As much as I dislike Nico, I'll be forever grateful to him for beating up Luke Lessei.

hahaha. If Lessei didn't have that shitty hair and the shitty nickname, the 'funky' footwork would still make me want to watch him get smeshed. put all 3 together he's like muay thai nails on the blackboard. its a shame because unlike Nico, he seems a pretty good dude.
 
A weight bully is mad he got weight bullied lol Live by the sword, die by the sword. Of course they will rematch at 155 eventually so he will have his chance to prove his point.

as you say given Nabil's frame its inevitable he ends up at featherweight before too long, I'm anticipating Nico either runs to kickboxing or books the fight and calls it off 'injured'.

Why is Nico not a good dude exactly? Just curious.

Not giving his opponent credit for kicking his ass and saying it was the weight that heat him and not Nabil. That kind of arrogance fits with what I hear about him from people who know him peripherally
 
With my small glove muay thai withdrawals reaching epic levels it's good to see the first OFF of the new year has a good start to the card in 10.days time

Headliner is Pompet vs Decho, really nice style clash although one I think favours Pompet who's also significantly more experienced IIRC, certainly in the small gloves

Featured fight is my boy Ubaid Hussain vs Brazil which is an absolutely excellent match of two young, very skillful fighters on the rise. I call this a totally even-money fight and will be very technical, and entertaining with it
 
Also announced for next Friday is Chartpayak - Ayad Albadr. Albadr has gone on a run since losing to the crap Ghazali brother and Teeyai PK Sanchai, and he's flatlined Nuapet and Petlampun in the last two which as he's a Mehdi Zatout fighter, the new found explosive power might almost be a bit suspicious. I think his style matches pretty well with Chart as he's a good mover and gets his KOs with angles and footwork rather than exchanging flat footed which would play into Chart's hands

OFF138 shaping up really nicely a week before the event
 
Oh my god, OFF is an absolute fucking BANGER of a card.

To add to the above:

Tonglampoon Kohtao rematch of an absolute war

Petninmungkorn 5-0 including win over Rifdean Masdor vs Toyota 3-0

Tahaneak 4-1 including wins over the decent Mezentzev and Mahahin vs Khunpon 2-0,not the very tall Khunpon, the other one

Plus Rifdean Masdor who is always entertaining vs Indonesian dude who's decent IIRC

exciting Scot, Logan Chan, vs Petgarfield

Really shaping up to start the year with a bang(er)

Earlier than usual announcements of non-tentpole card fights seems to he the thing this year, I hope it continues

Soe lin Oo vs Worapon announced for OFF139.
 
I'm fucken pumped for later.

Pompet - Decho, Decho is decent both at range and with the clinch, strictly straight punches with the hands. I feel like he has the tools to play out the right gameplan vs Pompet, but not the level. He isn't the best at defending himself from punches and Pompet's the wrong dude to be standing opposite if thats the case. If Pompet gets to exchange at mid-range morethan a couple of times a round he walks this, he could win comfortably anyway.

Ubaid vs Brazil, I feel like Ubaid has more ways to win this and will. In Ubaid's words Brazil is basically a mid-kick and not much more, and he's not being too unfair to Brazil. Brazil *is* pretty damn fast with the mid kicks off both sides but Singtanawat started timing them with counterpunches and knocked him out, and samanchai backed him up, closed the distance and beat him up badly to the body with punches and knees, definitely Ubaid will have a takeaway from that, that Brazil doesn't like it to the body and Ubaid will be targeting him there. Brazil doesn't use the teep enough for an outside fighter, hasn't got great offensive output with the hands and doesn't defend punches all that well either.
Ubaid has shown really good tools at range and a much better knack at chaining different weapons together, plus has shown he can dog it out if he is forced into a fight at close range. Ubaid *can* win a fight with Brazil from the outside but he can also take it to him on the inside if he needs to, which he is saying is the gameplan. I think Ubaid will grind him, close the distance, teeps and straight punches >>> bodyshots and knees, and if he can spend time exchanging at punching range he should definitely have the advantage there.

Chartpayak - Albadr i get the feeling will be explosive. Albadr has a *beautiful* jab, lovely step-in, full extension through the shoulder, fast, accurate and jolting. I'll be interested to see how much he moves, he can be very quick on his feet if he wants to but his default is kinda trad Thai counter-striker, light on the front leg, looking to fade and counter his opponent back with punches whilst holding his ground. as Chart is so deadly at mid-close range it would seem sensible to maybe move a bit more but with the Ko run he may well be feeling his oats and want to take it to Chart. Obviously both men a KO threat here so its one you should be edge of the seat as long as it lasts


Toyota - Petninmungkorn, Toyota has got to 3-0 (3) but if you watch him for 30 seconds you'll wonder how, even against the moderate opposition he has beaten, he has managed it. 2 KOs in the 3rd round in high pace fights tells you he's got a gas tank and resilience aplenty but beyond that, shiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. His boxing tech is fucking horrible, nasty sloppy punching technique with very poor leverage, and one of the most permanently-upright chins in OFF history. Petninmungkorn is hardly Sam-A himself from a technical standpoint but is much more compact, has shown KD/KO threat, he should basically be smashing right hands off the southpaw Toyota's static head as long as the fight lasts.



Tonglampoon - Kohtao, dififcult to see how it can match the incredible first one but the Tong-Mungkorn rematch did. Interested to see Tong's tactics, his normally punch-heavy attack was totally upended by kohtao in rd2. Kohtao took it to Tong big-time and threw hands with him on the inside with far superior head movement and head placement, using those angles and little steps and pivots to the side to totally fucken rip Tong with the right hook and uppercut to head and body, counter left hands and uppercuts, he totally battered him. Then in rd3 Tong for the first time in One decided he was a muay femeu who was going to win the round with his mid kick plus knees, him abandoning the punch-first approach he has used to impose himself on everyone else showed just how much Kohtao had rocked him with the hands in the 2nd round

This was one of the best 5-10 fights in OFF history and if it is anywhere near as good as the first one you won't care who wins, we win.

tahaneak is a good watch and decent all round technician, versatile, can grind on the front foot and throw combinations, can counter off the back foot with an excellent counter left hand. Binladin came at him and got some dominance with volume punching but Tahaneak showed patience and excellent countering to eventually stop him, Mezentzev gave him some problems with his faster hands so Tahaneak pressed and closed and ground him down with the clinchfuckery both elbow and kneefuckery. As I recall it Khunpon is a bit of a blunt implement, Tahaneak can maybe out-fight him but has options if not, I take Tahaneak as he just seems a level above and a better technician.

then both Rifdean and logan Chan are explosive and always a Ko threat, banger incoming
 
though I say so myself and notwithstanding that self-praise is the emptiest praise there is, i made some pretty good calls there haha.

Ubaid impresses me more and more, great gameplan as per Coach Ian lol with the pressure game and bodyshots in particular, if I'm being critical he started spamming punches with slightly weak technique and leverage, he actually started Brazil's problems off with a step-in knee to the body IIRc and I'd like to have seen him go back to that more instead of spamming arm punches slightly.

What impressed me most was very early in rd1 he was walking pretty much straight at brazil without finessing the entry, and taking counter punches, but he very quickly adjusted; he was using a quick trigger step in/out to draw leads off Brazil that he could counter, countered immediately with the straight left hand to the body (he countered so often with the left to the body I am sure they were drilling that as the default counter to basically anything Brazil threw) as his entry and then boom, inside with the combinations to the body and clinchfuckery. Brazil just looked totally discouraged, it was plain as day on his face, he got tactically outwitted as much as out-fought, as the military say Ubaid just got inside his decision making OODA loop and once he was inside it he kept the pressure on to the point his offence was asking too many questions of Brazil's defence for Brazil to cogently respond and he was fucked.

I hope Ubaid doesn't just start thinking of himself as a grinder and combination puncher now and I assume that was specific tactical set to beat Brazil by exploiting his obvious weaknesses, I still think overall versatility is Ubaid's strongest point. FWIW I think one of his best weapons is the step-in/counter knee to the body, he sneaks it in very hurtfully on the other hand I find his left leg work to be a bit weak and lack snap- i have a suspicion he is a converted southpaw rather than a natural left-sider, the way he throws his rear limb weapons vs his lead weapons is characteristic of that. The counter right hook seems to be his strongest single punch.

I am going to make a guess and say they will match him with a fighter with similar profile, Yunusov, next up. both young unbeaten farang flyweights albeit Yunusov has beaten slightly better Thai opposition in Donking and Petsukhumvit. Either that or Ubaid gets another strong Thai.


Albadr did exactly what I thought too, stood his ground whilst it was working early and he was able to use his reach and fast hands to out-land Chart from outside, then as Chart tried to put the pressure on and got more desperate but also wilder, Albadr using his good feet and distance control and having the brains not to hold his feet, like, ever. Chart never got to throw a 4 punch combination all night and barely got to throw the left hook from his preferred range at all. Albadr is legit, albeit his tools and gameplan were a perfect fit for Chart who looked very one-dimensional in that light. Still, fast feet, long-ish arms, fast and heavy hands, good tactical brain and decent technically, Albadr will be a decent match for most.

Toyota is a weird fucking fighter, when he reversed his normal tactics and to begin with fought an outside game he actually looked pretty good, really nice work with the left leg and the check right hook countering the lead right hand was absolute money, repetitively. But as soon as he takes some shots the technique goes out of the window and he's one step removed from bum-swinging, as predicted he ate an obese buffet of right hands and couldn't stay standing.

again as basically predicted Tonglampoon wasn't interested in throwing hands with Kohtao, and if you take away that suffocating volume-punching attack he's a pretty average fighter, did well to mostly dictate the pace in rd1 with the low kicks but it felt like Kohtao was just biding his time. And fuck me, dem fucken HANDS once Kohtao decided to step it up. I'd have to remind myself who the fuck has beaten Kohtao because his hands are crisp as fuck and showing the power to wreck Tong's chin is no joke at all, EDIT ah well one them was good old Khunsuk who is a puncher of note too, i'd have to rewatch that one cos if i was predicting it blind I'd swear Khunsuk couldn't live with Kohtao. IIRC he's a good bit smaller than Kohtao too or at least has fought lower in weight

Tahaneak is a fucken bad man. He's taken some pretty serious punishment in 2/3 fights but never looked out of the fight, either physically or more to the point, look at his face he always has that look of fire and determination even if he's on the wrong side of the action, and has staged at least two very strong comebacks. he will literally never be in a bad fight because he will sustain loads of pressure and punishment if forced on the back foot (and land plenty of good counters as he does so) or he'll put major pressure on himself if he can take the front foot. He has become one of my favourites in his last 2-3 fights.

I'd have to rewatch but i thought Logan Chan maybe got unlucky on the cards in what was a very close, gruelling, grinding fight.

fucken good night all in all.
 
oh and to undermine the glazing of my own balls Decho proved me wrong to a significant degree. again an absolutely perfect gameplan, the distance control and variety of weapons and how he chained them together was very impressive, to the point where he was dominating in what should be Pompet's wheelhouse, in punching range. Pompet like Brazil was visibly disconcerted, really looked uncomfortable in his face because he was always on the back foot in terms of decision making, always having to be reactive not proactive, Decho got inside his OODA loop and stayed there for good like some cartoon nightmare figure. it was as complete a tactical domination of a top level fighter as I have seen in a while, hats off to decho and team .
 
Well I spoke too soon with Yunusov and Ubaid

Already announced for 139 was Worapon Vs Soe Lin Oo

Full card now announced, the immediate standout other than that is

Yunusov vs Khunponnoi. VERY interesting but conflicting for me as I'm a big fan of both.

Khunsuk is back, one of the top 5 OFF stalwarts for excitement along with Suriyanlek, Rambong, Tonglampoon.

Talented young French fighter Sandro Bosi who's against an 0-2 guy

Nkt much else Immediately strikes me

Late reply, but god damn did Decho look fantastic.

I thought that'd be a tough fight for him, but he tactically and technically dog walked Pompet.

yeah, I thought from the 2nd Suriyanlek fight it was *possible* he could enact the same kind of tactics again, I just didn't think he'd be good enough against Pompet. His jab was/is first class. I'd be interested to see how he goes against someone like say Shimon or Imangazaliev, I suspect against someone with similar length/range but more dynamic he'd have real problems but against shorter more traditional fighters if he can maintain that level of discipline in his gameplan he'll be tough to beat. Decho vs nakrob would be brilliant, actually.
 
they are releasing details of fights much earlier this year
