Dieselnoi on Thaipads

Another clip of Dieselnoi in training. What a knee smashing machine! That padholder is one tough guy to be doing this on a daily basis with him!

Dieselnoi Chamuekpet training

Training clip of the famous Diesel Noi. It's hard to get any clips of this famous fighter so this is a gem! Dieselnoi doing clinch work and padwork. I would really hate to be on the receiving end of his knees.

Tyrone Spong Warming Up Fights Exclusive Footage by Rayen Bindraban

Tyron Spong is one of the big name Dutch fighters. Great fighter, known for his skills and power. He fights alot in full Muay Thai rules which is unusual for Dutch fighters. One of his notable wins is against Thai fighter Kaoklai. You guys might know Kaoklai as being the lightest K-1 fighter ever in the heavyweights. I love the boxing combinations he does for warming up in this video. A little bit of good HLs from his matches at the end as well.

Ramon Dekkers Vs Joeri Mes

I'm browsing youtube as usual looking for martial arts related videos and I found this. My first thoughts were WTF?! Dekkers vs Joeri Mes? Joeri Mes must have still been in kindy when Dekkers was in his prime!

Seriously, why did Dekkers took this fight? What was the point? Dekkers is way past his prime. Joeri is a young up and comer. We recently saw him KOed Japanese fighter Kohi in K-1 Max finals. Did Dekkers need the money that much??

Albert Kraus vs Kaolan Kaovichit

Classic K-1 Max match. This is the K-1 Max 2002 final match between Albert Kraus vs Kaolan.

I posted this match because not many people what a good fighter Kraus is. He was very successful in the beginning as I don't think many people expect such a fighter in kickboxing to be so heavily reliant on boxing work such as him. Although this proved to be undoing as people see more of him. At least he seem to be improving his array of skills now. Though he's not one of my favourite fighters to watch, I admire his grit and toughness. Hope he keeps improving and make a a big comeback to the crack the top four of K-1 Max in 2009.

Did anyone notice his face and his entrance song? How appropriate don't you think? :)

Ko Taisei (Kyokushin Karate IKO1) VS Sun Wu (Sanshou)

Good to see professional San Da still in existence. This event is supported by FEG. For those who are K-1 fans, you will have heard the name before. FEG is the group that runs the K-1 events. I hope that this is a sign of things to come. Fighting sports in China need a big financial sponsor to grow.

Anyway on to the match itself. I think Sun Wu must have a muay thai coach. His guard and stance is not the typical Sanda style that I am used to seeing in the past. His kicks are not as flicky. He even attempted a jumping knee at one stage! Despite that, he is still too sanda in that relied too much on throws and takedowns. Sure he made alot of good throws off caught kicks, but KO Taisei was still able to fight on and eventually get that one strike that will make the difference. Good match to watch and learn for those from a sanda background.
