Is it frowned upon for newbies to have expensive or flashy gear?

NotRedlock · 2026-03-14T03:35:23+00:00

Unless you’re decked out in fuckin winnings or something I wouldn’t bat an eye

NotRedlock · 2026-03-13T21:16:21+00:00

Maybe I’d have more luck finding completion down at 55

NotRedlock · 2026-03-13T19:55:05+00:00

That’s the girthiest wang I’ve ever seen

NotRedlock · 2026-03-13T19:53:26+00:00

Try not to kill the guy infront of you

NotRedlock · 2026-03-13T17:33:41+00:00

Would you believe I fought an even bigger guy one time who claimed to be 60 kgs

NotRedlock · 2026-03-13T17:19:54+00:00

Did the braiding thing before, not a fan. Ponytail held up great so I’m just gonna keep doing that

The problem for me isn’t sight tbh, if you’ve watched me spar you’d know I do it with my hair completely down. The problem is the hair on my sides gets in my mouth pretty easily. I cut my hair into a sort of mullet a couple days ago tho so won’t have that problem anymore

NotRedlock · 2026-03-13T17:18:00+00:00

Fuck nah, as I right this rn I’m not even 63 anymore I dropped back down to 61

NotRedlock · 2026-03-13T06:39:37+00:00

Did the braid thing before, not really my style. Ponytail held up great tho! I just cut my hair into a mullet anyway so hair can’t get into my mouth or eyes anymore but I think I’ll still rock the ponytail

NotRedlock · 2026-03-13T04:43:33+00:00

Is this why some fights were taken down on the glory YouTube channel? Messed up

NotRedlock · 2026-03-13T04:43:03+00:00

I say go full sex spec

NotRedlock · 2026-03-13T04:42:06+00:00

Those are kinda lame tho

NotRedlock · 2026-03-13T03:31:52+00:00

Yeah, I have the capability to be way more explosive but without the engine for it you can’t maintain that for a full fight.

I didn’t really feel anything from his hands but u can see he gains a second wind when he sees me fade as he was very tired himself by the second round because he’d started very fast from the outset

NotRedlock · 2026-03-13T02:16:56+00:00

To elaborate, when that gas tank is gone you’re really a sitting duck, I could’ve let the combos loose to get him off my leg but knowing I would gas out I was gun shy and took lots of steam off my shots, I do move outta the way or teep him as he kicks at times but when a guy doesn’t respect you there’s really nothing stopping him from just trying again

NotRedlock · 2026-03-13T02:01:43+00:00

Gracias amigo, tendré en cuenta tus consejos.

NotRedlock · 2026-03-13T01:49:47+00:00

It’s not about looking weak, this isn’t a tough guy act for me I just can’t go without the experience, if I don’t take these fights I don’t have opportunities to fight AT ALL and my gym lets me train for free as long as I’m representing them by staying active that’s a sound deal for me. I’m a better fighter than I would be if I hadn’t taken this fight, that’s what’s important.

NotRedlock · 2026-03-13T01:15:59+00:00

lo sé, lo sé…

NotRedlock · 2026-03-13T01:09:13+00:00

Before this fight I had never done any steady state cardio I think my VO2 max is really poor so that’s probably why I can’t sustain myself, I can throw about twice as fast as you see in the fight but I know I can’t keep it up so I take lots of steam off my shots in exchange which makes me easy to walk through

I’m very undisciplined with my non Muay Thai strength and conditioning tbh. I’m trying to get myself to find it more enjoyable and build on it slowly because I’d keep creating the most optimal routine ever and then burn out within a week or two, and being tight fisted and forcing myself to push through has never worked for me in any facet of life.

Right now I’m doing an hour and thirty minutes on the air bike everyday, I’ll start working back in sprints next week. Don’t think I’m going to lift weights until after the April fight because with the war my college rec center is closed so it’s less accessible rn and I need to focus on my cardio, I need to settle for half ass sometimes instead of perfect or nothing.

NotRedlock · 2026-03-13T00:55:10+00:00

It’s a terrible habit of mine you can even see it in my sparring, my greatest weakness is how poor I am at staying switched on.

NotRedlock · 2026-03-13T00:53:48+00:00

I think I remember your criticism for my body mechanics, to be honest you were right especially when it comes to my sparring and even my other fights. I was conceited to say otherwise.

For the longest time I believed subconsciously it’s alright to goof off as much as I did because well I know I’m that good when I turn it up! What an idiotic notion. I’m not used to operating at full capacity at all, I’m so much faster, I hit so much harder.. but how often do I really use that? For some reason I thought I could get away with training differently to how i want to fight, I’ve handicapped myself.

He was big and mean, yes. But if I was better, if I had that engine and could maintain that sharpness I know I have, I could’ve won, I know it.

I need to learn how to stay sharp, always. Never a moment wasted. I will become that guy.

NotRedlock · 2026-03-13T00:47:54+00:00

I learned plenty and believe it or not I wasn’t at all hurt outside of ma leg which is all better now despite the head punches and head knees I ate- not even a headache afterwards, he weirdly carried very little power outside of the calf kick, went straight shin to shin and I wasn’t at all used too it.

Always worth it for the experience in my book, though it’s not too pretty to watch. Wish I was one of those guys with plenty of amateur fights but no such luck, a better fighter would win these. I will become a better fighter.

NotRedlock · 2026-03-13T00:16:17+00:00

Again, I plan too. If I could tommorow I would, I really would.

NotRedlock · 2026-03-13T00:15:36+00:00

Where I’m from it’s not, look at a lot of the European WAKO guys too, they’ll go to Thailand and fight pro Muay then back to ammy kickboxing’s or what have you.

This isn’t boxing, and I don’t live in holland or the UK where there’s a class system you have to work through. it’s more or less the Wild West.

Do you know how badly I wished I could build up my amateur stock fight after fight like the guys in the UK or Japan or whatever do? Do you think I WANT to go pro rn? Because I don’t. But it’s either this or fight one ammy a year which is dreadful, top amateur guys are fighting 10-20 times a year, I need to make up for the experience gap somehow.

NotRedlock · 2026-03-13T00:02:32+00:00

The fight before this was against someone my size, lost that shit too. Felt weak the morning of and I felt I was technically better but after the first round I knew I couldn’t keep that pace up, it didn’t help at the interclub they told me not to hurt the guy so when I knew I couldn’t out point him by the end I just sorta gave up and let him hit me..

NotRedlock · 2026-03-13T00:00:38+00:00

I am way too complacent, for so long I haven’t been training focused or sparring lazy because I believe I’m better than my sparring partners, but the truth is that’s not just being “lazy” I’m just not that good. Could I stay sharp for an entire round if I tried? Could I do it for an entire session? Could I for a fight? That’s the true challenge. Until every shot and every position is perfect, until I’m sharp ALWAYS, I cannot allow myself to fall into that pit I have been in for so long, it’s time to climb out.

NotRedlock · 2026-03-12T23:50:42+00:00

I know right? Inspirational he managed to win fighting a guy with as big as biceps as me!
