@TypewritingDA Do you know of any fighters with great in-fighting or specific notable in-fighting performances in Muay Thai or MMA? Seems hard to find without having it turn into clinchfighting in those sports.

It's not unusual for a combat sport to have infighting -> clinch-fighting -> pocket action and vice versa (i.e. Muay Thai and Boxing, though it depends upon the fighters/rules), it's just surprising to realize how there aren't many constantly flowing ones like this in MMA itself.
English
There's a lot happening but I think, if you're able to follow, you can tell how much of these fall into "infighting" (close proximity, almost head-to-head, no tie ups, grips only partially established) vs clinch fighting (very little space, tons of grips established).

@TRAPPADUNYATRAP @dexter13883 10 rounds? That’s only a thing in American long pants kickboxing afaik.
English
@dexter13883 I swear they do 10.
That explains why he got tired
English
No but how did he have such good conditioning and stamina to fight well for that long
I know kickboxing they don’t do 12 rounds

@LorenRTechGuy @ZacPauga If you haven’t already, I’d also recommend checking out Rise kickboxing (who they’re cross-promoting with for the featherweight tournament) and modern K1 as well.
English
@ZacPauga Yes especially in America cardio kickboxing diluted the identity of Kickboxing in the public mind. I’m training in kickboxing & muay thai & I like both. And Glory kickboxing I enjoy watching the most.
English
Unironically I do think the K1/dutch kickboxing style is the best base for being successful and entertaining at the same time. I have no idea why the average person in the states still thinks of satin pants when you say kickboxing
GLORY Kickboxing@GLORY_WS
Is GLORY the best base for combat sports?
English
@zidrozine @ZacPauga Would recommend checking out Rise kickboxing (who they’re cross-promoting with for the featherweight tournament) and modern K1 as well.
English
@ZacPauga I’ve listened to UFC fans complain about boring lay and pray performances for too long for them to not tune into Glory. Kickboxing is the most exciting combat sport there is and Glory is an extremely well put together organization

@MiamiNiiice @buckadeath Which royalists during the Chinese civil war could you possibly be talking about💀
English
@buckadeath Man that part where they hid like bitches in the mountains while the royalist did most of the fighting and dying must be really boring.
English
@esrmuaythai What’s wrong? I thought he still had it this fight (surprising considering Panpayak fought up in weight this time).
English
I think Panpayak should call it a day and retire, end your career on a win bro😭😭

Virgin jab merchant vs Chad loopy punches and spinning shit

@Ruck58581110 You mean in spite of the fighters not having made significant adjustments?
English
People love to say fighters are “new improved” just cause they started to win again
Vinny’s Corner@VinnysCorner1
People really on the TL today talking like the new improved version of El Vaquero Navarrete is going to be light work for an over the hill Lomachenko…. Ain’t no way…..

@runawayslb I see the value in making him mentally tougher. It’s just that pushing him around and saying variations of “Your opponent isn’t gonna stop!” or “More power let’s go!” doesn’t seem as productive or constructive as reminding him to stay in his stance or any technical errors.
English
@SomeBoi108 Yeah get tougher or fail, and then if its too much for him then he learns he ain’t built for it
English
Is there any merit in this if the guy in the gloves is too exhausted and not disciplined enough yet to even stay in his stance?
LUKE@LukeFurryjo
This trainer doesn’t give you a single second to breathe, and that final kick at the end shows exactly why you have to stay sharp every single moment.
English
@TypewritingDA Personally find The Raid 1’s 2v1 fight better due to it being a bit more back-and-forth than this one, but understandable that people would like R2’s final fight more. Not familiar with Drunken Master (or any of Jackie Chan’s older stuff from the 90s besides Rush Hour) though.
English
@SomeBoi108 Can I say it tops R1's 2v1, Drunken Master 2's factory, etc. and so on? I dunno, but I really can't argue with anything when you get to the top fraternity.
English
It's fair to say, choreography-wise and with insane escalated pacing, it's near the absolute best I've ever seen even if I'm not sure what no. 1 is. It takes something special to make a fight scene make people in theaters straight up applaud like mine did when we saw this.
Minifilm Flicks@Minifilmflicks
Greatest fight scene of all time
English
@LukeFurryjo How is the guy in the gloves supposed to defend the counter lead hook without rolling under after throwing the right hand? The padman is already throwing the counter before the guy connected with his right?
English
@OWPhotos @JimKarasBoxing @OWPhotos There’s also the Beyond Kickboxing ranking (here beyondkick.com/rankings/ ) if you want a comprehensive rank across all the promotions to get in touch with the current roster of the sport.
English
@OWPhotos @JimKarasBoxing Watch the Golden Age K-1 (the Heavyweight World Grand Prix and the lightweight MAX tournaments) fights between 1990-2010. I’d also recommend Rise, Glory and modern K-1. One Championship is only the very tip of the iceberg and has very shallow and top-heavy divisions.
English
@OWPhotos @JimKarasBoxing Would really recommend getting into kickboxing if you’re a fan of striking. It’s a seriously under-watched combat sport.
English
@SomeBoi108 @JimKarasBoxing Mine is only a fan opinion, wouldn't want to be beaten up by either
English
@OWPhotos @JimKarasBoxing K-1 (especially during its Golden Age) and Rise say otherwise. The pace is faster and exchanges happen more often.
English
@JimKarasBoxing Isn't kickboxing the soft brother to Thai Boxing?
English
I thought he crapped in the tub to make weight😭😭😭
