Petrosyan vs Yodsanklai

[TheVaado]

Do you think this will ever happen? There was rumors of it happening months ago, but nothing ever came to fruition. If it does, who do you have winning, and why?

 

[Julius_Caesar]

I know Yodsanklai would be up for it. If it doesnt happen I think its more likely because of Petrosyan and his team. Petrosyan doesn't need to. He will make enough money beating Glory's paper champ Robin Van Roosmalen and defending the title. Petrosyan vs Sittichai is more likely to happen due to the fact that they both fight in Glory. It could happen under Kunlun thou if Petrosyan keeps fighting for them. Petrosyan, Yodsanklai and sittichai I think are the top 3 p4p K1 fighters today and watching them all fight each other to see who comes out on top would be a thing of beauty.

 

[Shadess]

Don't think Petro is avoiding anyone. He really really really wanted to fight Ristie again and that's the guy who beat him.

Hero Legends could maybe put this together, but I think they'd rather have both Petro and Yod fight Chinese guys.

I thought yodsanklai signed with k1

both souwer and kyshenko have a win over yod, I don't see why a vintage petrosyan couldn't do the same, you are making it sound like nobody wants to fight yod and he never loses

I said Yod is one of the best p4p K1 fighters (today). The Kyshenko fight was a few years ago and Yod has had good and bad stages of his career. The Yod Kyshenko fought back then is very different to the Yod today. Back then you could see he was uninterested and never trained for his fights with that puffy look he used to have. I'm not sure what happened but over the last couple years Yod has gotten a lot better. That killer instinct and passion is back. Also with the Souwer fight personally I had Yodsanklai winning.

I never said Petrosyan wouldnt want to fight Yod I hope they do. I just feel like Yodsanklai would want that fight more at this stage of their careers.

 

[oyvindt]

petro was more than willing to fight yod.it didn't happen because they couldn't reach an agreement. he's is willing to fight sittichai i don't see why he would avoid yod now.
if anything yod is more careful...i don't think dropping out of of kunlun was 100% due to the injury,they knew he was risking to lose his spot in the chinese market.

Yodsanklai is on another level now that he was a few years ago. I don't think there is any other kickboxer with a 22 fight winning streak right now.

 

[Jeffie]

he's on a great streak but he was very much in his prime (he was on a huge win streak back then too) when he fought souwer. and let's not pretend petrosyan is done or something, he lost once in how many years? the streak that petrosyan is/was on, is insane

no way petroyan is ducking yod or vice versa

jaymuaythai dont know what he's talking about. fights often don't materialize not because fighters dont want to fight each other but promotions and managements want to protect their cash cows and will only let them fight if big sums of money are on the table

 

[Kanka]

Yeah nevermind i didn't read JayMuayThai's post. Any fight where Yodsanklai, Sittichai, or Petrosyan fight each others should be very interesting and could go either way.

Its not that it didn't happen because of an agreement. Its because around that time Petrosyan had only just started fighting again after that loss to Ristie. Being undefeated and taking a loss like that can mess with you mentally and have you rethinking your whole career. He was out for 13 months! He wouldnt want to fight Yod straight away. He would want to get back into the feel of things, have several fights and then fight someone like Yod so ultimately to me when it came to them not reaching an agreement I think its more to do with Petrosyan. Yod has been fighting for years and has had plenty of losses. Its like breathing to him whereas a loss to someone like petrosyan would be more emotionally damaging because he has only experienced it once

And I know Yod dropping out of kunlun is not 100% due to an injury but now we are talking about Sittichai not Petrosyan. Taking a loss to Sittichai is not just about Kunlun. Sittichai is another Thai fighter its different. Both camps reputation is on the line and a win from either would put them in that Thailand poster boy position. The same reason why Buakaw is willing to fight Petrosyan but not willing to fight a Thai. He can lose to Petrosyan and still be good but a loss to another Thai of Yod/sitti caliber will ruin his reputation.

again, you don't know what you are talking about. petrosyan has been fighting for years while breakin the same hand every couple of months. his hand never fully healed. when he lost to ristie, he had to take a step back, evaluate the loss AND finally let his hand heal up. there were fights where he barely used that hand. it has nothing to do with the opponents

yod is on a huge win streak, very good by yod for getting better than he was a couple years back. but let's not forget he has alot of mismatches on there too. nobody is ducking , so no need to point a finger to petrosyan or yod

I'm not pointing any fingers at anyone I was replying back to oyvindt who said Yod was more careful and I feel when it comes to being more careful between these 2 the logical answer is Petrosyan who came off a long break. Whether Petro had a bad hand or not are you seriously trying to tell me it took 13 months to heal? The hand was part of it but like you said he has been having hand problems for years so what was the difference? It was the fact that he lost. You just said it yourself "he had to take a step back and evaluate the loss" the fact that it took 13 months to do so shows he was effected by that loss and to me someone who gets effected by losses are more likely to be cautious unlike someone like Yod who has been winning and losing since he was 8 years old.

read your first post in this thread:

I know Yodsanklai would be up for it. If it doesnt happen I think its more likely because of Petrosyan and his team.

you are insinuating that the fight wont materialize and that yod really wants it, so it must be petro who doesn't want it. do you even know if the fight even has been negotiated? you are talking crap. petro ducks nobody at 70kgs, the guy hasnt eaten a flush punch in years untill the ristie fight. stop assuming things that make no sense

he hurt his hand over and over again. he broke his hand more than you can count with the fingers on 1 hand. he kept fighting and winning. his 13 month lay off after his first ko loss in a zillion years was totally reasonable, who wants to go back in there when his hand brakes all the time. stop insinuating petro is cautious because of 1 loss, the guy fights cautious as hell to begin with, he barely gets hit in fights

yod is doing great but let's not forget he has fought alot of mismatches and he has some emberassing losses on his resume, like the loss against that japanese guy. petro and yod are both great and the fight not materializing has nothing to do with petro or yod

petrosyan himself did an interview late this summer saying he was preparing to fight him lol....no hesitation from petrosyan.
needed time to recover his mind as well,but he also bought a gym in milan and moved there with his team,did seminars...had a life...he wasn't crying in fetal position thinking about ristie for a year...

as for yod (or anybody else for that matter) i don't judge his decision to pull out due to even the smallest injury or because the promotion won't fork the right kind of money at all....
i just feel he is at a point of his career where he has to be more careful in general. he was sick this year twice,pulled out from heros,got a small injury and felt fighting sittichai was too risky and pulled out...petrosyan has no such problems at the moment so maybe JUST RIGHT NOW he's in a better moment and seems healthier.

i can already see all the ppl riding yod's undefeated dick snub him the first time he will get ko or lose just like they did with petrosyan.
