Hey guys, so recently I've been loving the glory kickboxing promotion, but one thing I've come to notice is that a LOT of the guys are predominantly boxers who can eat a kick or who rarely throw a kick or who throw a kick to score some % points (with the exception of Raymond Daniels who isn't great to study when it comes to basic kicking for K1..IMO).
I have to admit, I haven't watched a massive amount of events, but from what I have personally seen, there just is a lack of kicking.
It's obvious that the K1 style rules don't favour the classic MT fighter (No elbows and reduced clinching), but that doesn't really rule out the kicks. Even the "Dutch" style guys are predominantly punching, throwing 4-6 combo's that have no kick in them at all. I mean, I've heard the commentators say things like, "Such and Such have talked about boxing in their national teams." So obviously they are incredible boxers, but where are the incredible kickers
?
So I was wondering, who are the BEST kickers under these styles of rules. And I don't want a massive list of, "Buakaw, Hoost, Bonjasky, Aerts, etc.", because they aren't really... Current. (I know many of them are still active, but they're past their prime, and whilst they might still be some of the GOAT's, I would rather see the newer generation).
Also, It seems like I'm suggesting that I've limited this to Glory Kickboxers, but that's not exactly how I've meant it, I understand that a lot of unknown promotions fight under the same sets of rules, so I would LOVE to see some other kickboxers out there!
Thanks in advance
