Kyshenko vs Petrosyan – March 24th
Possibly one of the most anticipated fights of the year is the upcoming clash between arguably two of the best kickboxers in the world. Artur Kysehnko and Giorgio Petrosyan will face off this Saturday, March 24th at Fight Codes Oktagon “La Sfida” in Milan, Italy. Giorgio “The Doctor” Petrosyan has not lost a fight since 2007 and every one of his bouts is a pleasure to watch as the Armenian-born Italian displays what can only be described as absolute artistry in the ring. Petrosyan’s style is a unique amalgamation of slick boxing skills and Muay Thai prowess that has made even the most talented fighters look like novices when they face him. “The Doctor”, a nickname Petrosyan earned due to his ability of picking apart his opponents with surgical precision, makes the sport of kickboxing look effortless. He has defeated the likes of Andy Souwer, Cosmo Alexandre, Dzhabar Askerov, Naruepol Fairtex, Mike Zambidis, Kem Sitsongpeenong, and many more of the world’s best fighters.

Muay Thai is Life’s 2011 Year in Review – Better late than never!
By Eric Rivera As I was reading through a few forums this month, I realized that many people had differing opinions on what they felt were the top fights and/or fighters of this past year. I for one have never agreed with rankings or awards compiled by sports blogs because unless you are a sanctioning organization or large promotion, ranking fighters and or fights is entirely subjective. Many times such rankings are made based on who our favorite fighters are, whether or not we train at their gyms, or favoritism due to ties to a specific region and/or country. With that said I decided I wanted to compile a list of my own to point out what an amazing year 2011 was for Muay Thai, especially in the U.S. which is where MTiL is based. So here is my own list of the top fights, fighters, and KO’s of 2011 as well as a few comments about each. These thoughts are of course my own and don’t reflect the thoughts of everyone on the MTiL staff, so if you agree or disagree, feel free to leave a comment on the post below or head to our Official Facebook Page and drop us a line there. Breakthrough fighter of the Year (U.S.) – Ognjen Topic The Bosnian born Topic made his pro debut in 2011 and save for a very controversial decision loss to Anthony Castrejon made an impressive run that included two stoppages due to elbow strikes.
