The Muay Thai Team of Absolute MMA Thailand wrapped up the last week of the month by returning to Bangla Boxing Stadium with 3 fighters ready to showcase their skills on the 25th of April. First up, we had our Chinese visitor Yu Chen Jun Mu Ga. After a hard start, both boys looked up for the challenge. The first round saw Yu Chen landing some heavy leg kicks, which dropped his opponent, Yu Chen going in for the kill early. Congratulations on your first round stoppage!
Next, Absolute MMA Thailand regular Olivia Ritchie returned to the ring, keen to get back to her winning ways against a much heavier Thai opponent. Olivia utilised some crafty footwork and stance switching, constantly racking up points on the scorecards. It was the 3rd round that saw Olivia land some nasty elbows in the clinch, causing the referee to call an end to the fight! Well done to Olivia on a well-deserved win!
Finally, Alexander Welin took to the ring looking to capture a Bangla Stadium title in the main event, against a very talented southpaw fighter from New Zealand. Alex had the better of the boxing exchanges with his opponent constantly backing up, with the Kiwi fighter using his reach advantage well. Alex found some success late in the 5th round, but came up a little short on the judges scorecards.
Job well done by the Muay Thai team on all three accounts, you all performed well and were great representatives for the gym. Thank you to all the coaches who came down to support the team!
The team continued to represent at Bangla Stadium through to Friday night, with two of our fighters, Robert McNee and Yang heading to war! A clean sweep for the team here, with two wins from both boys. First up for the team, Rob made sure to utilise his height and the Thai clinch very well, delivering heavy knees to his opponent. Congratulations on your second round K.O Rob!
Next up was Yang. Yang’s strong K-1 base quickly became apparent as he used his left low kick to continuously attack his opponents leg. Well done to Yang who won via leg kicks in a round 3 stoppage! What a weekend for the team!
