Push Kick Promotions recently put on a great card. Sadly I wasn’t able to attend but I was able to help train Neungsiam for his fight with Ognjen, an up and coming Nak Muay from the East Coast. No disrepect to Ognjen, but I thought Neungsiam underperformed here. Maybe it was ring rust, but given his experience and credentials I think he could have done a much better job. Ce la vie! Thanks to Technicolor Tiger for the download.

It is hard to pay respect to a fighter when suggesting that the credentials and experience of his opponent should have produced a victory. Maybe it was just Ognjen taking the fight just where it needed to go.

Good fight, i told y’all O.T. would do well, he didn’t win but he made it competitive. (I was completely wrong about the Matt Embree fight, Lerdsila is just ridiculous, i always thought his style was more flash than bang, but i was wrong…so i have my foot in my mouth for that one). Neungsiam’s veteran instinct kicked in and he caught Ognjen’s rhythm and started taking advantage of it towards the end of the fight though, i think it was a fair decision.

Is there any videos for the Lerdsilla fight?Or any of the others form this card?

Wait, so when a Thai loses he “underperforms” or “didn’t train enough” or “didn’t take the fight seriously”??? Where’s the excuses for the westerners when they lose? haha Alright…fair enough. Damn, it’s like if you aren’t Thai you get zero credit or benefit of the doubt around here. I feel for you non-thai nak muays. *pours out liquor*

I’m just saying that i think Topic fought very well here…And the fact that neungsiam won this one just makes the “underperformance” comment even more disheartening! “Yo man, you fought well, but i think you only got that split decision loss because your opponent felt under the weather.”…Way to rub salt in the wound of the guy who had the fight of his life against a Thai vet. Love it!

wow that was a great fight.I dont know anything about Topic but he looked great in this.Good strong relaxed style.what weight does he fight?Based on this fight hes got the nicest (aesthetically) style of any US boxer Iv seen so far.Looked a bit weak in the clinch.If he tightened that up reakon he’l be a big force in US MT.
Im basing this just on watching this fight and nothing else, but you saying that Nuengsiam under performed.I’m thinking that as is usually typical with experienced Thais it looks very much that hes fighting well out of his weight here.Lazy to lose weight and expecting a walk in the park with the farrang.Looks like he expected to be able to train but not to have to worry to much abut fighting at a competetive weight and Topic was both too good and too big to be an easy fight.

He’s only had a few pro fights, but he’s legit from North Jersey Muay Thai. I remember seeing him training at Kaewsamrit (i think) many years back. We need more guys with a nice style like this in the states.

I have to say, Topic did well. Didn’t know him, but he got good techniques, reflexes and I can see him becoming better and better with some more experience. I was surprised how well he did, but Neungsiam did fairly enough to win it, but Topic made him work for the victory. Good fight!

Neungsiam did very well considering his age and wear and tear. Father time will get you one day.. its reality.

When Neungsiam gets in his rhythm… It get’s real!

ONE fight i see of this guy Ognjen and he already looks better than the so-called best american nak muays that mmt promotes…..funny? yes. surprising? not really.

I was at these Fights, The Fight Card was pretty good but not very Eventful. The Hitman-Hollenback fight was canceled which I was VERY disappointed to hear,Than Malaipet was supposed to step in and replace Hitman which I was excited to hear as I saw Malaipet walking around the venue looking very fit.They eventually canceled that fight as well due to some last minute medical physical snafu that came up. B.S.
Ive been to many MT fights and for some reason in this card all the Thai fighters fought with no sense of urgency or Desire to win.This left a bad taste in my mouth as I had brought along 2 friends who were new to Muay Thai and I had built up the fights beforehand and promised some excitement only to be let down.
I will still continue to support M.T. In L.A. no matter what.

Neungsiam was injured for this bout. He had both calves either sprained or torn. He didn’t even kick pads much the last 2 weeks before the fight. He was going to pull out of the card as well, but was persuaded not to via money talks.
