Wow, it does look like a great show, Im sure glad a get to go. If all the matches come off, it will definately be a good PPV show.

Valerie Anthonson trains at my gym. Has anyone seen Holly Holm fight? She hits like a Mac Truck. Should be a good fight.

PJ

Whats the name of your gym ???

Flame...

Have not seen her fight but if it helps Holly's Pro boxing record is 1 fight and 1 KO Jan-26-2002, in Albuquerque over Martha OROZCO in the 3rd round. I don't know where Martha trains but I do know it was also her first pro boxing fight as well. Does sound HEAVY handed! Train hard KICK HARD!

Doug

Do you recognize the picture of Jackie ??? That was the group picture with Claudia and Jackie... Dennis just cut pasted it on the poster, hope she likes
it...

John

Flame, that because you are a photographic genious......:)

Flame, I train at a place called High Desert Martial Arts in Grand Junction Colorado. It's very far from anywhere important. :)

Sorry I never heard of your gym before,

Flame sounds cool though...

not many people have, small town.

Should be fun. I'm excited.

Playtime

I looked at the pictures of Danny vs James Cooke ... I will try to e-mail a couple to you this week. I will try to get something good for you June1 st.

John

I am very excited for Gold Lion Abbotsford fighter Jason Seip and also Gold Lion Vancouver fighter Daniel Christian to be fighting on this card.

Really looking forward to seeing Metee fight too. Is he training really???

I have a great fight of him and Thongtai on it. Thongtai wins but I think its a bs call.

Metee looked very good and smart. Should be a great fight.

Thanks Flame

That sounds good. Do you have any from the Warriors Cup Show too? Danny fought Pedro Villalobos. It was only a one rounder so I wasn't sure if you got anything. Just let me know.

Much appreciated
Desiree

There should be a rule against pro fighters wearing pants and pads in a intl. rules or muay thai.

Yeah!!! Its kind of funny when you think that most ama fighters(in Ca. at least)
wont even wear shinpads!!!!

Thats because they are unpaid or underpaid pros in California and are too dumb to realize that they are prostituting themselves to the promoters for illegal, under the table pay.

Hey Flame, Those are cute photos.Do You have any shots of Craig landing any clean shots or maybee some of my shots landing ?
It was a good 12 rd fight That Craig won on points but I am sure you could find some photos of me hitting him and landing clean.I would like to see them since I was never given A tape of the fight.
By the way in all of those photos I was blocking with the left arm that was broken prevoius to the fight. If you look close you can see the golf ball lump on my left forearm.
As far as the pads are concerned I think it is A silly argument. I fought 3 1/2 weeks earlier defending my world title and wanted more time to prepare for the fight and Dennis said that the fight could not be postponed so I accepted the fight he said the pads where optional so I decided to where them.I made no exuses I took the fight and lost A decission.I would not have brought up my injury if someone on here did not say that Craig broke my arm with his kicks.I do not see too many other well known fighters fighting other known fighters in there home town with any rules.
I will be fighting A Sanda/Sanshou fight in my next bout against Jason Yee of Boston ,The only American to win A Gold medal in the Sanshou World championships. This fight will be with no pads ,with knees ,throws.Low kicks.This fight will be for A Sanshou world title,More than likley it will be sanctioned by 2 organizations..
Since I lost to Craig which I give him credit for,And since you think it was by so much . I would like to invite Craig to come to fight me in my home town on Ring OF FIRE KICKBOXING SERIES after that fight. If I win the title I will defend it against him as the rules are simular to mauy thai with throws allowed. I am also working on helping in a Major promotion in New York next year that will have k1 style fights on it and this is also an option for a Tommy "BEE" Bottone VS Craig Buchannon rematch.
As I have proven many times before that I will fight any one under any rules as long as it is A good offer. I love the entire sport of Kickboxing as well as NHB , and Boxing , So I give no disrespect to any fighter or any set of rules.

I'm really excited to see that Mathee and Pajonsuk Lukprabhat are fighting. I can't believe that it's actually going to happen. Will it be under full Thai rules? Also, why is it being staged in New Mexico and not Las Vegas?

I am glad to see Mathee fighting and wish him luck . I helped him in his corner against Danny Steele and have become friends with him since then. I hope to have him fighting on Ring Of Fire in Ny in the near future.

Flame,
Thanks for posting those pictures of the Danny vs James Cook. That was the only fight in the 5 years I been with Danny that I did not attend. The only fight he's lost too, coinsidently(?). I really appreciate it. We'll meet up in Alburqurque June 1st. Long time no see....

Thanks Again
Desiree

No problem Desiree your welcome I look forward seeing you and Danny should be a great fight...

Flame

Can anyone tell me about Pajonsuk(how do you say that?).

I am really looking forward to seeing Metee fight live.

Here you go Tommy...

More of the same...

i do agree with the guys above about the trunks/pants thing.
thats one of the things i like about the ikf.
i feel the same way in reverse too.i don't like seeing full contact fights fought with trunks.

does anyone have any old full contact footage?

HH

The Mathee vs Pajonsuk will be full Mauy Thai rules...

Flame

Mark

Pajonsuk it sounds Pa john suck... hope that helps.

Flame

I think it is pretty cool that Tommy B would fight under any rules. To me, that is a TRUE champion. I would love to see some of the better known fighters be so adaptable. Some of the Dutch and French fighters used to be pretty versitile in their game. Here is a guy that will fight under a variety of rules and not complain about them. Way to go, keep up the good work.

Thanks Flame.

I agree with Doug about the amateur pads thing. In most places amateur fighters don't get paid and still won't wear pads. I personally have too much to risk to fight in a pro format and not make any money. There's a reason that amateur boxing is successful and part of it is by introducing fighters to the sport with the gear on. Too bad there's no single sanctioning body in kickboxing that could regulate everything.

Hey! I do not want to piss Tommy off but!!!!
That pic of Craig's foot in his face looked pretty clean to me!!!! :)
On another note!!! Is it my ignorance or seriously is Tommy the only fighter that doesn't shave/pluck/wax his chest hair??????

Here is the much improved Brian Dobler mixing it up with Victor Galvin October 27 2001 Victorville Ca. ...

Hey Flame , Thank you for showing some of the other side. Looking at this board after the fight I thought that I was in A different fight than I actually was. I absolutley did not fight my best and Craig won but I landed many shots throughout the 12 rds including many low kicks and A couple of good catch kicks,Which was always my favorite thing to do in Sanshou.
Hey Doug, Thank you for the nice words and I think that the sport would be better off if most people just trained to win fights and not get caught up in my style is better than yours like the way the traditioinal schools where for years.
PJ : I have been saying for a long time that I believe that all amteurs should be made to wear full equipment. This makes the fighters last longer and keeps them in the sport longer. It makes my stomach turn every time I see A new fighter fighting without head gear and they get A major cut like top pros do . This discourages many fighters from sticking it out for the long haul.I don't understand what the rush is to look like A pro when the fighter is ready to turn pro then they are acceping A greater risk.I do see mare promoters and sanctioning bodied going toward ameteurs wearing equipment being mandatory. I will only allow top ameteurs to go without equipment if they demand it as it is the norm to do it on other shows. I hope that it will become mandatory on all shows one day so I am not put in that situation as A promoter.There are great ameteurs out there and we should showcase them for what they are .I think when some promoters show some inexperienced ameteurs on Tv it leads peole to think that htese are our top pros and it makes the sport look bad.
Chris: None of those photos show me getting hit with A clean kick or punch there are some what I call flybies meaning just grazing with some defense getting in the way. I know for A fact that I was only hit with A few clean head kicks in 12 rds and the same in Punches as I was the one in the ring fighting.
As you can see from thoe photos of my shots they make contact.
My defence was not as good as ussual or my offence for that matter due to me not wanting to get hit in my left arm but I was proud of my performance considering Craig is A very good fighter and it being A 12 rd fight.

Sorry the one before was the wrong one.

Here's a strong up and coming fighter Josh Bendell...

The Flame-where does Bendell train? Can you tell me anything about him?

Hey Chris, I don't shave my chest or spend my days in the tanning salon because I am not a model or Movie star just A fighter so I spend most of my time training when preparing for A fight.
If I get that Hollywood movie deal that I want than I guess I will shave my chest and go to the tanning salon but for now I would prefer to spend my time training.I have always felt that you look good when you fight good not by doing those other things. This is just my opinion !!

Yeah Tommy I understand!!!! :) it just never occured to me b4 I saw those pics of you and then it was real obvious that almost none of the others had any chest hair!!! Just a strange observation I guess!!!!! Take care....

Thanks Flame! Am looking forward to NM fight with Danny Slade. Should be much improved again! Take Care!

This is the one i meant to post for Josh Bendall.

Mark L.,
Pahjonsuk Lookbraht is one of the best fighters in Thailand right now. His record is about 90 fights, 10 losses. He stands 5'10" and fights around 140lbs in Thailand and about 147lbs internationally. He is currently one of the best kickers in Thailand, great knees, average hands. I am also a fan of Maetee, but he better be careful because he doesn't like to fight in the clinch much and Pahjonsuk gains his edge in the clinch. Maetee is very intellegent though, so I'm sure he already knows this.
Thongsai

Thanks for the insight

Flame

More of Josh in Victorville

Thongsai,
Do you have any pictures of Pahjonsuk or Maetee if you do could you post them please.
Thanks Brother,
Flame

I didnt intend to disrespect Tommy by any means it just looks out of place and I think it adds to confusion on different styles, etc. I despise muay thai trunks in a full contact fight. looks like a karate guy trying to be a nak muay. JMHO> BTW, Tommy you have my respect for fighting any rules but dont you think you suffer by not concentrating on one style and excelling at it ?

After a great amateur career Scott Thorson starting his Pro Career a little shaky but look for him to come back strong.

Flame

Look for Brian Dobler to continue to improve every fight.

Flame

Hi all above
REF: rematches ??
Tommy instead of worrying over a re-match on your own show ! ( as its always hard to fight and promote yourself ! ask MYSELF Richard Smith Duncan A James all from u.k. whats it like ! ??????? HARD as we have all done it ! and i can assure you its DOUBLE pressure )
PLease Tommy consider a TOP class re-match as weve been trying for a year for ! with my fighter JOHN ( the storm ) Hale v Craig the Bullet Buchanan ! this was a TOP fight that we still beleive we / he won (JOHN Hale u.k. England ) JUST watch the video ! and Judge for yourself ! YES Craigs GOOD not under dispute but to say he got a hometown decission is def: true !! He was very tired and hurt in that fight and he / they wouldnt have proper thai rules only the safe usual made up ones in C.A. u.s.a. you will all know about yep ?? ( not Craig or promoter / trainers fault i might add ! )
Please consider this !! as the last fight was a STORMER scuse the pun !! have you ? anyone ? seen the video ?? i know UNICORN on here has !! and hes NOT in the U.S.A. too !
ALSO FLAME please can you pursue this also for us too !! and hey Flame TOP TOP pics: as always ! nice one buddy !
And please if you can give those photos to Howard Hughes if your going to Las Vegas this week ! ? please ! anyone else going ?? on here ??
Ask Howard for a free Car / thai-boxing sticker too ! Danny Brandt has some and Chis Hernandez too ! ( hi buddy ! you ok? chris ! ) cheers sandy Mcpressups holt u.k.m.t.a

Sandy

I understand your frustration and the decision you got fighting in Craigs back yard I think that Craig and John Hale would be a top fight for the near future. I don't think Dennis and Craig would do it on Tommy's show, but I think it could happen in Las Vegas or some other neutral venue. As Craig is a good friend I thought he lost the fight also. I had it three rounds to two for John Hale but when my fighters fight in somebody's back yard like that the decision usually goes to the person with the Home Court Advantage. Meaning you should have gotten at least a draw but not a loss, though one buddy but it probably won't be the last.

Flame

Mark L.

Josh Bendall trains out of Bob Chaney's gym in Upland California, he had a short amateur career but fights very hard. You saw him in Las Vegas on Pay Per View, so you know a little more about him than you think. He fought the kid from fairtex it was the last fight.

Flame

Flame you a GOOD GOOD man !! and we thought EXACTLY the same !!! a draw at worst !! would have been fairer ! but yep spot on 3 to 2 rounds !! it was a TOUGH fight for BOTH men ! and utmost respect to Craig and youself etc: Please try to ask Dennis about it in Las Vegas ! perfect ! ta buddy ! thanks for your thoughts ! cheers sandy man holt u.k.m.t.a

Nobody: I know that this is the way many feel to train for one style of fighting and it will help you to excell. I agree that if you are training for A fight you should only train for that fight. I just think that it would benefit more fighters if more people just trained there fighters from scratch to fight in all styles. This is how I always trained and it worked well for me mainly because there are some things popular in one region and others popular in others also at different times . Being able to fight in different styles gives me and my fighters more opportunities to compete so they gain alot of experience this way.
I have always trained in all styles of fighting as I train with Boxing,Kickboxing,Knees,elbows,Throws,groundfighting and self defense. This is also the way I train all of my students from day one so when they get to A high level of proficiency they are good at fighting not just one kind of fighting. If I bring A fighter out to major fights they are able to adjust to any rules if necessary.This is the way I train 4 year old children from scratch so to them it is all the same ( A fight is A fight).
In my own career I have fought under many different styles of rules and have been fairly sucessful at all of them. Having fought in Point,Continuios,Full contact,Low kick,Sanshou,Sanda,Koushu as well as trained with some of the top boxers and groundfighters in the world. I have won titles in Sanhou,Koushou and 3 Pro World Titles in Kickboxing defending them many times,so I think that I have excelled pretty well.
Actually I like to train in all styles as well as fight in them because it helps to keep me motivated to always work to get to another level.
So I guess what I am saying is that in my experience and with the experince of my Team that I think it is better for the competitor if they train from scracth to be as well rounded as possabile.
I have learned something from people that fight in many different styles and steal from all of them so it would be difficult for me to knock any style of fighting .What can I say I just love all fighting.

Flame,
So sorry, no pictures, just fight tapes of the two of them. If I happen to come across any pics I'll definitly post them now (especially since I finally learned how to post).
Sorry again, Thongsai

Sandy: I would like to see that remacth and I am sure that Craig will give it to him as he is A stand up guy.
As you know it is very difficult to make A fight with 2 guys from out of your region on A show . The cost is too high and my audience would not know either fighter.
Dennis will probably make it happen in Vegas in the future.

Speaking of Vegas I am leaving on Thursday to go to Vegas for the K1 . I hope to get to meet some of you out there. Just look for the Lowd New Yorker we always stick out in A crowd.

Hope to see you there Tommy...

Flame

Hi TOMMY ta for that and yes i understand ! PLEASE sy hello to HOWARD and KAREN from HERE please ! and tell em ya know me etc: ! cheers ! hope Karen wins ! on the undercard !! cheers sandy Mcpressups holt u.k.m.t.a

I figured out who he was today. Thanks though The Flame.

I asume BM is still around? Do you have any idea if he'll be there?

Do you have the fights with Josh and Tongtai vs Tawapitnoi Flame?

Hey Sandy , I will try to meet them and say hello.

Flame, If you see me say hello since I din't know what you look like.

I am looking foward to this event as I am going as a fan to enjoy the show. I am not used to that always having to run around with the fighters or fighting myself or both.

See you there Tommy.

See you there Tommy.

Cool Mark,It will be good to meet you.

Its funny how many people I've met that I knew first from here...yeah, it'd be cool to see you too Tommy.

Flame, didn't Brian Dobbler fight Lady Boy in the When Worlds Collide show last year? Any pictures of that?

I'm going!!! Doug!?? what about you???

Going where? New Mexico? Yes, I'll be there.

Chris, Doug-looking forward to meeting you.

sorry!! I meant Vegas for the K-1...

Well, I can't go this time (need to be home with the baby to score extra points for some other trips I'm going on), but I will go in August for sure.

Mark L.

I have the tape of Thongthai infact I have every fight but the last two I think Josh was the last one that night. BM is not around any more and I don't think he will be fighting sad to say...

Flame

Doug

Brian Dobler did fight Lady Boy at Hollywood Park on Dennis Warner's show. I will Post Pictutes tonight...

Flame

That should be really cool. What happened to BM? Deported? Jump ship?

It's a long story I'll just leave it at that...

Flame

Flame, e-mail me if you can then.

Brian Dobler proved to be to strong...

Brian Dobler winner KO...

It really looked like an exhibition, with both throwing nice techniques, but very controlled. The crowd really booed a lot as the pace was very slow. As soon as Brian turned up the heat, she/he basically quit. Real nice Ram Muay she/he did and the cutest behind in the whole show :)

All so on the card So. Cal. Champion Pongsan Ek-Yotin, his fight will be showcased on the PPV. As he defends his title...

Whats the scoop on him?

Here is Pong in action against Raul Lopis on he's way to the title. September 8 th 2001.

Mark

Pongsan Ek-Yotin was on the cover Martial Arts Legands I think you have or had it. It has his whole story in there.

Flame

I don't know what happened to my copy...thanks though...

Is he the real deal?

He is matched up with this guy... John Washington he the same time you fought that tough little Thai in San Palo.

Not A-class... Thai fighter but not bad. In sep. 2001 was the first time he fought in a very long time. But a very nice guy I wish him luck he should do good.

Flame

Thats Joy!!! Joy Sayarath. Thats not the same guy. I really nice guy. Trains with Ajan Chadett I think.

Also on the card Steve Milles will be a featured fight that will make it on the PPV. He is matched up against a very tough Danny "No Play" Brandt. Here Steve
KO's Ken at when World's Collide.

Mark

Joy fought John Washington and that's who Pongsan is matched up with on this show.

oh :)

Mark

Remember this one??? Great fight...

I need to straighten that base leg out and my body out(more hip less body). :)

Yeah that guy was really nice. I feel bad for him as I had too much weight on him.

Yeah he won but he got hurt I think.

But it was a pretty good fight. I was happy.

Anyone got the video????????

I'll have to e-mail Dennis again. :)

My legs are getting small :(

Mark

I have to look but I think I have a copy. Do you have Thongthai vs Mahtee???

Flame

Yes.

I have a VCR coming today so I will get some tapes copied for you. I also owe Matt one.

Hey Flame,


You don't happen to know off hand if you have any photos of any of my fights? I have one that you took (vs. Duane Ludwig), and was hoping to get some more. Something to show my kids later on, I guess to let them know that their old man wasn't always slow and chubby :)

Hi Bryan

Long time no see... I saw Patrick about three weeks ago I went to His place in Rowland Hts. I took my boys Brian and Paul they love to eat at the boat. Pictures, I'am sure I have something on you when I get back next week I'll see what I can find.

I know what you mean my son Paul is 20 and Brian will be 18 the 30 th of this
month. So I'am already here!!!

Flame

Cool! Thanks! Are you going to Vegas?

Yes I leave tomorrow. After I pick up Bob Chaney we will meet Dennis Warner.
Dennis flew up a couple days ago as he is aready setting up the next show...

www.thaiboxing.co.uk

I heard that either Karen or Angela (don't know which) did not pass the physical, so this fight won't happen at the K-1 tomorrow.

How did Dennis manage to get the Main event with full Muay Thai rules? I didn't think elbows were legal in New Mexico same as California?

I really hope the main event is real MuayThai...I am really looking forward to that fight.

Full Thai Rules???
Indian Reservation maybe?????

I'm pretty sure its a normal MuayThai fight. :)

I thought Indian Res too............

Playtime

Dennis says he has had fights with full muay thai rules in New Mexico as far back as 92.

Cool so that means elbows are legal! RIGHT ON!!!!!

Hey Flame,

Do you know what ticket prices for the NM show are going to be?
PPV price?
Will it be shown live that night and again the next night like the last one?

Thanks
Dan B

Hey Danny

Good to finally see you on hear... Dennis said its preaty much the same as last time, 19.95 live June 1 st. next showing June 3 rd. same price 19.95 there will be other air dates as well check local listing for exact times and Dates and prices...see ya soon Danny.

Flame

The women's fight between Jackie and Angela will be FULL Rules. Without a doubt, Jackie is a much better boxer (6-0 in pro-boxing) but Angela's strenghts in Muay Thai could be a definate factor in this fight. Either way, it should be the best bout on the show.

Here's a pictures Methee in center and Kwame Stephens on the right.

This is Kwame and Mathee after there morning workout, Kwame says Mathee is quite a practical joker...

This should be a great fight.

Flame

World Championship Kickboxing returns to the Land of Enchantment the great state of New Mexico on June 1st, 2002 at the Santa Ana Star Casino in Albuquerque, New Mexico with a spectacular eleven fight pro card.
WCK will make history as this event dubbed “Bad to the Bone” will be the first live PPV broadcast out of New Mexico ever (7pm Pst/10pm Est). Four fights are scheduled for the iN Demand PPV show which will include two World Title fights, one female North American title fight and a title elimination bout featuring the best up and coming USA fighters from the East and West.
The fireworks will start when IKKC California champion Danny “No Play” Brandt climbs into the ring to face KKO artist Steve Milles of New York. Danny known as a well rounded Muay Thai fighter has laid wreckage to William Sriyapai via KO and many others before losing a decision James Cook for the U.S. title and taking on his only professional loss. Steve Milles a tall lean fighter with particularly nasty knee strikes proved multi-dimensional as he KKO’d (right roundhouse) top Armenian fighter Ken Aruturuyan in the last When Worlds Collide event. This fight should be vicious and non-stop from the get go.
The second fight on the broadcast will feature world champion Pongsan Ek-Yotin defending his title against veteran John “Shadow” Washington. Pongsan who electrified viewers last year with an all out war against Cuban Raul Llopis to take the title takes on the slippery Washington in this non-mandatory title defense. Washington…known as the “Shadow” hopes to show plenty of movement and angles to disrupt and confuse the straight up Muay Thai fighting style of Pongsan. Bold like a veteran, Washington chose to take a full contact fight to sharpen his skills & stamina while not hurting his legs just three weeks before this fight. Only time will tell if this is a winning strategy.
The third fight on the broadcast brings together two accomplished female fighters who have defeated everyone in their way except for each other. Angela Rivera dubbed as the American Queen of Muay Thai will face royalty from south of the border as “The Azteca Princess” Jackie Nava comes north to find out who is the best female fighter in North America. Nava an undefeated pro boxer who has also beaten Sunshine Fettkether in Muay Thai kickboxing has tremendous hand skills to go along with a solid low kick and improving knee arsenal… Angela Rivera is renown for her relentless knee attack and great front kicks. Both of these women have focused intensity when they fight and throw every technique with bad intentions.
The main event and final fight of the PPV broadcast will feature full Muay Thai rules as Thailand’s newest sensation Pajunsuk will come to America to face former Lumpini Stadium champion Matee. Pajunsuk comes to this fight being touted as possibly the best “pound for pound” fighter in Thailand…Matee who is just under one year in America is not ready to pass the torch of “pound for pound” to his younger foe until Pajunsuk passes what Matee feels the ultimate test…..to defeat him. Matee has already shown what a world class Thai fighter can do as he dominated a frustrated Danny Steele in his first fight in the USA. Knees, elbows, kicks and hands with be flying for all five rounds as both fighters want to win this IKKC World Title fight which will guarantee a title defense in the fight capital of the world…Las Vegas later in the year….

For those lucky enough to be able to witness this fight live at the Santa Ana Star Casino in Albuquerque, New Mexico seven other professional fights are scheduled for the evening. The top Muay Thai Kickboxing gyms in New Mexico will be represented as they fight foes from across the USA & Canada. Here is the full card as it stands now….

Thank you.

World Team USA?? Is that San Fran area?

Anyone seen Mike Maniquill fight??

Great pics Flame! I heard Josh mention last night at the gym that he had sparred at Craig's and JWP was there!! Very cool! Did Craig spar with JWP at all?? any pics of that? How did that go if He did???

Chris, do you know anything about Mike Maniquill?

You gonna be at the fights? If not I'll try to tell Josh to say hi from me.

Wayne-r u coming to the fights?

Mark,
No unfortunatly New Mexico is a bit of a trip for me!! :)
I will be watching on PPV!! Is Your fighter going to be on TV???
Good luck!

Chris

No, I'm pretty sure both our guys(one from here and one from our Vancouver gym) both will not be shown on TV.

Thanks though. One will be his 1st pro fight and one his 2nd. Niether have had alot of ring experiance. They are also training differently than they ever have before so much is new to them in many ways.

However I'm confident they will both do well, win or lose.

Sandy

I have talked to Dennis and Craig. Craig is just now getting on track with his training He just needs some consistant training with top fighters and that might happen...

Fiame

Mark L

Yes... World Team U.S.A. is in San Fran. aera. I believe Mike fought in San Palo when you fought...

Flame

Yeah he's on the poster...I must have about the worste memory in the world.

I never got that video yet...

You don't have it do you The Flame?

Can you tell me anything about his style/preferances/left,right handed etc?

Chris

JWP and Craig did spar. JWP looks very inpressive great neck wresling skill...
def. of skill... the ability to do something well arising from talent, training or pratice. 2. special competence in performance, expertness. JWP has all of the above...

Flame

Mark L.

Sorry I just have your fight and the girl I took to fight on tape... I don't remeber if he is right or left handed. I just remember he had good fundamentals.

Flame

Mark L.

Sorry I just have your fight and the girl I took to fight on tape... I don't remeber if he is right or left handed. I just remember he had good fundamentals.

Flame

Thanks

Time to revive this thread!!! Now that JWP is on it!!!!!
JWP vs Changpuek
Is this in addition to the other PPV fights or did one of them get dropped/canceled???

Thats what I'm wondering...I really hope Metee is still fighting.

Anthony is too heavy for Jason and so he was suppose to fight Maniquil. I just heard Maniquill was in a car accident. I hope he is ok. So Jason will be fighting someone else...

Either way both our guys are on it...I hope Mike is ok and I hope Metee is still fighting.

Mark

Mathee is still on for sure...

Flame

So, what exactly are the complete list of matchups now?

xman

We will know more in a day or so...

Flame

Thanks Flame ! bet Craigs buzzin for sparring / learning from / with JWP a good confidence boost !
Please can you ask SCOT coker about this match please ! and tell him what a CRACKER the last war was ! and poss: good ticket seller that side etc:
cheers and good luck to your and all fighters on Dennis show ! cheers CHOK DEE

Clint Hale fought him once on a last minuit deal...did quite well 'till it got stopped...I think Clint is still unsure why.

Clint had about 10/11 fights and this was his first pro. I think he may have been winning..I'll have to ask him as I didn't see it as I was getting ready for a fight.

Hi Nick

I will post some pictures in a day or so I have lots but his pictures are at my
other gym in La Puente, Ca. and today I am in La Mirada.

Flame

Mark-

Do you know how to get a hold of Clint Hale? We really had a good time at our fight in March. Made pretty good friends after.
Does anyone have a decent tape of my fight with Will Sriyapai in Victorville in June of 2000? I have one, but it is really crappy. You can barely see the KO.
-Kit

I sure do know how to get ahold of Clint. I am training him right now.

E-mail me...

He'll be in tomorrow i think if you want to phone...probably around 6pm.

Hi sunshine
stranger ! :) :P
hey quick question to you and a few ? of you ?
how is it a FEATHERWEIGHT title with Angela ?? and her opponent ?? as Featherweight is up to normally 56/7 kilos and she fights at 59 to 61 kilos !! ? which IS LIGHTWEIGHT !!!!!!!
and is that NOT your weight Sunshine ? you ever fought Angela ?
cheers sandy man holt u.k.m.t.a
www.thaiboxing.co.uk

Hi Sandy! No, I fight welter and light middle. Anywhere from 145 to 154. I think Angela was 135 the last time she fought in Vegas on Toddy's card, but she also fights lighter than that, I guess down to 125. I've never fought Angela, but did fight Jackie Nava and weighed in at 139...not a good weight for me LOL!

Hi Sunshine! How has the fighting came been for you lately? Any fights? I know you where having a hard time getting anyone to fight you. How was that fight with Jackie Nava? What weight where you for that fight? I fight from 128-135 pounds. Take care.
Angela

Hey Angela! I've been boxing only this year, no MT. I've been able to fight once a month so far. Its been going really good! I lost a decision to Jackie in TJ in March 2001. She doesn't fight like a Thai boxer, she moves more like a boxer as far as footwork. She didn't like the clinch at all and either tried to get out or would wrap her arms around my waist and waited for the ref to break us up. She didn't throw many leg kicks, but did a bunch of side kicks and I think I even remember her doing a couple ax kicks. Her kicks were very good, just not what you're used to seeing in a Muay Thai match. Her hands will be good too, as she has 6 pro boxing matches. Good Luck, hopefully I'll be able to see it live.....if I can figure out if I can get it on DTV!

Angela, what Sunshine says is so true. Where she lost the fight (and it was close) was that she didn't use her Muay Thai enough. Don't be put off by her fancy style and footwork, just use your Muay Thai and clinch the hell out of her. If you let her box and move, she can steal the fight very easily. I don't think she hits particulary hard, but as Sunshine says, she is very versitile with her kicks that are very "un-Muay Thai" like. E-mail me if you want more info. Best of luck.

Doug, aren't you Jackie's manager or trainer LOL?!! Or maybe used to be?

YO SUNSHINE gal
have a look at the TOPIC
female fighters wanted ! ask for 65/6 kilos ! a good un for ya ! ???
cheers sandy man holt u.k.m.t.a
www.thaiboxing.co.uk

After Wayne and Angela spared on Monday we took a few more pictures...

Flame

This is the the frist one I tried to post...

Sunshine, I used to be half of the management team. The other half decided that financially it wasn't viable (as if there is so much money in the sport!) to split my percent of a percent and as a result Jaquie is on her own in America. I still have the standing offer for Angela, but she won't move to Mexico to train and help me part time at the taco stand. Shame on that Angela!
Who is this guy that is fighting Heath Harris? Has anyone for Australia seen him fight?

Hi Doug

Bob and I picked him up from the airport, he just came from Fairtex camp in Thailand really nice guy his name is Steve, should be a good fight.

Flame

What is his story? A lot of fight?
