When I sleep tonight, I will dream of Eersel VS Semeleer. God I wish ONE would co-promote

Man I just wish GLORY signs Regian Eersel very soon, there’s way better competition there for him at 77kg.
Who you got between Overmeer and Semeleer in next weeks titlefight at Collision 5 though?

Yeah, for sure..

just watched the Superbon and Eersel KOs, holy shit I did not expect that at all.

I love ONE. What a great promotion. The weekly Friday cards too are nice. I really think kickboxing and muay thai as a spectator sport has grown because of them. At least in the US it must have increased the popularity.

 

[BoxerMaurits]

Undefeated for over 2,600 days. Ridiculous in combat sports. It's so hard to be this good for this long. You've really got appreciate dominant fighters. Fedor, Aldo, Georges, and guys like Eersel.

Fun night of fights. Great PBP as always. Enjoy your weekend, Sherbros.

Enjoy your weekend bud

 

[Carrotman23]

Yeah, for sure..

If you didnt like my comment I would've read that as sarcastic ha.
Like "yeah fur sure mhm "

 

[BoxerMaurits]

@BoxerMaurits if you run into Menshikov back in Amsterdam don't mention this fight. Actually he may not remember it.

Lol, I’m sure he won’t<45>

Ah sorry, not being sarcastic lol. Chatri is full of himself

These pride style celebrations are so much cooler than UFC's.

I feel like it might be a legit competitor to the UFC in terms of combat sports for the years to come. UFC will always have its core base but its lost a lot of shine in the last couple of years.

 

[PurpleStorm]

Lol, I’m sure he won’t<45>

Lol. He'll be like 'I hope to fight Earsal some day. Send location.'

 

[BEATDOWNS]

They actually had to stretcher out ozcan… hope he’s okay

It has for me. I love the striking.

 

[PurpleStorm]

I was just thinking. Someone should make a movie featuring kickboxing. Call it Kickboxer.

Eersel would be a massive signing for Glory; he mentioned in his promo video that he wants to go down as one of the best to ever do it. If that's true, it would be in his best interest to go to Glory imo, for that very reason you mentioned - better competition.

Between Semeleer and Overmeer, I am taking Endy to win again. Both have improved markedly since their last bout, but I think Endy has been facing better competition since, and I also believe Endy is just a rough matchup for Jay at this point. Overmeer is high volume, constantly switching stances, angles, and has a lot of creativity, but Semeleer's boxing skills will prove too much imo. I noticed a lot in Overmeer's fight against Jamie Bates that he drops his left often and tends to do it when he feels like he has his man on the backfoot and is at the end of a combo, or when he is slipping straight punches. That is precisely where Semeleer will catch him and knock him off his rhythm, if not knocking him out imo. I'm five beers deep, so maybe I'm just talking out of my ass though haha.

It is for me. I love watching ONE. Great PbP group up in here too.

I've watched some kickboxing over the years but it would be very sporadic. It would be difficult to keep track of events outside of major fights or tournaments like K-1 GP or Glory GP etc. and my overall knowledge of the sport and history is not great since I only really watched the major things and again pretty sporadically (very casual). ONE makes it a lot easier to just tune in and watch a bunch of fights and start becoming fans of guys you never heard of before. And just learning and appreciating the sport more. It's crazy how good pretty much ALL the fighters look.
