Yo Nas, tickets are free! No need tickets.....just come and cheer our guys on. heard from your trainer that you have a very nice tricky kick...Show me Friday, OK?

Friday? Oh I tot it was on sunday? :?

haha maybe he was referring to their own gym training

there's pro fight? i dun think so rite? gaijinu is there any?

You KO too many opponents, everyone scared to fight you already, see your name also pull out... :green:

Need to pay anot? no need right? Any good souls to advise me? Thanks alot!

#-o haha sorry i mean how can i get the tickets???????

Its FREE....

I heard something about someone pulling out from my weight division. I understand if it's a novice, not fair to fight someone who already fought before. But if the other guy has already been in the ring before ( I have 4 fights) for a few times, I don't understand why not use this opportunity to get some ring experience. It's not too often my weight class has two or more participants!
One should not look at how many KO's the other has, I think this weight class most of the fights end in KO. I'm sure that the other guy has KO's too if he has ever been in the ring. Also one thing, I never have seen any list of fighters before the weigh-ins, I wouldn't know to pull out if Wanderlei Silva should participate! I wanna see also two weeks before who is my opponent! Where can I go and snoop around next time?
I'm sorry if I'm stepping on somebody's toes here, I don't mean to make anybody angry or guilty or anything. Just Imagine this scenario: You really want to be a Thaiboxer. You train and you train. Then you hear rumors that there is a fight coming up in a couple of months! You get this tingling feeling, you keep thinking about it and step up with your training. You maybe skip some pool parties and company dinners, go running instead. You watch your diet, maybe try to shred some kilos. Then you hear the fights are postponed to some undefined date in the future. Maybe one more month, maybe two... Ok, I'll try to stay fit, can maybe order a pizza on sunday and have a beer or two with friends. Time passes until you hear it again> There is two tournaments coming up, next month and the next! Everybody get ready, this is going to be BIG!!! You start again, starving yourself and your relationship. You're either working, training or watching fights from youtube. Until you hear it's postponed again. Maybe SIX MONTHS go by, maybe A YEAR!! And when it finally comes, the big day, all the people in your weight class have disappeared, no fight for you my friend, next time then.

I think I'm going to f***ing change to online poker.

haha... anyway, nice to know a match is coming up... wonder any Singaporean decided to make muaythai as a career? or decide to move into International Pro?

I also want to know, didn't know about this coming fight until about two weeks before, totally no time to prepare. Could the organisers announce events earlier (say 3 months before) next time?

Must ask gaijinu on how to snoop, he's the expert on getting the latest news.

Antti, they should send you to Busan to represent S'pore, it'll be a waste if you can't go just because you can't find a competitor in your weight cat.

Sorry, I was talking about our own gym training sessions #-o ... Oh yes, you have yet to meet Nas but he does come certain Fridays, if he can't make it on his regular day.

haha.. yeah right!!.. haha.. next week i friday but afternoon.. okide see ya sunday bubu!!

thanks dude! \\:D/

eh?? Mystiq is also from ahem.. our trainer's gym??

Hmmm....that's interesting!? }:) }:) }:)

I find this Busan thingy a very last minute event. Is it? Having said that, surprisingly, they are still alot of competitors rearing to go this sunday. Was it an internal upcoming event kept underwraps till the last minute or what, I really do not know.Anyone care to comment.

Thanks for highlighting this! These are some of the exact issues a lot of genuine people are facing here. Its sad and very annoying! I wish we were like the Thais, they can face their opponents naked in the weigh in and are not threatened by who they are fighting irregardless of who's record is superior. When they are in the ring, they do their ultimate. Here in S'pore, we have a "cannot lose face "culture. When ppl see who they are going to fight with , they withdraw. People want to know who they will be fighting with not to study their strength and weakness but to see if the match is a worthy one, if not "dont waste time" kinda attitude.

That is why I dont blame certain practices here. They do separate weigh ins and on the fight day itself, they reveal the contenders. This is currently praticed by the "All Martial Art" competition that takes place locally here every alternate year end.

In fact, gyms should come up with some penalty on fighters like these who withdraw giving all sorts of reasons. So much training focussed on them and at the end, they freak out. Also I am aware instructors have a part to play in this as well, they find out who the potential opponent for their students are and advise them, "dont waste time". I have seen this before.

haha.. ayia.. singapore ma.. people here are kiasu! (means scared lose) and kiasi! (means scared die)
so u can't blame them frm pulling out.. but if its me.. ill fk care who is my opponent and fight.. maybe its my day and happen to land afew nice punches and kicks.. else, the most i end up with a bloody nose? :hysterical:
but i gain priceless experience that will help me for life.. :green:

i feel that is not much of the lose that people are scare of antti , merely the fact that he could really kill u in the da ring

Antti, what's your weight?

haha.. he is in the 80+ cat for sure.. thats the only cat that is hard to find opponents..

but i dun think antti can land any punch or kick to me in the ring at all.. (cuz im nt in his cat! :hysterical: )

but it would be nice to see a heavy weight fight.. dun get to see it everyday..

I'm around 79kg now. And what comes to killing, I can kill only the atmosphere... I'm planning to have some ribs and a kidney removed so I will be in the 69kg category next time!

I thought there was an indian dude at 80kg who was gonna fight?? isnt he some local amateur champ? as he bills himself at some fitness gym?? why did he pull out then if he is the champ

Mmmmm.....ribs!!!! You're making me hungry!! :green:

i got kidney stones lah...

Aiyoh yoh!!!! Lucky thing you told me 11 a.m it starts!!!! If not, by the time we got there at 1 p.m, our fights would have been long over!!!!!!! :jawdrop:

Can someone tell me what time is the semi-pro fights roughly be?

I'll be going to my gym to watch friendly fight with lana gym in the afternoon... so it would be good if I could rush down from my gym to youth park to catch the "highlight"

thanks

haha priss u gg down to watch? i think ill be gg down cine to watch at 11am first.. after tat then go down to our gym.. ang&neo's match is at 4 plus rite

ALL THE BEST FIGHTERS!!

nice fights guys!
