Google Translate:

The past two weeks I have been in Thailand. It would be for vacation. But because I'm in America July 10 would actually fight and was still "fight ready." Am I just going by train. I asked Rosalie and Sakrungroj to arrange a fight.
Well last Friday was so far. I would against a strong lady from Bangkok. 50 Fights had already turned and she could stairs very well and she would do English boxing .....
Then came into the hall, I saw someone who looked a lot like her picture, but she looked more like a boy. And had made considerable sturdy legs. But it was her. I got a real Thai massage with preparation and ritual. Really super to agree.
Well the main fight was announced so I go in that ring. Here is the video of the fight ...... Unfortunately, I did not much satisfaction can get out but I did it again ff race had feeling. On to the next

Feels like a typical farang vs Thai mismatch. The video makes me sad, honestly, though surely nothing in Jorina's control. Once again, Thai refs know what they are doing. Re-watch the fight just looking at the ref from the :45 mark on. He's on it.

I find this difficult, if you get put in the ring with someone who obviously isn't on your skill-level, what options do you have?

 

I thought she did a good job, she mostly teeped. It's more about how frequent mismatches occur. I imagine though that for female fighters as big as Baars who fights up to 67 kg, it's hard to find Thais large enough, and skilled enough in Thailand. Perhaps why a fighter like Julie Kitchen seldom fought in Thailand, and when she did it was against a westerner. (Though I'm guessing, I don't know the weight class.)

Yeah, I feel like she did well too, I'm glad it was a Thai ref, like you said they really know what they're doing. I think it's even sadder when it's a mismatch and someone gets knocked out or injured. 

I think Julie's main fighting weight was 63kg, I don't know what the typical fight weight is for a Thai female but I'd assume that would be the top end of the scale. It could've been for other reasons though such as money.

Good to see a ref. doing a fine job. Unfortunately that it happend like this.
Since I also speak Dutch I tried to translate it without Google, but my English is not that well. This is what I made of it:

 

The past two weeks I have been in Thailand. It would be for vacation. But because I actually would fight in America on the 10th of July and was still "fight ready I just kept training. I asked Rosalie and Sakrungroj to arrange a fight.

Well last Friday was so far. I would fight against a strong lady from Bangkok. She had already done 50 Fights and she could kick very well and she would also train English boxing .....
When I entered the venue, I saw someone who looked a lot like her picture, but she looked more like a boy. And did have quite sturdy legs. But it was her. I got a real Thai preparation with massage and ritual. Really great to experience.

Than the main fight was announced so I go in the ring. Here is the video of the fight ...... Unfortunately, I did not get much satisfaction from it, but it gave me the fight feeling again. On to the next.

    • I can only comment on Perth. There's a very active Muay Thai scene here - regular shows. Plenty of gyms across the city with Thai trainers. All gyms offer trial classes so you can try a few out before committing . Direct flights to Bangkok and Phuket as well. Would you be coming over on a working holiday visa? Loads of work around Western Australia at the moment. 
    • [someone posting that students shouldn't be allowed to spar without 6 months in Foundations Class]   Not to respond too directly to the above statement, more to just this kind of advisement which is maybe common, but it just shows how far trad Muay Thai development was from today's class centric, out of Thailand (but probably in some parts of Thailand too) is. They are just two very different worlds and practices. Sparring, especially as it seems it was in the Golden Age...was part of foundations. Yes, there was a lot of grueling bag work or shadow boxing, but sparring playfully in space was part of young fighter development. It's not this extreme, but its a bit like saying you shouldn't get on a surf board until you have the fundamentals down for many months. The point was to assemble fundamentals in relationship to others. And, I certainly understand there are huge differences between these worlds, Westerners spar with different intents. It's only to point out that what Thais traditionally achieved was through very different sensibilities over what Muay Thai even was.  It much more than this, I hope to finish an article on how trad Muay Thai is developed as social rite of passage way-of-life development, but at minimum there is a huge difference in concept in how skills should be acquired.

    • Hi, I'm considering moving to Australia from the UK and I'm curious what is the scene like? Is it easy to fight frequently (proam/pro level), especially as a female? How does it compare to the UK? Any gym recommendations? I'll be grateful for any insights.
    • You won't find thai style camps in Europe, because very few people can actually fight full time, especially in muay thai. As a pro you just train at a regular gym, mornings and evenings, sometimes daytime if you don't have a job or one that allows it. Best you can hope for is a gym with pro fighters in it and maybe some structured invite-only fighters classes. Even that is a big ask, most of Europe is gonna be k1 rather than muay thai. A lot of gyms claim to offer muay thai, but in reality only teach kickboxing. I think Sweden has some muay thai gyms and shows, but it seems to be an exception. I'm interested in finding a high-level muay thai gym in Europe myself, I want to go back, but it seems to me that for as long as I want to fight I'm stuck in the UK, unless I switch to k1 or MMA which I don't want to do.
    • Hi all, Does anyone know of any suppliers for blanks (Plain items to design and print a logo on) that are a good quality? Or put me in the right direction? thanks all  
    • The first fight between Poot Lorlek and Posai Sittiboonlert was recently uploaded to youtube. Posai is one of the earliest great Muay Khao fighters and influential to Dieselnoi, but there's very little footage of him. Poot is one of the GOATs and one of Posai's best wins, it's really cool to see how Posai's style looked against another elite fighter.
