Artur Kyshenko v. Teerapong Dee Fight Video

by Fraser Coffeen on Sep 1, 2010 6:10 PM EDT in Fight Videos

Here's a fight I am glad to be able to share with you all because I honestly wasn't sure if it would be made available. This is Artur Kyshenko's fight last night at the SportAccord Combat Games 2010 in Beijing. It's a semi-final fight in the 71kg division in Muay Thai. Muay Thai rules, with 4 rounds and headgear. His opponent is Teerapong Dee from Thailand. Wish I could tell you more about Teerapong, but I am not familiar with him.

The video starts towards the end of round 2, and is complete from there.

Watching this fight, one of the things that most jumps out at me is how well Teerapong reads Kyshenko. He seems constantly one step ahead, so that even when Kyshenko is pushing forward, Teerapong is the one scoring first and defending whatever Kyshenko throws against him. As for Kyshenko, he looks somewhat tentative, not quite committing to his strikes fully or using enough movement. I'm not trying to take anything away from Teerapong, who looked great here, but this is not Kyshenko at his finest.

Which begs the question - is Kyshenko simply holding back a bit here because of the setting, or is this a problem we're going to see crop up again in Kyshenko's performances? The MAX Grand Prix will be a telling event for Kyshenko and will say a lot about where he stands.

How is this a surprise?

Because these guys fighting on an international stage are the only thing people outside of Thailand see, so called “Fans”, think they are the greatest.
If you were a fan you would watch Fights from Thailand as well which are very easy to find if you look.
If you would just watch and accept that being famous outside of Thailand isn’t everything, you would realise that not hardly anyone of these top international kickboxers could even rank in Thailand.
And I love K-1 and Its Showtime and all because I get to watch it in english, and is easier to follow, but that doesn’t mean they have the best thai boxers.
That is something that most K-1 fans can’t accept though I guess.

Not the same sport.

K1 and Muay Thai are entirely different.

Shane is just a little biase because he is obviously a muay thai follower.

I like both in holland we have the slamm events where thai fighters compete against dutch kickboxers under muay thai rules

"What pissed me off is that I’m Little Floyd’s father, They’re showing on TV him talking about this loyalty to Roger. F—- Roger! I’m his daddy. His loyalty should always be with me. I’m the reason he’s here today. I gave him life. Now he’s got Leonard Ellerbe and Roger sucking up to him. They’re just around to rip him off. He’s going to find out just like he did before."
