Saya Ito and Little Tiger were both at an event to launch a book about Japan's best female fighters, during Little Tiger's Q and A, Saya asked Tiger why she is only going to Thailand for opponents when she, a ranked opponent, lives so nearby. She then asked Tiger why she doesn't fight her in September. Tiger responded that she'd like to but she'll have to ask her manager.

 

Some pictures from the event. https://m.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=854740714616830&id=447205925370313&set=pcb.854741441283424&source=48

Wow Charlie. Amazing. I guess Saya called Tiger out on her looking for easy opponents so she can hold onto her title. How does that read in Japanese culture? What does Saya appear like in doing this?

btw, is that Saya standing up in the photo? I can't really see her.

I kinda read the same thing into it with regards to hand picking her opponents.

It is kind of a risky thing to do in my opinion with regards to Japanese culture. 

From what I have experienced, fighters do not call people out. I would ask fighters who they wanted to fight and they wouldn't say a name, fighters refused to publicly speak negatively about other fighters ect. Outspoken fighters like Shinya Aoki are either loved or hated by Japanese fans.

I sometimes wonder if it stems from the mentality in Sumo where the champions aren't supposed to express any emotion, be respectful, and just go out and win.

However, Saya Ito is popular and people in Japan want to see her fight Little Tiger so her calling out Tiger would excite them and be seen as a good thing.

      I'm kinda stunned. I went back on my interest and clicked on some ONE highlight which supposedly involved one fighter using the other fighter's "pet move" against them. I played the video and just watched two people throwing crazy techniques and hitting air back and forth. I never got to the "move". Why? How did this happen that missing strikes was a "thing". It's like watching basketball highlights of "moves" where the basket is missed. Why? This seems to be a product of Technique Porn, the spread of demos and "moves" mimicked from fighters, where the actual efficacy is of no merit...until there is a Knockout. A crazy "evolution" of fighting.

      Interesting fight featuring top two 105 lbers of the two Entertainment promotions. Islay Erika Bomogao with the victory, Mongkutpetch complaining later that she was robbed. Round 1 a VERY clear win for Bonogao. Round 2, I don't believe somewhat wonk throws in the clinch really score in Amateur (at least IFMA amateur, I've seen Loma toss fighters all over the place and lose). Seems like a solid win for Bomogao who is a really interesting little fighter, who I kinda love watching fight (even though she's on ONE). Here most recent fight, where she's fairly well handled, until she closes the deal. I love the vitality she fights with, and that she's not a heavy combo-forward fighter.  https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=2029120667993528

      ALL IN. I see high-awareness, well-intentioned Westerners urging Thai fighters to invest (the operative word) in social media content creation (labor), which is smart, even needed advice as it goes. But...in the larger scope, the more you work (operative word) to turn Craft into Labor, the further you work to transform it into an exploitive - that is to say more precisely, extractive - means, and subject it to the forces of de-skilling. "We are not very good fighters...but, please become much more like us, so we can consume you more readily, even as fighting skill erodes". The Nouvelle Era has many hidden pitfalls, not the least of which is the making of the New Man (the hyper individual) who has become supremely digitalized. All this is well and good, as its the tide of the Earth right now, but I say: "Keep an eye on where Craft gets turned into Labor" if you want to trace the operative drain of the human skill and meaning...as we all become Digital Laborers. As we all are Colonized.

      Muay Thai Magazines

      I'm sorry I don't really know. Sylvie is in touch with a collector and this person is where she buys hers, but there are not multiple copies available. Maybe someone else would know of a larger source.
