oh and FFS, fucking One, absolute farce, Nabil Anane's next match. OFF126

its KB rules. FF's fucking sake. albeit its against Ennahachi and with any luck Nabil will boot his face in. but still, FFS.

also Tawanchai returns in OFF126 but again in KB rules against...against the dude that Siasarani beat without breaking sweat when he was ill with a cold.

MEH

 

[IanEdwards]

good thing for Anane at least he's so tall KB rules hardly affects his ability to use the knee without the clinch, he mostly lands them stepping in anyway

what is worse is that they announced today the release of Sittichai from the roster. Just ridiculous. Sittichai vs Tawanchai in kickboxing made way more sense, considering that Sittichai totally outclassed Noiri and has a win over Tawanchai.

They used a legend like him has a stepping stome in muay thai against fucking Carrillo.

yeah One are like the harsh slave masters who let the peasants work themselves to near-death in the fields and turn them out of their dwellings in winter when they're all worked out

I'm, still not quite sure however the hell Noiri managed to beat Tawanchai, it was like it must have happened to someone else who just looked like Tawanchai, some alien inhabiting his body

Well thats what Sittichai gets for having a humble personality and not bring juiced to the gills.

Tawanchai was bigger than most people he fought in muay thai. He's smart but not as smart as people think. His counters got figured out sometimes.
Kulabam landed tons of punches on him in their fights. Chinese high school eacher nkocked him out before in kickboxign too. Counter punch against Tawanchai's leg kick.
Noiri figured out counter punch to Tawanchai's knee

• Jean Carlos Pereira vs. Sheagh Dobbin (MMA – lightweight)

really looking forward to this. I count 5 definitely good and interesting matches and a few more where I'm very interested to see one fighter:

Chockpreecha Thway guaranteed brawl 100% and probably someone's getting stretched

Denkriangkrai Singha Mawynn vs. Lamsing Denk is very technical and has shown plenty of toughness in 3rd wars, Lamsing the same but I think less technical. I think Denk the better technician but Lamsing has shown he can brawl it out and win if he is forced to, I think Denk wins but Lamsing is tough as fuck and will keep coming and I think possibly bring the best out of Denk's counter-striking

Sunday Boomdeksean vs. Andrii Mezentsev Sunday is slower of foot and hand I'm pretty sure, Mez has shown good toughness (taken big cuts his last 2 fights and fought through them) and decent variety, good style clash and Mez doesn't move too much for a Ukrainian, he does still have that skitty in-out movement though but uses it offensively and basically wants to push his opponent back rather than avoid contact and lure them in

Ubaid Hussain vs. Petnakian rematch, I think Ubaid *should* win a bit easier than last time, at range he dominated rd 1 totally but got dragged into a close quarter war which he just about won in rds2&3. I expect him to make the tactical adjustments to fight more at range as to me he is the better fighter but Pet is relentless and can punch. Ubaid did show fatigue from fairly early, like during rd2 last time, so if Pet is the one to make the tactical adjustment and force him into a fight in rd1 i think the pendulum may swing the other way.

Pettonglor Sitluangpeenumfon vs. Shimon Yoshinari i haven't seen enough of Shimon really to fancy a winner but I think this will be the technical highlight of the card and pretty high-level stuff. Pett may struggle to find his range against the rare flyweight that is a bit taller than him as his game is like 90% or more outside game

and beyond that, Payaksurin good technically and every fight he has had has been v entertaining with him coming back from KDs twice
Pamor looked great and got a big headkick KO on debut, possible prodigy
Baranov looked v good against a limited-looking Argentinian first time out, tall southpaw with good movement and fast-looking hands/sharp crisp left hand

 

[IanEdwards]

121 was compelling without being overly dramatic. Ubaid did what I hoped and imposed his gameplan better. Petnakian did try to start the close-quarters stuff in Rd1 but Ubaid was equal to it, did a better job of shutting Pet down when they did clinch, and did more damage from the outside especially to the body, his accuracy with the hands is very impressive, he doesn't miss much at all. Ubaid still shows an excellent variety of weapons, you couldn't really say one particular aspect is dominant in him as he utilises all of them quite frequently. I hope he has a couple of years in OFF to grow as a fighter before even thinking of contracts etc. There are definitely OFF fighters at his weight who would beat him right now but I feel like he has a big upside potential, good technique and ring nous (especially considering he's got like 13 fights) and has some balls too.

 

[IanEdwards]

Nadaka is back for OFF122. Some random Spanish-Algerian, Hamada Azmani

Imangazaliev - Panpayak headliner

Songchainoi - Numsurin 5-0 (2) is a good looking fight, somehow Numsurin picked up those 5 wins below my radar I'll have to check him out.

also Siasarani - Oskar Siegert. Siasarani always worth a watch

 

[IanEdwards]

• Panpayak Jitmuangnon vs. Asadula Imangazaliev (Muay Thai – flyweight)
• Songchainoi Kiatsongrit vs. Numsurin Chor Ketwina (Muay Thai – 117 pounds)
• Ferrari Fairtex vs. Kongklai Sor Sommai (Muay Thai – bantamweight)
• Tonglampoon FA Group vs. Kohtao Petsomnuk (Muay Thai – 122 pounds)
• Focus NayoksoywiangyongLamphun vs. Isannuea ChotBangsaen (Muay Thai – 129 pounds)
• Maisangngern Sor Yingcharoenkarnchang vs. Suajan Sor Isarachot (Muay Thai – 123 pounds)
• Mohammad Siasarani vs. Oskar Siegert (kickboxing – featherweight)
• Ayad Albadr vs. Riku Otsu (Muay Thai – strawweight)
• Hamada Azmani vs. Nadaka Yoshinari (Muay Thai – atomweight)
• Zheng Zhaobin vs. Rikito (kickboxing – bantamweight)
• Batochir Batsaikhan vs. Harlysson Nunes (MMA – bantamweight)
• Erdenebayar Tsolmon vs. Katsuaki Aoyagi (MMA – bantamweight)

I hope Panpayak kicks Imangzaliev's soul out but I I've got a suspicion he's getting Ko'd, it seems like a traditional Thai style struggles to adapt to Iman's rhythm and timing

Numsurin, I've had a look at and I don't see anything to trouble Songchainoi. He reminds me of Kompet quite a bit, good all-round technician with good ringcraft, but a bit one-paced. He is good/very good when he gets into a rhythm, can maintain a constant tempo without seeming to breathe heavily, like strike-strike-strike, out for a half-beat, then back in again strike-strike-strike, and if you watch him he's breathing is totally consistent and relaxed, great example of a fighter who sets a certain tempo that suits their particular physiology/energy-system. But, Songchainoi is so quick and good at controlling distance from the outside I don't see Numsurin out-doing him from the outside, and even if he does, if Songchainoi has to make a fight of it he's considerably more explosive with the hands, so I think he wins either way and don't see good options for Numsurin.

Ferrari - Kongchai feels like a weird match, Kongchai can punch but I don't feel like he is the kind of puncher that is kryptonite for Ferrari so I feel like a comfortable demonstration of Ferrari's outside skills is on the cards

Tonglampoon the beast returns but gets what looks to be an easy-ish one i guess he'll run Kohtao over

I've got a bit of a soft spot for Albadr and quite a lot of one for Siasarani so I'm looking forward to those

and of course a masterclass from the freakish prodigy Nadaka is always a treat

its a decent card overall but I feel like there's one or two too many comfortable wins in there

[IanEdwards]

surprises all round for me

Kohtao fought brilliantly against the beast, beautiful combinations with the hands and the right hook to the body was beastly. very close last round, almost felt a draw would be fair.

Kongchai - Ferrari was the lacklustre, weirdly-paced fight I expected. Ferrari in particular looked sluggish and crap. I noticed Ferrari was hesitant to let his right leg go, and that when he did Kongchai was always trying to get the punches off to counter, his long reach helping there albeit not much landed cleanly for him. I was just thinking I really didn't care who won, when Kongchai's counter off the kick impacted, goodnight.

after an even first round Numsurin did a great job of catching Songchainoi with that initial counter left hook and once he did, Songchainoi totally ditched his recent more measured tactics and went back to fighting like a mini-Suriyanlek, which just seemed to play into Numsurin's crisp, accurate countering hands even more.

and even though I expected a KO for Iman, a boring old roundhouse kick to the head was a bit of a turnup

now, surely, they will put Iman in against Ortikov, and its bye-bye Ortikov's head as it gets booted into the crowd.

 

[SuperLuigi]

I feel bad for Ferrari, he was winning the whole fight and was clearly better but one sneaky shot and he got pancaked on the canvass.

Obviously an amazing performance by Imangazaliev. I would have loved to see him matched against Superlek but it seems they have decided to put Superlek in KB instead.

 

[that Indian]

I have no knowledge or experience of kb and mt but I am getting into it, mainly now through OFF.

Nadaka looks unreal. Like the Inoue of mt. Even the commentary team said he may be the best P4P in mt. Is this remotely true??

If so, why is he buried so deep into a random card? Are there any credible challengers for him?

Most school of Muay-Thai forbid to use the lead teap in orthodox vs southpaw. Nakada gave him no mercy, P4P farang in muay-thai, number one, Daniel Rodriguez would be the number two.

If you go just by "what have you done for me lately" there is a strong argument Nakada is P4P #1. There are guys who have greater bodies of work like Prajanchai and Superlek but its mostly pre-COVID.

Prajanchai vs Nadaka would actually be a great fight. They are the same height. If you gave Prajanchai enough notice he could probably make 120 around maybe even 118.
There is very few people slicker than Prajanchai. Would be interesting if Nadaka could do it. One advantage Nadaka has is he has been fighting solely muay thai and fighting more often recently. I would prefer to see it as a 5 rounder. To see all the little adjustments during the fight from both of them.

I would be happy as long as there was no travesty of it being a slugfest in MMA gloves with a KO bonus double their pay.

I don't watch much MT but it seems like in the small gloves the Thais are getting beat a lot more than in traditional MT. Is that right?

I'm just basing it in some One fights I've seen in the last few months.

Yeah its true. With the small gloves having a rock solid chin is a much more important criteria, similar to Lethwei. Fabio Reis is the prime example of a farang taking out elite Thais due to the MMA gloves.
