Too Fast

Dzhabar, in his famous Muslim-meets Thai pre match getup:

Was watching the Muay Thai reality show , Contender Asia (again) this time, John Wayne was in and KO-ed was Dzhabar.

Ok, other than a nose that badly needs a plastic surgeon ASAP (no, not from this fight) , this is a good guy with a big heart , great personality and immense drive and determination and strong moral upbringing .

And lots of R.E.S.P.E.C.T to him.


Well, expectedly, he was in tears when
he lost and became 2nd runner up
(ok, this ain't no pageant, but just saying.) .

He's words were very inspiring and insightful .

" People say I am young. But time is going fast. I must do everything fast."


Well said.

He's the one in Green.)
Finally someone with Brawn and Brains.


Q

> One very Unforgettable Contender.

Now it is Yod and John Wayne to slug it out next week in the Finale and One will the The Contender. Watch this space.

A Fight as Hard as Candy

Scottish, Sean Wright.


Was watching the Muay Thai reality series 'Contender Asia' again tonight (yes I am a self confessed obsessed-fan of the show)
and Sean Wright of Scotland got kicked out.


He was KO-ed by non other than the eventual winner of the entire show, Thai fighter and world champion, Yodsaenklai.


Well, dear Yod now has the distinct reputation of defeating the only two Eye Candies in the show.


(The final 4: Yod in Yellow. And Sean, in Blue)

First, it was during the initial Q-finals, where fellow Thai, Naruepol,was ousted, now, beaten as a semi-finalist, (that's 4th position overall 4 u) , is Sean.

Perhaps that's what the producers wanted.

Looks versus the Goods.


Eh?

Q


> It was a fantastic fight! ^^ Sean is one hell of a dude.

Lost in the Fight for Reality




Was watching Contender Asia , and it's sad to know that Naruepol, from Thailand (top), my favourite contestant, was finally kicked (literally) out of the reality-show competition.

It's a sad day because , we're talking about TV here, and here is a fella that not only has the goods (*on all counts) and definitely has quite a fan base.

Such cruel pairing that was not to his favour.

He was paired to fight it out with fellow thai and friend , Yodsaenklai.
(below)

Who's one of the best fighters in the world today.

I mean, this is cruel and unfortunate timing right... ?

Naruepol is easily the second best but for the sake of reality-tv hoopla , the producers just had to make this happen mid way to keep ratings up.


So suffice to say, due to the nature of the competition, it's easy to see that , besides the eventual winner for the entire competition, everybody else may not be kicked out in accordance to ability but pure luck.


BB Naruepol, here is a fan that'll miss your kicks on TV, surely.

Q

>> But seeing Yodsaenklai talking about how he's fighting hard for a better life for his mum and poverty-stricken family, and how he and his mum showed such bonding with each other during a special visit, it was indeed heart-warming.
(Bastardized producers!)

Contender Asia




From the producers of The Apprentice and Survivor, this is probably the most riveting reality show ever to be made here on this puny island
(shameful isnt it?)

Anyway, unlike the Bullsh*t that is WWF, this here is the Real Deal.

The real raw-talent. The training. The genuine conviction to win honour and glory.

Yes, the prize money is big , but you do sense it's not all fluff.

The blood, (lotsa)sweat and tears.

(Check out my fave: A Lumpinee and Thai Champion, 22-year-old Naruepol is one of the most popular fighters)


Makes you wanna try out Muay Thai any time now.

I could... Wink^^
