IFMA World Championship 2016, Jönköping May 19-28

[Shadess]

IFMAs happening in Jönköping, Sweden now.

On a quick look there there's some familiar names in the mix like Gerasimchuk, Kornilov, Rogava, Valent, Kulebin, Varats and Kulyaba.

Stream seems to be paid this year - $15.

See all matches from both rings 19th-28th of May. Qualifiers and finals.

Quality looks solid and you do get a ton of fights for it at least.

Stacked as always ! Thanks, was looking forward to it

The Eastern European World Championships of Bastardized Muay Thai. Fuck yeah!

What, no Artem Levin? I really wanted to see him win this for 94th time, or whatever. Darn.

I have to be a dick. Sorry.

 

[SuperLuigi]

Does IFMA use Thai judges?

 

[DastardlyMass]

The thai team has petboonchu, superbon, tenuang/super x, sawsing, loma, and lommanee

I saw Petboonchu warming up on the pads today, assuming he's competing aswell, perhaps in 63.5/67kg

Depending on the weight-class it's not that bad Muay Thai, some big names get beaten not very seldom, ofc it's another thing with IFMA-rules and gear but the level is not as terrible as you're describing it to be. As far as I know Sweden is not considered "eastern-european" and there are competitors from every european country.

Tooting my own horn I'm a european gold medalist in 63.5 which pretty much makes me super cool and on par with lumpinee champion level, sir.

loma?

Chommanee's girlfriend. Isn't her name loma lukbunmee?

Damn I knew something about MT that Rob didn't!

Female Muay Thai doesn't count.

I don't really follow women's Muaythai much!

Men's team also has Manasak Pinsinchai, Sarawut Lukbanyai, Yokwithaya and Withayalek Petseemuan, true amateur spirit right there

IFMA always revealed good Muay Farangs,looking foward for this one

I don't guess you would happen to know what happened to angel fight/muaythai angles do you? Thats the only reason i had any clue who the girls are. Their shows were oddly entertaining

I'm a 63.5kg IFMA Gold medalist too! I tip my hat to you, sir!

Petboonchu in the 67kg division, some other thai in 75 probably Superbon? There's a stream for fair payment but I'm gonna record Pet's and Superbons fight and try to upload later on.

tenuang/super x is representative at 75. superbon is fighting at 70kg i believe

Petboonchu just won, fighting a guy with a big size advantage who in my mind, ruleset in mind, scored more points in the first 2 rounds. Pet basically approached it as he generally would a stadium-fight, perhaps not the best tactic but he got the win, could go both ways imo.
