Your Best Fights Or KO's

[retired]

Tell me about your most memorable fight or KO or even better show us.
Here's my KO from 1998 in my second fight which was against a local area coach.
the thing i am most proud of with this fight is it was the only muay thai fight of the night, all others where kickboxing which went the distance & i was last on to finish the show due to our top fighters opponent pulling out at the last minute.(Was i nervous).If you send me an email address i will send you an mpg of this KO & other stuff.

My most memorable fight was a streetfight. No pictures I'm afraid. This guy was threatening his ex girlfirend and he was very very aggressive, and wouldn't listen to reason.

He took a dislike to my inteference, and started to threaten all kinds of things as he "does Kung Fu, Kickboxing and Pa Kua". Then he actually assumed the Crane stance (made famous in the Karate Kid film, the one where you raise both hands and stand on one leg).

I simply couldn't resist it. I smacked him square in the mush with a classic Karate Gykau Zsuki, and he went down like a sack of shit.

My buddies (who had been watching me with some hilarity) didn't stop talking about it for days.

Even his own brother (who was also watchging, and aa serving Royal Marine Commando) patted me on the back and shook my hand.

What a night!

LOL what that guy did was rediculous.lol

Havent had that many fights. But the one i remember fondly was when i fought my friend last year. Still amateur though he's turning Pro very soon. As soon as I drop to about 70Kg I will get many many more fights. Anyway

It was a last minute decision to fight him since his opponent never arrived... and since we spar together regularly i convinced our coach that we'd put up a good show.

5 Vodkas later and asking myself what the hell I had gotten myself into...

It was a good fight. I got hammered from the first bell but I allowed myself to get flashy just for entertainment value. The ceiling in the venue was only a few inches above us and at some point I took a few tiles out with a high kick by accident

Turns out I was actually leading on points by round three - since i was keeping my distance and tagging him with low and side kicks. Didnt want to get too close or his punches would flatten me. (consider that i weighed 85Kg as compared to his 104kg)

But he realised he was losing on points and turned up the heat. By this stage i was already exhausted since i had absolutely NO preparation for this fight. 30 seconds into Round 3 I was TKOed by a huge right - and that was it.

Man, what a fight!

You showed real cojones getting in the ring under those circumstances. Excellent!

i agree with you bri-thai it takes a lot of courage for someone to fight in the ring regardless of the outcome, iv'e seen to many people in my time standing on the sideline saying how they would have "dodged this " or "hit there", until you've walked the walk of the warrior past hundreds of people stepping into the ring and looking across at your apponent for the firt time & thinking "what the hell am i doing here & doesn't this canvas feel softer than you thought it was".
the bell goes and the screaming starts, all you can here is the ref & your corner man, everything goes slo-mo until you take that first wallop right on the nose & the taste of blood runs down your throat (you'll probably remember this) & the rest as they say is history.

Good on you

[JP Prideaux]

Heh. Thanks guys

I remember my attention was divided between not getting hit and making sure my shorts were high enough to cover up my flabby waist.

So there's the reason for my FAT BURN thread in the Nutrition Forum

[eighteenvisions]

this isn't me trying to be hype man i will more than likely never meet any of you. anyways I'm about 5'9- 5'10 160-170 lbs it verys. anyways I'm rather slim but have knocked out 2 people that were bigger than me with 1 punch and have knocked over atleast 5 more with 1 punch. I'm not bragging or saying i'm tough. but would that mean I have I'd say perfect form but i don't wanna sound cocky cuz i'm not........ I never look for fights they just seem to find me. I think it's becuz i'm slim and people think that they can punk me or whatever( how could you feel good about yourself punling out someone smaller than you only to fail and get knocked out with one punch. My favorite fight was when i got beat up by a guy who looked like sid vivious the wreslter from wcw I was 14 lik 5'5 120lbs I couldn't even hit him he was huge but my pride wouldn't allow me to be hit and not respond any ways he was huge but couldn't drop me with his hits I kept trying to hit him only to fail miserably but kept at it until he got sick of it picked me up over his head slammed me then stomped me on my chest i swear it was a death stomp! I had a boot imprinytin my chest for a week! str8 up. Anyways if i drop people like that does anyone think that maybe i got something it's not luck becuz it happens in almost every fight i get in. again i repeat i don't think i'm mr cool or anything

[retired]

you MIGHT have good form, they MAY have had glass jaws, you might be LUCKY, who cares as long as you honestly think you had to defend yourself then it doesn't matter what people think, the problem with people who don't do martial arts & are big instantly think they can crush people smaller than them....well guess what....shit happens when they mess with us!!!

[eighteenvisions]

true that!

[crazyjoe380]

my best shit was when i threw a house party.. well an apartment party on the 2nd floor.. my mom's was in vegas... this was a while back..


people were playing cards, video games, smoking weed, p-dogs, doin coke.. the works..

my friend was sleeping on the couch hugged up with some bitaaach...

and a boy he brought was acting up...
i warned him a few times..

"keep it down, keep it down"

see it's kind of my fault but i don't care. this man drinks light beer. he wanted beer so i had 2 old english 22 ouncers in the freezer. i told him he can have them. so when he was done with the beers he went from man to beast. amazing transformation!!

so he was talking about he was going home.. after being so loud in my house and shit...

he came back 20min later.. talking about .. you have my pen! my want my f.uckin pen..

damn!! i was still being cool. i was like yo dog, you should just sleep here for the night and forget about walking home this late.
he kept trippin.. coming in and out of my house. my boy on the couch sleeping didn't want to drive him home... see the drunk wolf was upset about that. this guy already burned out the guests that i had and so now it's only me, my homie, that bitch, and the wolf....

lol@wolf..

so anyways.. he came into my house for the last time.. he sat on my couch and told me "what are you staring at" then that fool said.. "what you wanna hit me?"... "do it"..

me drinking too.. and very very annoyed..

i said .. oh no you just didn't..

i started rocking that fool on my mom's couch..
LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT..
all connected clean...

he knocked out on the first right..

so he passed out right there.. my homeboys woke up.. and was like "what did you do!" he got up and left .. and i was like hey take this piece of shit with you... so i started slapping him.. to wake up.. he woke up a few min later.. and started yelling... "i thought you were my boy!!" ... i hit that fool again..

POW!

"shut the **** up".. i kicked him on the head.. like a clean socker kick.. he was like "kick back dog, kick back"..
i was real upset..

he kept coming towards me with his had like open like saying.. "stop stop".. i told to get out.. he didn't want to get out.. he wanted to squash the beef with me.. i wanted him out.. so i pushed him... outside my step and he grabbed my shirt, and i upper cutted his jaw and he fell down the stairs.. tumbling.. down..

it was loony toons!


so downstairs.. he was yelling.. **** you! .. **** you!

i ran down like.. "whats up bitch".. and he was .. "no no no i'm sorry"...

my boy came back took his ass home..
but me and that dude are friends till this day.. he just knows not to **** up in my house..

the end..

Holy shit Joe, you punched him several times after knocking him out on the first? And then you kicked him in the head? And then you upper cutted him down some stairs?

Can't say I've ever done that.

I am pleased (yet a LITTLE dissapointed) to say that I have NEVER been in a fight. Maybe its because I don't come across as a victim or someone to be started on, maybe its because I'd never throw the first punch and always manage to calm people down. Maybe its because I run away and hide under my bed for two days.

Well whatever the reasons, I don't mind not having had a fight before. However, depsite what everyone says about how they never want to fight, never go looking for them, other person always has to throw the first punch, violence is not the answer etc etc we all know that SECRETLY at the back of our minds we DO want to fight but we want it to be the BEST sort of fight. And that is exactly what happened to this guy I know.

He was in a club with his girl, some drunk guy is hassling her, she tells him to piss off, drunk guy's friend Sober guy comes over and says what the **** you been saying to my friend? The girl's like Nothing, Sober guy's like better watch yourself. Girl's boyfriend (my mate) is like Come on guys leave it out. Later on they leave the club and the two pricks follow and start on the guy. He's like I'm out with my girl, don't do this you two, just leave us alone and they're like **** YOU and swing at him. He punches them both in the face and after a short scuffle the two twats limp off with bloodied noses and my mate and his girl go home and have the best sex ever.

Classic.

The only thing that could have made it better would be if there had been a big crowd of people watching as well.

Lucky bastard

[Dave Tew]

Plus I just want to say that Retired's video clip is well worth asking him for. Two seconds and BAM, the guy is actually kicked right out the ring.

Awesome stuff

[Khun Kao]

My most memorable KO happened in May of '94 in Niagara Falls, NY. The event was USA vs. Canada.

One of the notable things about this fight was it was the first (and only) time that my opponent also performed a Ram Muay. I always perform one, but every other time I competed, my opponent did not.

I remember that the venue was actually a nightclub, and that there was a disco ball above the ring! LOL

There were also quite a number of Thai's present for the matches. Many of the officials were from Thailand. That was cool. Also, the Emcee was blitzed out of his mind! That made for some interesting situations when he was making his announcements incorrectly.

My opponent and I were fighting at 168lbs (super middleweight). As soon as the opening bell rang, he faked me high, got me to react, and then crashed in with a powerful roundhouse kick to my lead leg! My leg was instantly dead weight!

To cover up this fact, I began to force myself into using a lot of footwork and kicking with that leg. I imagine that my opponent thought his kick had not really hurt me, but in truth, I was trying to move it around as much as I could to get some sensation back!

After dancing around each other and "whiffing" a few times, he and I got tangled up on the ropes and I raised my knee as a shield to prevent him from getting in any knees while I was vulnerable. After the match, my opponent told me that I really got him good with that knee. I was like, "WTF?!?" I didn't have the heart to tell him that it was NOT a knee strike, that I was only raising the knee to block him.

So in any event, the ref seperated us and got me untangled from the ropes. We continued to "whiff" at each other until we both stepped in and threw the same exact combo at the same time...

Jab-Cross-Hook

Our Jabs both missed, our Crosses both missed, but our Hooks were both right on target.

My instructor, Master K, is also a professional photographer. He snapped a picture from behind my opponent as we were both in mid-punch with our Hooks. The picture clearly shows his Hook having buried itself into my guard. My Hook, on the other hand, was mere inches away from connecting with his jaw. His guard hand was clearly positioned at his side, practically down by his waist! He dropped like a stone! Though he attempted to get up, he fell back down on his face, then on his 2nd attempt to get up, he fell out of the ring in my corner. The guys working my corner had to catch him!

RESULT: Win by KO, 43 seconds into Round 1

After the fight, I was told that one of the Thai officials watching the match had predicted my winning by KO after observing our Ram Muay's.

A little later, after the matches were all over, I was talking with my opponent. He said, "I don't mean to sound stupid or anything, but what round was that?"
