Is Joanna really a Kickboxing World Champion!?

[TriangleMonkey]

Also you get a lot of Karate cross-over fighter that will actually count "point karate tournament matches" as Kickboxing matches. This is prob where Wonderboys crazy record comes from although he did fight in World Combat League pro.

Ive met soooo many Karate guys that will try and sell people that karate shit as full-contact bouts but theres no way to prove it

Its all fake hype and its 99% comes from Rogan.

"Thompson is 57-0" as a kickboxer . LMAO HAHAHAHAHAHA

Shut up Rogan please. I been watching kickboxing since 1996, I never ever heard of Thompson until he was in UFC, if he was 57-0 he would be one of the greatest kickboxers that ever lived LOL. Never even seen him in any kickboxing organisation, never heard of him until UFC. Get out Rogan, so fakeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. 57-0 LMAO, don't think he has even had 1 professional kickboxing match man.

Perhaps he may have had some amateur kickboxing done on Indian reservations and casinos but we are not talking legit real pro kickboxing here. I even went to the best kickboxing forum and type his name in the records and there is no search person, no one called Stephen Thompson even exists. So I don't think he has even had 1 real pro kickboxing fight.

this 57-0 nonsense keeps coming from Rogan and its really insulting to real pro elite kickboxers. UFC hype machine in full effect

Is that YAMMA

 

[Dankoz]

Joanna is true champion.

 

[Rampage_Jackson]

the UFC resumes are basically like a pro wrestlers background information. Its all made up

 

[P4p Islam]

No professional (commercial) organisation has a legit champions. They are all bought and payed for. That being said money attracts better talent.

K1

 

[Rav7n]

Her kickboxing resume is as legit as Wonderboy’s 80-0 or whatever nonsense they spew about him.

Thats paltry compared to rickson's 400+ undefeated ..
legend by armbar and lies...

Valentina Shevchenko also seems to have a load of IFMA titles, but she also has a load of gold medals in KF-1 and K1 world championship events. Appears to be a whole different level of accolades here.

There's plenty of K-1 organizations in the world

There was no way to make living of it.
IMFA titles ( even her coach - Ernesto Hoost told Joanna to give it up cause she's not gonna make money even if she wins), K-1 titles in Asia.

The only legit source of income for female MT fighters that time was kickboxing in Netherlands.
This was shitty job anyway. Amsterdam is damn expensive city to live.
She lived with other Kickboxers in a rented apartment because she could not afford to do it on her own. Even more... she couldn't afford to pay her part ( she had to clean after heavyweight kickboxers in exchange for rent)

She gave up at this point and came back to Poland as far as i know.

Van Damme's kickboxing record is more legit than Joanna's.

 

[Yodsanan]

Van Damme's kickboxing record is more legit than Joanna's.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

 

[Yodsanan]

is anyone?

the talent pools have never seemed to be particularly deep.

Deeper then mma, although more splitted up.

 

[QueenVitor]

You have no idea what you're talking about.

The man speaks truth. Van Damme was for real.

 

[Pepy]

There's no real boxrec/fightfinder on kickboxing so the records are pretty much the wild west.

that results in some funny shit happening here and there even televised

 

[Vil7]

Most of those were to the death, just like Sensei Seagal’s bouts in Japan.

Rickson's 400 opponents were unrecorded because they couldn't ID the bodies afterwards.

 

[kuka45]

Yes she is.

 

[drazco]

Yes she is.[/QUOTE

people just hating on JJ..she is the only female Muay Thai fighter in history to hold belts in two different weight classes(strawweight and boogeyweight)

 

[Franc Mittelo]

Her kickboxing resume is as legit as Wonderboy’s 80-0 or whatever nonsense they spew about him.

LOL

Boy, I wish I had the privilege to like this post, because it is exactly what was thinking when I read the thread title. LOL

 

[Franc Mittelo]

This is why I only count UFC records. Some of these guys were "100-0" from whichever previous promotion they came from. LOL

Only UFC records count, in my opinion. So fanboys, keep this mind when I critique your favorite fighter. LOL
