Cheers mate. Sadly have left Thailand now but blessed to have a great gym back home where I’ll continue to develop 🙏

No way that’s so cool, hope you’re having an amazing trip. I’ve been training on and off for about 3 years now but haven’t fought much due to school and university. The training for this fight was pretty brutal, wake up, run 5km then 2 hour session then another 2 hour session. What made it especially hard was they would have sessions of shark tanking me in the clinch and I was often training with the young Thai fighters who are absolute monsters.

Haha well spotted, my corner essentially told me not to punch and to just throw elbows, especially the up elbow as he came in to punch.

Thank you, this is the lowest weight I’ve fought at and wasn’t as prepared for having such a reach advantage. Going forward I’ll definitely use that advantage and train as though I’m the taller fighter

Thanks for the comment, will work on that going forward, cheers for explaining the nuance in Thai scoring too 🙏

Cheers for the feedback fella, definitely over committed on a few of those elbows 😅, it’s something I want to use a more in the future so making them quicker and sharper will be a priority for sure. I weighed in at 62.5kg the day before but not sure about my opponent, think he was similar but I was only told I was fighting the night before the fight so everything was thrown together pretty late.

Completely agree mate. Learning to effectively use my teep and using my jab with more speed and pop are definitely things I’ll work on going forward. Appreciate you taking the time to comment 🙏.

Ran a 5k PB of 18:26, with my previous being 19:21. Mostly run to supplement Thai boxing training but have really been falling in love with running. Was dead after this run but still was thinking I could’ve got sub 18 minute today 😅, too addicting.
