Talking about Napoleon, he used to explain how he divides his soldiers using two qualities: Intelligence and Speediness

Smart and slow are the higher rankings, in charge of the strategies and big decisions
Smart and fast are the middle ranking, who lead the battles and make fast decisions
Dumb and slow are plain soldiers who will die for glory

What about the dumb and fast? “We just kill right here, so they don’t scrude up in the battlefield”, Napoleon used to say.

I wonder if Rafik would survive these days…

I don’t know about you guys, but I think that the reason Rafik could stay in there with Yod that long, was because he’s a southpaw as well. IMO that kinda weakens Yods left roundhouse, which I think is his main weapon

Yeah, “Frenchie, BIG Mouth, little heart” as Yod calls him out on the Contender. I am sure frenchie is a nice guy in person but he surely represent France as an arogant bastard like Napoleon ….arrgant, gutsy but small brain if he had any…LOL…

So why didn’t Rafik get back up to fight after the knee – he didnt look that winded from it – where’s the french fighting spirit? Yeah, that stomping on corners looked very very overdone and asshole-ish. Seems like for most Farang fighters, any sort of talent goes hand in hand with a great deal of arrogance – something that seems to afflict the Thais much less (except maybe JWP).

Damn! One of the most exciting first rounds I’ve seen in a long time! At least for a “real” thai fight fought in Thailand.

Vive la France!!!…France was always good at Muay Thai and after Thailand and Holland we (France) come third (Japan being a close 4th). Damn I wish Dany Bill was still at the top of his game.
