If you’ve been with boxing long enough, you’ll agree that it’s almost impossible to win about against a local boy on home turf. The nearly only chance is to win by KO. But it’s not that easy to do so. Just like Peter Semo’s mistake on May 17. He UD lost to Ukrainian Sergy Fedchenko at Sportpalace Lokomotiv, Kharkov, Ukraine.

I’m not saying that Fedchenko wasn’t good. But if you watched the fight, you would have thought that Semo would win because he is such an aggressive boxer in the ring. Every fight he has fought he always aimed to KO his rival. And that must have been his mistake also.

And because Fedchenko won a 12 round UD over Semo (115-113, 114-112, 120-108), he captured IBF Inter-Continental light welterweight belt. Fedchenko didn’t have as much power in each punch like Semo but at the same time, he was faster and more accurate and his footwork was even better than Semo. So he could hit Semo with wonderful left hook.

At the special post-fight presser, Fedchenko claimed that Semo was good with all his powerful punches and things but he didn’t manage to land a single shot those on him- or else he wouldn’t be at that presser.

And for the ex-champ, he was disappointed with the result and hoped for a rematch. He knew that Fedchenko was fast and had very quick moves. Every time he tried to set a distance Fedchenko threw quick punches and moved around. Seme said he would have to go back and train harder for a rematch one day or for some other great fight.

This situation is world wild. You can’t win a home country boxer if you can’t KO him. In Thailand is the same! However there are some certain rules of judgment and scoring which I’ll talk about tomorrow. So come back again tomorrow to learn Muay Thai rules about Judgment and scoring here at MuayThaiArt.com/weblog.

Welcome to MuayThaiArt.com/weblog! If you’re already familiar with our blog, you know that once a week we bring you some nice VDO clip of boxing. Today is the day!

Kick Boxing or Muay Thai fans all love knockouts! Take a look at this clip, you’ll all say “Damn!” and won’t mind to watch it over and over again.

Killer Boxing Knockouts VDO from YouTube.com

That was the best knockout compilation I’ve ever come across! Fabulous! What made it perfect was the ending.

So which stone cold KO is your favorite? Mine is that guy got KO and he was still throwing punches on the floor. That was cool. And the other is when one guy KO and hang on the ropes then get beat to a pulp white like dead body. I still wonder how it feels like to get KO.

KO is the charm of boxing! We all know it’s one of the most brutal (but the best) martial arts. Those fighters put all their body weight behind their strikes. That’s the reason it’s f**king powerful. But don’t get it wrong that boxers are pussies. They fight for real and they use brains!

I hope you love this 3+ minutes of knockouts clip. Amazing! You can also share your hottest Knock Out clips with us right here. Don’t keep it with yourself.

Back with us again at MuayThaiArt.com/weblog. I guess some of you might have seen this movie already. Strength and Honor, if you take a look at its trailer I’m putting below here, I think you might think the same way I do that it looks ace…and kinda like an epic gypsy film. Many think it’s the best both story and acting. Now let’s take a look at the trailer, if you haven’t seen it.

Strength and Honour theatrical trailer from YouTube.com

It does look promising right. When I first watched it, I really wanna give this one 2 thumbs up. I was over come by the vid. And the music is so touchy. Really brilliant!!

Here’s the synopsis

STRENGTH AND HONOUR tells the story of an Irish-American boxer, Sean Kelleher (Michael Madsen), who accidentally kills his friend in the ring and promises his wife that he will never box again. However, years later, when he discovers that his only son is dying of the same hereditary heart disorder which has taken his wife, he is forced to break his promise in order to raise the substantial funds needed for the surgery that could save his son’s life.

STRENGTH AND HONOUR is a human drama of love and friendship, sacrifice and devotion, set against the violent underground world of bare-knuckle boxing.

Director: Mark Mahon

Starring: Michael Madsen, Vinnie Jones, Patrick Bergin, Pat Shortt

When I first heard about this film that it was about to create a center of attention of global spectators, I was intrigued and had to see it for myself. Before I bring this here, I saw Strength & Honour twice already. The acting was outstanding!!! Except for the awful Irish accents.

So I believe overall most of the people who’ve seen it liked it. There are however complains on the actors’ bad Irish accents.

You gotta see it! It is a very brilliant and well put together film. It’s one of the best films I’ve seen all year.

I guess lots of boxing fans knew and have visited this site already. IMO, Boxnews.com.ua is splendid and so complete. It’s one of my sources. The site is always modernized. Here you can find almost everything about each fight. This is the site I always come to look for updates. However it’s originally made in Ukraine so the official language of the site is Russian. But don’t worry, they also have English version (I’m not that expert in Russian), just click on the British flag above on the left.

In the site, there are boxing related you might want to know also. Besides boxing reports, there are rating, schedule, results, boxers, photos, and links.

What I like about this site is the latest boxing news is always on the left side in every page. That makes sure that I don’t miss any important news. My favorite is schedule. This is one way I keep track of Muay Thai Kickboxing. Just the rating is updated monthly, so some will have to be corrected.

Check out this site! It’s the one I truly want to recommend you today. You won’t overlook any news updates and results, just by one tick to http://www.boxnews.com.ua/?lng=en

Another week passed by. Speak of Thai is back again with another lesson that will teach you how to speak Thai. Like we usually do, we’ll go really easy and with just the basics. Don’t worry if you can’t pronounce it exactly correct like Thais. Remember that there are also dialects that are different in each part of Thailand. What I’m teaching you here is the official Thai that is understood throughout Thailand.

Today topic is “I lost my wallet”. Hey you never know this thing might happen anytime. The point is do you know how to tell anyone and ask for help.

It’s really important to be really careful and always take care of your belongings when you travel. However the chance that any incident might happen is there. So today I’ll tell you how to say “I lost my wallet” and “Could you help me?”

“I lost my wallet” is Pom (or “Chan” if you’re female)-Tum-Kra-Pao-SaTang-Hai
To make it easy to memorize I’ll break it down for you. Pom or Chan is how to call yourself in Thai. Tum here means “to do” or “to make”. Kra-Pao means “bag or pack”. SaTang means “money”. So Kra-Pao-SaTang literally means “money bag” which is a wallet or a purse. And Hai…the last one, I guess you can guess already…it means “lost”.

Now is the way to ask for help. This case if you know what to do or know where to police station is, don’t bother to memorize it. But you can use it in any other situations when you need help anyway.

“Could you help me?” is Chuay-Pom (or Chan)-Noi-Dai-Mai-Krap (or Ka for girls)
Chuay means “to help”. Chan or Pom…you already know these two. Noi here means “a little” or “a bit”. Dai-Mai…I think we already talked about this two words in our passed articles. Dai-Mai means “is it ok?” and the last, Krap and Ka you know they are polite endings for boys and girls.

Not that simple but not too hard I believe. Give it a try! You know it might come handy one day!
