I feel terrible saying it, because she is probably one of the best female kickboxers in the world, but I find her fighting style incredibly boring to look at. I couldn't even finish watching the fight. I guess I'm just not a visual fan of savate.

She is usually more exciting, I think she was being conservative because it was a one night tournament and she wanted to save energy and avoid injury. The Savate style is okay, their scoring system usually leads to fighters who throw low power kicks in high volume, kinda like a kicking version of Nick Diaz. A classic fight to see the contrast with Muay Thai is Dekkers vs Pennachio.

No, I mean I've never seen her in a fight that I've enjoyed. She's very athletic, very skilled. But not interesting to me. I feel guilty to admit it. Just me.

Ah I see. I think we all have some styles we find boring, nothin to feel bad about! My eyes will sometimes glaze over watching Petchboonchu shut guys down lol

I was thinking the same thing, in reverse. I can watch good clinch all day long. Hop in, hop out striking, unless at a really elite level, is boring. I will say though, I would like to see the Meksen KO fight of Iman Barlow. Iman's such a nice pressure fighter, that must of been something.
