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 say unreal, but in another sense there is a reality to spectacle, almost an alternate enjoyment enjoyment that includes all sorts of values, but...it does not count. It is not added to that register of counting and measurement. This, I suspect, also helps explain thrown fights in even Bangkok stadium Muay Thai. When a fight is thrown, even though many will be upset, there is an additional sense of "I see what happened there, this wasn't real". The fight then slips into spectacle. This "counts" vs "spectacle" in Thailand doesn't quite match up with Western concepts of sport, where things are just real or fake, with strong judicial codification. This is one of the complexities in trying to produce "Entertainment" (Spectacle) versions of the sport/art, that are regarded as the "most real".
    • Geez, that was completely unexpected. Thought Diandra Martin would kind of walk through Hongthong tonight on RWS, but instead a very sharp KO on a 1-2 from Hongtong. Hongtong looked at a size disadvantage even, and Martin had beaten Amber Kitchen on ONE (looking it up). Our interest in this fight was Sylvie has fought Hongthong 4 times herself giving up huge weight (about 22 lbs), and we almost always are pulling for her ex-opponents (nothing against Diandra, we just don't know her). We know Hongthong and her gym, her gymmates, and her coach well. This is a huge win for Hongthong who has been fighting Muay Thai for long time. I also suspect that Diandra wasn't well served by fighting a patient, "Thai Style" fight. When Hongthong can reset, reset, reset she's on much more comfortable ground.

    • In my experience, 1 pair of gloves is fine (14oz in my case, so I can spar safely), just air them out between training (bag gloves definitely not necessary). Shinguards are a good idea, though gyms will always have them and lend them out- just more hygienic to have your own.  2 pairs of wraps, 2 shorts (I like the lightweight Raja ones for the heat), 1 pair of good road running trainers. Good gumshield and groin-protector, naturally. Every time I finish training, I bring everything into the shower (not gloves or shinnies, obviously) with me to clean off the (bucketsfull in my case) of sweat, but things dry off quickly here outside of the monsoon season.  One thing I have found I like is smallish, cotton briefs for training (less cloth, therefore sweaty wetness than boxers, etc.- bring underwear from home- decent, cotton stuff is strangely expensive here). Don't weigh yourself down too much. You might want to buy shorts or vests from the gym(s) as (useful) souvenirs. I recommend Action Zone and Keelapan, next door, in Bangkok (good selection and prices):  https://www.google.com/maps/place/Action+Zone/@13.7474264,100.5206774,17z/data=!4m14!1m7!3m6!1s0x30e29931ee397e41:0x4c8f06926c37408b!2sAction+Zone!8m2!3d13.7474212!4d100.5232523!16s%2Fg%2F1hm3_f5d2!3m5!1s0x30e29931ee397e41:0x4c8f06926c37408b!8m2!3d13.7474212!4d100.5232523!16s%2Fg%2F1hm3_f5d2?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI0MTAyOS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D
    • Hey! I totally get what you mean about pushing through—it can sometimes backfire, especially with mood swings and fatigue. Regarding repeated head blows and depression, there’s research showing a link, especially with conditions like CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy). More athletes are recognizing the importance of mental health alongside training.

    • Hi all, I am fortunate enough to have the opportunity to be traveling to Thailand soon for just over a month of traveling and training. I am a complete beginner and do not own any training gear. One of the first stops on my trip will be to explore Bangkok and purchase equipment. What should be on my list? Clearly, gloves, wraps, shorts and mouthguard are required. I would be grateful for some more insight e.g. should I buy bag gloves and sparring gloves, whether shin pads are worthwhile for a beginner, etc. I'm partiularly conscious of the heat and humidity, it would make sense to pack two pairs of running shoes, two sets of gloves, several handwraps and lots of shorts. Any nuggets of wisdom are most welcome. Thanks in advance for your contributions!
