Champions of Champions on G4 TV



For those of you with access to G4, they have a show called Champions of Champions. It airs the championship fights from Jamaica this past year as well as fights from the King's Cup tournament.

They will be airing this year's tournament on PPV as well. If you didn't know, the King's cup is a pretty big deal. Some of the best names in Muay Thai will be competing.

The Other Guy

It's easy to get caught up in comparisons. If you know you're better than the "other guy", you probably won't have to bring it up too often. Your performance will speak for itself most of the time, or you'll hear it through other people's compliments.

Sometimes though, the "other guy" will be more advantaged, and can afford more opportunities than you can seem to get. Maybe the "other guy" will get easier fights, or have no life commitments to get in the way of training.

It's easy to look at these people and say you deserve more recognition than they do.

But what are you DOING now? What have you been doing and how much of that lines up with what you SAY you've been doing?

Perhaps you aren't seeing someone who deserves less than you get rewarded.
Perhaps you are actually seeing someone surpass you.

Don't be fooled.

Keep a strong and honest spirit.

Meethee Kiatpratoom vs Pentai Sitnoomnoi (video)



A Rajadamernern fight that has a beautiful and technical beginning, followed by a decisive end.

Spoiler

Far be it from me to critique such high level fighters, but I always feel like there is something to be learned from them. This looks like KO due to a range error. Meethee threw a kick when Pentai was in punching range. It's a solid reminder about the importance of choosing your weapons. Even the best fighters can make these split second mistakes that another can capitalize off of.
