Slamm is back! Holland vs Thailand VII scheduled for May 27th, 2012!

Posted on February 10, 2012 by muaythailife

Before there was Its Showtime, Lion Fight Promotions, M-One, or the MPL, the absolute top dog in the world of Full Muay Thai rules promotion was without out a doubt Slamm! In their previous 6 events, Slamm allowed us to witness the mind melting match ups that wear Tyrone Spong vs Kaoklai, Andy Souwer vs Yodsaenklai, Saenchai vs Fabio Pinca I, Anuwat Kaewsamrit vs Mosab Amrani, Orono Wor Petchpun vs Willaim Diender, Bovy Sor Udomsorn vs Faldir Chabari, and many more! In my opinion, outside of the Thais, the Dutch are the best in kickboxing and Muay Thai, and it would be honestly hard to argue otherwise. I’m a huge Dutch kickboxing fan and was besides myself with excitement when I caught wind that the absolute badassery that is Slamm’s Holland vs Thailand events were making a comeback. On May 27th, 2012, the new and improved Slamm will return with their 7th installment of the Holland vs Thailand series! And as was always customary with every Slamm event, the amount of talent and firepower they will bring along is second to none. So without further ado, here are just a few of the fighters that are scheduled to step into the ring at Slamm VII. FIGHTERS: Mootje Khamal Miles Simon Pornsane Sitmonchai Ilias el Hajoui Bovy Sor Udomsorn Anthony Kane William Diender Nonsai Sor Sanyakorn Giga Chikadze Saiyok Pumphanmuang Nieky Holzken Faldir Chabari And so far these are just a few of the names that will probably appear on this … Continue reading →

Muaythai Premier League Round 2 in Italy – NEWS & RESULTS – Upsets, bloody battles, and more!

Posted on October 9, 2011 by muaythailife

The second round of the Muaythai Premier League took place yesterday in Padova, Italy. And once again, with the amount of talent the MPL has on its roster, the fights did not fail to impress. Now although we have heard some comments regarding iffy decisions on the judges part during this event, until we can actually see some of the fights and examine them more closely, we will reserve our comments on the subject. We try to be as unbiased as possible at Muay Thai is Life, even when fighters or close friends of ours lose a fight and claim the judges decisions were flawed. With that said, the event definitely brought with it its fair share of surprises and excitement. Perhaps the biggest upset of the night was that of American Ky Hollenbeck’s win over the highly regarded and favored Jordan Watson of the UK. Although we did not see the fight, Hollenbeck dropped Watson in the first round with a spinning back fist and although Watson claims he was on his feet immediately and thus shouldn’t have been given a standing 8 count, the 8 count was given. Hollenbeck’s unorthodox style, which may not be the prettiest display of Muay Thai for some, is effective and has continually brought the American success against some very talented opposition who can’t seem to find their rhythm against his constant onslaught. It seems every fight Hollenbeck has been in as of late, is consistently labeled (even by our site) as the … Continue reading →

Thai Fight Extreme Results & Recap: Buakaw, Sudsakorn, Saiyok, and Pinca get the win. Yodsaenklai upset by Yasuhito Shirasu

Posted on August 7, 2011 by muaythailife

I have to admit that I wasn’t too impressed with Thai Fight Extreme after their last event in France. And after taking a look at the lineup of fighters that would be facing the Thais during this installment of Thai Fight, I was pretty sure that the Thais were going to wipe the floor with their Japanese counterparts. But sometimes, it’s good to be wrong. Except when doing math. I remember this one time I was in the middle of solving this really long equation and I guess I had forgotten to carry a one, or had forgotten to change a sign, and I was left with scratch paper covered in pencil markings, eraser residue, and a multitude of solutions. I remember that as I became overwhelmed I excused myself from my desk, ran to a corner, started breathing into a paper bag, and began sobbing quietly. Right when I was about to cross the brink into insanity, I felt a hand on my shoulder, and as I looked up, my 3rd grade teacher told me that I could go home early and she would call my parents. Anyway, I digress. The point is that last nights Thai Fight Extreme was pretty good and I was wrong to think that the Japanese fighters wouldn’t stand a chance. After Saiyok completely dismantled Koh Suman with brutal body kicks and left his face looking like he had fallen out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down, I … Continue reading →
