying each other for upcoming fights. I’d think Fairtex would push for more training shots too since it’s all their gear.

  epp 11 also

• 16 Anonymous // Mar 26, 2008 at 2:51 pm

  Thank you Ian for the link! I personally look at JWP as a big bully with no technique for muay thai. imo

• 17 darknest // Mar 26, 2008 at 3:09 pm

  and i supose his no technique got him were he is today or did he bully his way through, lol

• 18 darknest // Mar 26, 2008 at 3:15 pm

  infact explain how you put him as a bully Anonymous or should it be Anonymouse

• 19 Anonymous // Mar 26, 2008 at 4:15 pm

  This is Sean’s 2nd fight where his opponent couldn’t continue due to the leg kicks. He must be doing something right.

• 20 darknest // Mar 26, 2008 at 4:16 pm

  cat got ur tongue lol sorry couldnt resist

• 21 TwoThumbs // Mar 26, 2008 at 4:41 pm

  JWP isn’t a bully !!!

• 22 alekos87 // Mar 26, 2008 at 6:47 pm

  low kick powa

• 23 Greg // Mar 26, 2008 at 11:27 pm

  Hey, I was the Anonymous guy who said “This is Sean’s 2nd fight where his opponent couldn’t continue due to the leg kicks. He must be doing something right”, but not the guy who’s calling JWP a bully.

  I just watched Ep 11 and I think it was great.

• 24 Gusnark // Mar 27, 2008 at 3:13 am

  So Greg, you still think JWP is bully? He is technical, strong and has great personality. Hell, even Yod said that himself. Great to have him here.

• 25 Gusnark // Mar 27, 2008 at 3:15 am

  Sorry Greg, that goes to Anonymous.

• 26 darknest // Mar 27, 2008 at 5:14 am

  lol

• 27 Gio // Mar 27, 2008 at 6:22 am

  Jay dub-yah pee is a legend. Classic Australian muay thai. Not my style, but I know it works!

  Any italians out here?

• 28 Greg // Mar 27, 2008 at 7:25 am

  I liked Sean’s style a lot. He doesn’t depend on power as much as JWP or Yod; he uses timing, distancing and speed to accomplish his goals. Very precise and speedy.

• 29 Benny // Mar 27, 2008 at 11:49 am

  I’ve thought through the competition that Sean’s style was a little weird but it looks like it works pretty darn well. He has great kick power for sure. Sean’s got some juice but what’s up with ripping Bruce’s hairstyle off after Bruce gets beat?

• 30 darknest // Mar 27, 2008 at 3:38 pm

  i agree totaly he has something thats for sure

  “I liked Sean’s style a lot. He doesn’t depend on power as much as JWP or Yod; he uses timing, distancing and speed to accomplish his goals. Very precise and speedy.”

  Who are you? haha. Oh no, there are two Greg’s here now. I guess I’ll change my name. But Greg does agree with Greg. Sean is pretty quick. His kick’s are probably a lot more powerful than they look, based on the results.

• 32 Gio // Mar 27, 2008 at 5:18 pm

  personally, I think the only person sean can’t take on at this point would be Yod. Classic underdog story, huh? from being picked last at the beginning of the competition to being one of the strongest in the final four…

  Speaking of underdogs, ep 11 is truly inspirational…my favourite episode to date. That guy has so much heart.

• 33 Ray // Mar 27, 2008 at 6:55 pm

  Gio I completely agree with you, ep 11 is inspirational. Talk about heart.

  JWP a bully?! Perhaps. But then again, I think of anyone that punches me in the face as a bully.

• 34 Greg W // Mar 27, 2008 at 7:24 pm

  Hey Greg, I’ll put my last initial to differentiate us.

• 35 Greg W // Mar 27, 2008 at 7:34 pm

  I think JWP’s demeanor in the ring, and the fact that he’s so powerful makes it seem like he’s a bully, compared to someone like say, Sean, who depends on speed and accuracy to win.

• 36 Chris // Mar 27, 2008 at 9:49 pm

  JWP is a bully, but hell so is Yod. But come on, it is a fight sport, get a life.

• 37 Colargol // Mar 28, 2008 at 4:09 am

  I think Sean is good but at this point Soren is the real darkhorse threat. Dzabar might be stronger than Sean as well… We will see - it’s all coming to a boil now

• 38 Colargol // Mar 28, 2008 at 4:21 am

  Also: LOL @ people who get influenced by the Contender’s ‘predator’ music during the fight and suddenly consider JWP to be a ‘bully’.

• 39 Jamin // Mar 28, 2008 at 4:26 am

  its easy to forget though that Yukay was still carrying an injury from his last fight and Sean hadn’t fought in about 9 weeks….that can make a big difference.

  I really like Sean’s style and disagree with people who say he is not on the same level as Yod, Narupol and Soren. Sean lives in Thailand full time and is the WMC champion…considering he’s only had 33 fights i think he’s well up there.

  I predict that the semi finals will be Yod vs Sean and Dzahber vs JWP

• 40 Cap0 // Mar 28, 2008 at 6:15 am

  haha pirate, Yoddy wanted to kick some ass and where’s the guy who was getting on JWP for having shingles. I hope he now knows that they were chicken pox.

• 41 TwoThumbs // Mar 28, 2008 at 7:49 am

  “where are my shoes?? My green shoes??” Grrr … the pirate is angry! haha!

• 42 Shadyeskimo // Mar 29, 2008 at 12:24 pm

  JWP a Bully?? I dont see it. I dont understand, he is joking a lot, smiling a lot, but not a bully…. Do you mean he tries to hurt his opponent, He he.

• 43 darknest // Mar 30, 2008 at 3:39 am

  its one of the reasons i spoke out because by no means is he a bully and to use the word bully in muay thai is a very strong thing to say as for a lot of younger people in muay thai its a sort of anti bully and self deffence kids read these forums also and people should not send wrong signals

• 44 GregH // Mar 30, 2008 at 4:25 pm

  I don’t understand how anyone can be a “bully” in combat sports. The point of any combat sport is to hurt your opponent. What defines being a bully in MT?

  Now if JWP goes around the world fighting level C guys and knocking them out, then I guess that would make him a bully.

• 45 Dan // Mar 31, 2008 at 9:07 am

  Another great show, Ep. 11. Glad he finally showed us viewers his skills especially when he is calm. Can’t wait to see the final four.

  JWP a bully??? He is the friendliest member of the Tiger Kings.

• 46 Chris // Apr 1, 2008 at 9:32 pm

  All I am saying is that in a sport where the ultimate goal is to physically hurt the other guy, calling someone a bully is a moot point.

• 47 darknest // Apr 2, 2008 at 11:24 am

  i totaly agree it was sort of my point from the start
  just watched epp 12 sort of disapointing but was the outcome i expected

• 48 darknest // Apr 2, 2008 at 11:29 am

  GregH

  did you say

  “Now if JWP goes around the world fighting level C guys and knocking them out, then I guess that would make him a bully.”

  if the class c fighter is willing to take a shot thats up to him and as far as im concerned that makes it open season and to mention bully in that is total bs

• 49 darknest // Apr 2, 2008 at 11:38 am

  if u wanted a shot at a title and lost against him would you use the excuse he was a bully lol wake up and smell the coffee to many people hide behind crap like that

• 50 GregH // Apr 2, 2008 at 4:27 pm

  darknest: What I mean is if a pro fighter goes around challenging only fighters who are clearly many notches below him, just so that he can feel good about himself by beating the shit out of them, then I think he’s a bully.

  About the title shot, I think there is a reason behind the system that determines who gets the title shot. In general, crap fighters do not get title shots because: 1. It’s a waste of time and money, and 2. They’re just going to end up getting hurt or killed.

  I don’t think JWP is a bully, so I don’t know what this argument is about, hehe
