Recent fights/results/news from China

Sittichai nearly knocked him out. Sittichai doesn't knock out anyone. The guys chin is suspect.
Sittichai "knocked" superbon out with one punch but superbon has shown durability. Sittichai was tearing into Mohamed like a madman but couldn't finish him even if it was partly the refs fault. Sittichai doesn't KO people because he doesn't want/need to. Sittichai was actually trying to KO Mohamed because he was coming back from getting knocked down himself.

Mohamed KO'ed Pashporin which superbon, buakaw and petro couldn't do. He went up to 77kg and stopped thongchai with low kicks LOL and dropped sittichai for the first time in his "known" career. I don't know man. I think he might surprise everyone. He seems to be on a roll at the moment.

Mohamed was dropped by Zuev as well, in a fight he was dominating. All Zuev did was take runs at him and throw wild power punches. Grigorian is super tough, hits really hard and is a pressure fighter to the core. Win or lose he'll definitely take some good licks, but he can definitely dish it out and take it much better than Mezouari can.

dude come on sittichai had been dropped a couple of times before. Juri kehl did it with a headkick back when max muaythai stated out.
 
Jianliang has that problem that i've noticed from quite a few chinese fighters where they get incredibly reckless with punches in the pocket and leave themselves wide open to counters.

Honestly, I think that's more of a Dutch thing.

That was like 5 years ago. Was it even ruled a knockdown? All I remember is Juri throwing some random kick kinda like the kick that KO'ed singdam recently and yes it dropped sittichai but he wasn't really hurt or in any danger. The mohamed knock down had sittichai on shaky legs and he looked in serious trouble. All I'm saying is no one expected that just like some on here don't expect him to beat marat.
 
Of course he wants to but I mean sometimes he settles for winning by points. Doesn't take too many unnecessary risks.

and buakaw,bon and petro didn't settle as well?buakaw didn't even train for that fight!
it's easier for mohamed to take more risks and be more reckless because he's the underdog like ristie was when he ko everybody in glory...he has nothing to lose now.

not taking anything from him just saying.
 
Where can I find these Chinese rankings? They rank two Romanians in top 10, only Liverkick and Combat Press aren"t doing it. I can understand Liverkick, because you need to beat the man to be there, even though honestly sometimes they added some fighters even without that. Just because they had good fights with Wei Rui for example or others.

If Sittichai had the punching power to KO his opponents, i think he would.
 
Are those ranks supposed to be current? Did Greg Wooten come back and beat some elite guy in K-1 rules recently or something?
 
They're just one of many nonsense Chinese rankings you see around about weekly.

Its not as simple as saying someone doesn't have power so that's why they don't KO opponents. Sittichai is a professional fighter at the highest level in his sport. He may not be as powerful as some of the other fighters at his level but he has the power to KO fighters. Aggression plays an important role along side power when it comes to KO's. Its like fighters in the stadiums or boxers like Mayweather. They can KO opponents but they choose not to and when I say they choose not to I mean they don't always 100% go for it. Once they know they're ahead they settle with a decision win.

If Sittichai was as aggressive as Pornsaneh 1 he'd have more finishes and 2 he'd have more losses.

Look at some of his latest fights he really tries to let his hands go and he lands a lot of shots. If he was more explosive his opponents would have gotten knocked out by these shots
 
I don't really agree with that. Jianliang might be vulnerable to counter punches, but I don't think that's indicative of a trend. The fight where Jianliang got really lit up with counters was against Zhou Yang, who's Chinese.

I think that the best Chinese fighters tend to have better punching form and are more defensively responsible in the pocket than the majority of kickboxers and often win exchanges there. Jiangliang has outfought guys in the pocket. Jiangliang dropped Amrani by sitting down on some good counter punches in the pocket, when Amrani came out swinging. In fact, a lot of top Chinese kickboxers seem like they've been been well schooled on moving their head while punching to catch their opponent's in the middle of exchanges. I actually think a lot of them could benefit from being more aggressive. I think one of the biggest problems Chinese fighters have is that they wait too much, and are too counter oriented. I think they like it when they fight aggressive guys who just want to come to them and exchange in the pocket.



This is the kind of stuff I was referring to, running in chin hanging out. I've seen him do it against other fighters but they don't punish it as well. It's not so much his general boxing form, because like you said he has fought dutch fighters before and done well but when the opponent maintains some distance and doesn't engage him in a fire fight he seems to just run in to cover the distance. I think someone like Kaew would expose that habit.
 
Wei Rui is better than Qiu in my opinion. You"ll see when they face.
 
Other than some odd tournament in the finals yeah they're not fighting each other. Likelihood of such a tournament happening...near zero.
