Brotha from anotha motha!
When I first arrived at tiger in 2008 I was greeted by a few of the trainers and kids at the camp but a few of us became super close and pretty much became family. We ate, slept, trained and partied together everyday. These guys were one of the reasons I have stayed at tiger for so long!
As the group had gotten older we started to split up and train at different gyms but a few are still at TMT. One I truly consider my little brother, Don has been with me through thick and thin. We know each others ins and outs since he has been my trainer ever since he stopped fighting a few years back due to problems with his legs and being in the game for over 10 years.
Don is a super fast and very slick nak muay with almost ninety fights under his belt. Don is a very strong boxer but has gotten many KOs by vicious headkicks and elbows. Before the young cats like E, Kok & Top came on the scene at Tiger Don was out here taring it up!
Don has gone home for a little while due to a death in his family and it feels weird not having him around…We are always making fun of each other, pulling pranks on other teammates and mimicking weird fighting styles people have at the stadiums. I miss my lil bro Don but I know he will be back in a week or so and then we can get back to our normal shenanigans.
