Muay Kao to another level!
After many fight cancellations I am finally getting my ring time i have been needing! I have been getting itchy knuckles for the last couple weeks and have been hungry for fights.
Last Wednesday I got my chance to fight against a very strong opponent from J.Prapa Muay Thai named Giorgio Campogiani from Italy. Giorgio had won the Bangla Stadium title two fights before we met in the ring using his heavy hands and strong leg kicks to smash his opponents.
Before we even met in the ring I knew that belt would be around my waist!
Like normal I am a very slow starter and take my time and select my shots pretty well. Giorgio was throwing bombs as soon as the round started and had the smile of a madman the whole fight. To many that would probably get into a fighters head and have them shook up but he wasnt just facing off with just anyone in the ring. I have been around the block for a while now and have seen some crazy characters in the ring. That creepy smile made me want to hit him harder so I could knock it off his face!
My trainers at the ring noticed I have really powerful knee strikes and I just dont utilize them enough. So for the last couple months thats all I have been doing is knee strikes when on the pads with Laimongkon, Sanong, Don and extra sessions of clinch with Rafael.
By round four me and my corner knew it was time to take things to another level and bring out my newly improved weaponry. I threw my first knee at my enemy and i heard him gasp for air and he attempted to lock up so I couldnt do it again but i had a lot more experience in the clinch then he did and it was pretty much a wrap after that!
Round five came around and I wasnt just out for blood… I wanted his heart… I wanted to break him and show all my fans and my haters that troll on my pages that im a beast! I pushed forward throwing a knee every chance I got!
By the end of my assault Giorgio ended up with three broken ribs and a punctured lung! I feel like a beast for being able to do such a thing but kinda sad at the same time… Yes injuries do happen in fighting but in thailand we dont make a shit load of cash from fights and hospital bills end up costing more then we get paid! Giorgio if you ever see this SORRY BUD!
Thanks to all those that have supported me over the years! This was only a small stadium title that i had won. Now that i have had a small dose of what it feels like…IM HUNGRY and in time we will see a world title around my waist! ^_^
