Highlights
Wow, great video of the whole tournament. I, and all the fight fans, appreciate it very much that it’s alowed to stay on. Thanks to whomever didn’t block it. Thanks Golden Glory?!
The video takes some time to load, but it’s working and worth your while. Peace
Boring fight. Jacoby is aggressive and always ready to fight but he needs to improve his kick boxing techniques much more in order to be really competitive in his category.
Yep, both fighters were below par on expectations. You see that they’re not true thai-boxers/ K1 fighters. There’s just heritage missing, in the strange and semi-contact way that they hop around in the ring, don’t counter-kick and not finishing their attacks with a (low) kicks. I fastforwarded this fight, cause it’s annoying to watch.
I fully agree with your comment that mainly apply for the North-american kick boxers with may be very few exceptions like Valtellini who has Muay-Thai background.
In Europe is quite different because most of the fighters have the heritage you are talking about because their involvement with Thai and K1 fights and corresponding techniques. This is the reason because I prefer watching kick boxing from other countries rather than North-america
