Who do you guys think is the fighter who got robbed most often in recent memories?
I nominate Massaro Glunder. The poor kid is on the wrong of so many close decisions and got robbed in every way possible from bullshit DQ to straight up robbery with no extra round.
People love throwing out "robbery" in any close fight, be it boxing, kickboxing or mma.
He seems to manage his career quite recklessly compared to how good he is/could be.Who do you guys think is the fighter who got robbed most often in recent memories?

Mike Passenier the most overrated Kickboxing coach in history.He seems to manage his career quite recklessly compared to how good he is/could be.
Probably most his losses in recent years were avoidable. Dude needs someone close to him to tell him to take his time instead of jumping immediately in to every thing he can possibly do. I get it he's young and who wants to turn away money when offered but perhaps not the greatest decisions in the long(er) run losing and/or taking unnecessary beatings.
Like if you get damn near knocked out by an illegal shot or take a terrible low blow, take all the time you can, or do a Bonjasky, instead of resuming right away and throw the fight away for no reason. Also probably a good idea not go fight dudes in their home rings up in weight at a days notice.
Seems to mostly win when prepared and at his own weight.
God no, Ill take the gamblers over the Western Dojo senseis any days.Much of the issue of stealing in muay thai fights and kickboxing has to do with cash betting.
The punters paje judges, side referee and fighters.
Fit organizations would be like WAKO and WMF overseeing and inhibiting this sort of thing.
I agree. Mike made Groenhart and Mes, but besides them, all his top fighters only came in a later stage of their career to Mike's because of Mike's connections.Mike Passenier the most overrated Kickboxing coach in history.
Damn near ruined Kyshenko...
If you haven't noticed yet, not only does nobody here care about your Muay Thai grading system shilling, they also don't respect it...My friends against facts there are no arguments. Look at the photos today already exists graduation (tracks) in muaythai

The "you can't win in thailand unless you win by KO" saying is a myth, probably created by Ramon Dekkers fans.
Robbery or not?

I actually didn't have time to watch the fight yet. But it is always suspicious when non-french lose a close fight in France.Hard to score. I thought Kongsak won the 2nd and probably the the 3rd, but only narrowly.
For me it comes down to how you scored the clinch in those rounds. Payet seemed to control the positioning, but didn’t do anything terribly meaningful there.
Kongsak had several clean sweeps in both rounds, and was striking more accurately and effectively. Though Payet’s shots were more devastating when they did land.
I wouldn’t say it was a robbery, but Kongsak would have torn Payet a new asshole, had he not been twice Kongsak’s size.
