2012 Muay Thai Fights You Want to see

From super fights to fights between up and coming fighters...what do you want to see next year....

Liam Harrison vs Fabio Pinca

Chris knowles vs Arnold Oborotov
Lyndon Knowles vs Kev Ward
Jordan Calder vs Matthew Tieu
Keith McLachlan vs Rung

Kev and Lyndon are both in an 8 man in march Dean, you might get your wish ;)

For me I'd like to see,

Daitan Jackson v Chris Shaw
Kev Ward v Medhi Firoozi

Those fights would be huge!

Liam Harrison v Fabio Pinca
Chris Shaw v Michael Wakeling - Rematch
Luke Turner V Greg Wooton
Andy Howson v Damien Trainor.. one more time lol :)
Chris Shaw v Daitan Jackson

dean james v rungravee sasiprapa
liam harrison v michael dicks for uk no1 @-67kg
lucy payne v bernice aldiss for uk no1 @ -57kg
jordan watson v mike wakeling for uk no1 @72kg
jo jo calderwood v iman barlow
ben hodge v craig jose

tim thomas is number 1 at 67 hes stopped dicks, thrasher and imran..hes having remtach with thrasher soon tho to determine whos the top dog

coolio,great fight
you v the winner.
also luke turner v greg wooton for 63.5kg no1
danny taylor v jose from ko gym for no1 @ 59kg

it would be great to get an updated decent ranking system again so everyone knows a bench mark of who to try and beat to climb the ladder,it was great when the rankings were in fighters and combat every month.

Norman touchgloves
Liam vs Mike is scheduled for next year as part of the MPL
And as far as Jordan vs Mike w for uk number one I think Craig might disagree with you there.

Now Craig is fighting Micheal Wakeling at Event City how about the winner against Jordan Watson?

this is my point,without regular updated rankings everyone is an "arguably" number 1,lets get it sorted properly in 2012 so craig and others all get the chance to prove themselves instead of promoters spending money on foreign opponents.

I think i deserve a rematch with Jose after our last fight....Jose already beat Taylor btw Nathan but deffo be cool to see rematch over 5 rounds.Plus think UK number 1 is Meleady atm. Hes the man to beat.59kg has lots coming through though.

Fights id like to see ,
Rung vs Jose ,
Luke Vs Wooten ,
Liam H vs Thrasher (know it will never happen , but would just love to see it. Gutted u two bell are mates.).
Davy Mac Vs Loz Reily 3
Howson Vs Trainor 4
IMran Khan Vs tim Thomas 3
Darren O connor Vs Kieth M ,

Could keep going , 2012!! wooo

Danny Taylor V Paul Kapowicz
Lee Coville V Jose Verela

i know danny got beat by jose as i was there,but besides the fact that it wasnt 5 rounds danny had already fought an hour earlier,would be nice to see them both fresh next time as was great fight.

Now Craig is fighting Micheal Wakeling at Event City how about the winner against Jordan Watson?

Craig Jose v Jordan Watson

Chris Shaw v Daitan Jackson

Jonno Chipchase v Jose Varela 2

Mark Casserly v Mehdi Feroozi

Turner vs wooton
Barlow vs jo jo/ rufus / ashdown

Don't think colville would fight Taylor , verela , meledey
Wakeling / Jose winner vs Watson
Dean James kneein be granny out of any one

Mr Touchgloves

Just can resist can we!
I would like to see Steve Wakeling v Anyone.

Mark DeLuca Vs Rami Ibrahim (rematch)at Warriors Cup, NJ, USA.

Sandy Holt Vs Paulo Tocha (for fun).

Tim Tomas Vs Kevin Pain.

Baukaw Por Pramuk Vs Wimbledon ChayYai (Just because Baukaw needs a Thai spanking).

I would suggest myself, but I don't see me going Pro any time soon and I look like a sissy in the ring. Don't laugh too hard.

wo
whose who v whose who w ive got 2 fights booked lol and sorry whose sandy holt??? and whose paulo tocha?
also


so many UK whose who v whose who
so much Talent it gets us all giddy ! some Great matches above and some will defo materialise in 2012


And Emma beeps Bragg v Paige farrington ANY Rules any rounds at 50kilos PLEASE !!!

Wimbledon ChayYa is a monster i used to know him very well, he never did what he could in fighting (although does have wins over big thai names including buakaw already) due to him getting band from ever fighting in thailand because he "threw" a fight for the gamblers, him vs buakaw would be a great fight, wimbledon has the strongest clinch i have ever come across, he can land you on your head he also has a chin of granite which he says its impossible for him to be ko'd and iv never seen anyone take shots like him. square elbows on the chin and not flinch, i said wimbledon vs jordan would be a good fight a couple of years ago and some people laughed and said who is wimbledon, he would get murdered.

josh palmer vs tim thomas at 66kg

seen some calls for jordan watson, simon chu, craig jose and michael wakeling to all fight each other so how about a 4 man tournament with them all.... love that!

that would cost some money daz

haha i know, just something we would wanna see. but not very realistic chance of happening

Thats a tourney i would buy a ticket for :)

@ paulinthailand,

Yeh, Wimbledon is pretty hardcore, that's why I think he should spank Buakaw again. Very few westerners would be able to survive a couple of rounds with Wimbledon.

@ Sandy,
I'm just being silly about you Vs Paulo Tocha. FYI, he retired from fighting years ago, but he's from your era.
He was the fighter wearing Thai shorts in the movie Bloodsport.

antuan vs liam robinson 2
jordan watson vs michael wakeling
andy thrasher vs michael dicks
jay woodham vs luke turner
liam harrison vs fabio pinca

Very few westerners would be able to survive a couple of rounds with Wimbledon.


i think jordan and the top 3 in the world are the only fighters that could beat him,his kicks are so heavy boxing is good but clinch is out of this world, he used to absolutly batter me but hes cool its a ruff game, he fought soren or preacher in oz and breezed it didnt get out of second gear and lost on point because he was being too lazy

Steven Wakeling vs anyone

how aboutid Dean James VS Phetnamchai (Thep) Jitti Gym... Thep beat Damien this year in scotland so id love to see him back over here again to fight Dean

also was looking forward to Thrasher VS Samingprai Kiatphontip when it was due to happen this year but obviously through no fault of his own Bao couldn't fly with the bad floods so i'd love it to get put on again and happen this time

steven wakeling Vs mark casserly just for the all in chance of trying

Fedhi, or Lydon Knowles, mark normally fights 77 but would love to fight botht these lads even if he had to give away weight

Josh Palmer vs Andrei Kutsur
Antuan vs Kulebin (5x3 FMTR)

no mate am not sorry to hijack thread x

Simon Chu Vs Robin Van Roosmalen is by far the fight I would like to see most.
Their styles, it just seem to me, would collide in a very explosive way.
@70kgs?

Michael Wakeling vs Autur Kyshenko @ 72kgs?

Anthony Kane Vs Antuan Siangboxing

Whoops, meant to say Steve Wakeling Vs Autur Kyshenko

Steven will never be that weight like to see Steven v artem levin x

Buakow hasn't lost since Souwer in '09. And he ain't ducking fights. He's got Giorgi in the Thai Fight finals this month, Dzhabar Akerov in January, and Pinca in March. He gets through all of them. Petrosyan beats Kyshenko in March. Buakow and Petrosyan need to fight again.

Jordan Watson vs Dhazbar Askerov

Liam Harrison vs Khamel 2

Tim Thomas vs Kulebin

Greg has already beaten Kotsur

spong vs manhoef
rungravee vs trainor again
steven wakeling vs artur kyshenko

28th January spong v manhoef x

Jordan Watson v Georgio Petrosyan

Anthony Kane Vs Antuan Siangboxing
prevue in yokkao extreme but canceled

Jordan Watson vs Petroysan...

People might not agree, but if this fight was to happen today Petroysan would win.

Would like to see Jordan first take on and beat the likes of Souwer, Kraus, Cosmo then Petroysan.

Jordan's technically sound, but would be nice for him to get these superfights and be victorious. Just for confidence.

thats a point , Kraus, i forgot about him, would be a good fight vs Jordan actually , Kraus' hands versus Watsons kicks.

Souwer and kraus only fight k1 jordan only fights Muaythai so doubt either would happen...does petrosian ever fight muaythai anymore thought he was only k1 too?

Hi Liam, do you think Jordan could make the switch over to K-1 successfully? With their been a huge focus on boxing, is Jordans good enough to trade with the likes of Kraus and Souwer? I am genuinely interested as to what you think.
Some massive fights out there for him at that weight.

Petrosyan is only k1 rules mate x

Anthony Kane Vs Antuan Siangboxing
prevue in yokkao extreme but canceled *

Dang.

Didn't know it was even on, but shame it's cancelled.

I would love to see that fight and how their styles match up.
Hopefully, if it ever does happen, it'll be ref'd the same way thai fight and contender were; without excessive clinching.
It certainly wouldn't favor Kane if it was fought in Thailand, where they can spend an entire round clinching.

I agree.

It'd be great to see Jordan and others that are more so into strictly thai rules fights, get more into that circuit.

Considering how great of a fight Liam Vs Mohamed Khamal was, you'd have to imagine how spectacular the likes of Jordan Vs Chahid El Hadj, Mosab Amrani, Drago, Warren Stevelmanns etc, would be.

If we were to see that caliber of fight on a regular basis, referring again to Liam Vs Khamal, and they were getting regular broadcast/television exposure, it'd be hard to see how thai boxing would NOT gain mainstream attention.

If I was Jordan I'd stick with Muay Thai.

K-1 is kickboxing. I know many people on here cross train, but for pete's sake Muay Thai is it's own. If a fighter can compete in Boxing, K-1, MMA, and Muay Thai good for them. I think Jordan should just stick with Muay Thai.

agreed.

If I had Jordans talent I'd defo explore the K1 route...just for money!

I'd love to see him fight Drago.

I agree.

But yeah, I realize for Muay thai purists, they'll be reluctant to embrace the idea of one of their top fighters engaging in another rule set.

But the fact is, the most exciting fights now-a-days, really, are taking place under that banner.
That's just me talking, but that's how I feel.

Even the promotion "thai fight", which is coming straight from thailand, you can see their rules only allow limited clinching, shorter breaks between rounds etc.
Their embracing what they know will be the future; on the international level at least.

I guess it's very well to say, "I'll stick with my roots, and be loyal to Muay thai", but at the end of the end, the fact is, there's a far bigger future, or would be, for a guy like Jordan to take them kind of fights, against the likes of Drago etc, in them promotions, under them rules.

And when you think about it, in terms of skill and strength, Jordan's right there with the very best.
A couple weeks training under dutch style conditions to become accustomed to that style a little, and how much of an impact would he be making in them promotions?

There'd be a big future, and big money.

I'm not saying that's how it should be, but that's just my opinion.

Thaifight aren't allowing only limited clinching

@ Marco, your opinion is valid and I understand what you're saying. However, Muay Thai is about to take off. All it needs is some serious promoters and media coverage.

@ Rob, there are still places in the west where Muay Thai is almost illegal. Many states in America don't even allow Muay Thai. The sad thing is that MMA, Kickboxing, and Boxing is allowed, so it's obviously something political. Before anyone starts, you could fit three Englands in most of the States. Do the math when fuel costs are still high dollar. It's cheaper for me to fly to Thailand than it is to drive to the next state.

@ PaulinThailand, thanks for the encouragement. Keep up the good work m8. Let me know if Wimbledon is allowed to fight again, lol.
