jenk vs zambidiz,who will win.

[lamb_chops]

I wanna highlight the fact that jenk and zambidiz on august 12th will stop tha world as this fight will be one of the best fights in history.I think jenk will beat zambidiz he has too many moves for zambidz and his skill level is amazing. his last fight against cope was a war but jenk was sic leading up to the fight and was not able to get fit,but jenk at full strength and fitness will beat any kickboxer. people that think jenk bearlly beat cope and would have no chance against zambidiz did not know jenk was sic as a dog and unfit,and should now know jenk at full strenth is an unstoppble fighter,trained by the legendary johnny scida,dont get me wrong zambidis is strong and alwasy keeps his hands up high,but jenk with so much experenice will put him down.

Sorry Lanb Chop i have to disagree with you on this one. I think that Jenk "is" top class, technically gifted, works hard and always comes to fight... "BUT" Mike hit Jenk with a few Head shots, Jenks only fault ( that i can add here) is that he "does" get hit clean, and Zam is a much better boxer than Mike. Zam likes to work the body like Jenk as well, but again Zam ( i feel) Jenk has found someone who hits hard and often, plus Zam can also kick. even if they are used to set up his hands. I personally think that Zam will do to Jenk,, what he did to Baris.

Lamb chops just remember Mike had only had a little over 2 weeks notice he wasent even hardly training he was teaching at the malvern martial arts. And also he is mainly a Knee fighter

[memek]

Jenk Behic is a great technician. "A" class fighter... but does not have NO WAY near the amount of power that zambidis posseses.

Power and the fitness of zambidis will beat behic. But my heart is with JENK.

august the 12th? where did you here that from???

[delusion]

I think that it would be a war i cant decide who would win anythimg could happen a punch to the chin and its all over.. but im leaning to Jenk's way his a great fighter i reckon he has it to win zambidis but i wont underestimate zambidis it could be over early..

[krama]

Well, well
I must say I agree with Sotty and Memek on this one.
Behic IS a great fighter, great skills and stamina, BUT Mike is a couple of notches higher up when it comes to speed and ESPECIALLY power!!. If you can, go back and take a look at some of Mikes fights.
The power he has is unbelieveable, and his mental attitude is simply frightening. I studied some of his fights and let me tell you when he fires up nothing can stop him. That is what will happen to Behic, Behic will hammer him with shots initially, this will make Mike go tropo and he will simply unleash a frenzy of powerful shots that will force Behic to cover up as every one of them will hurt like hell, and then boys goodnight Irene!
Sorry but I cannot see Behic winning. Have a read of the latest International kckboxer mag and see what he did in Europe. Three knockouts all within the first two rounds!!

[JANER]

there is ONE huge weak spot with Jenk, he is just waiting for an uppercut!! Everytime he goes forward he bends down and his WHOLE FACE is open! an uppercut would finish him. Jenk does this evry single fight and Steve Douet nearly finished jenk off by using his uppercuts a few yrs back... If you watch the Mike Cope fight closely, Brice Birstwhistle(whatever the spelling) who was copes trainer was urging him to throw an upercut!

my thoughts up till now, Zambidis far too fit and has alot more power than jenk. Jenk throws like 9994332184791283749128 punches and he never seems to put anyone away... why is that? lack of power? you tell me.

[allanf]

What the? wats going on? ha? wat? August 12? are they fighting or something, can someone fill us in.

[paul c]

Well guys,

I had a call from Tarik Solak's art dept today.
They requested I find suitable pics of Jenk Behic and also Mike Zambidis. They wanted these ASAP, and the date of August 12 mentioned. But....unfortunately from my end I can't confirm anything, but Lamb Chops sounds like he knows what's going on.

On top of those pictures, I was asked for some suitable for a fight poster of none other than 'The Supreme Fighting Machine' and Arthur Tsakonas.

Whether these were going to go onto the same poster, I honestly don't know. It's possible that it may be for an altogether different show.

Actually, I was asked for Gurkan and Arthurs pictures first.

Man, this is going to be a mega show if all parties are there on the same event.


Regarding Behic Vs Zambidis:
As with Memek, my heart is with our local boy. Jenk is a friggin legend. I have seen him rocked many times, but never once finished in the four years that I've been following his carreer, and none of the opponents were easy.
If anyone in Aus is at all capable of keeping up with that Kid Dynamo from beautiful Greece, it's got to be Behic.
No way does he posses the power of Mike, but he does have the skill, fitness and most important of all heart, to take him to the final bell with a punch for punch and kick for kick exchange.

I will be speaking to Tarik's brother tomorrow regarding the images, and hopefully will be able to either tell you both fights are on, or that I've made a silly mistake.

My fingers are crossed that both are happening on the same show, but Tarik did publically mention he was planning several shows between the last one at Keilor and the end of the year.

DOES ANY ONE REMEMBER JENK HAS NEVER BEEN KNOCKED OUT
BARIS NEVER SEEN A TAPE ON MIKE B4 FIGHTING HIM KRON SEK LEK
DIDNT MAKE HIM LOOK TO FLASH MY MONEYS ON THE TURKAND ON GURKAN FIGHTING ARTHUR ON THE SAME CARD AUGUST 12 MELBOURNE TOWN HALL

jo

[John K]

Jenk hasn't looked too flash hot a whole heap of times himself. He is a great fighter, but he takes way too many shots in return, which is simply the worst flaw you can have against Zambides, he has to defend well or he'll be hurt quick and fast!

[Glenn]

True, Krongsek Lek only had a week to get ready for Zambidis under kickboxing rules, and Krongsek really isn't a great boxer, but gave Zambidis some trouble with those kicks. But remember Zambidis only had the same amount of time to get ready for Krongsek, someone with a completely different style to Jenk. Either way, Behic vs Zambidis will be a great fight.

[paul c]

Both the Ozkan Vs Tsakonas fight and the Behic Vs Zambidis fight are definitely on the August 12th show.

Confirmed today by Tayfun Solak.

[JANER]

your a legend Paul, all my mates were waiting for a confirmation!!

[tylerdurden]

I think Iron Mike will have too much power 4 Jenk, which will result in a KO or Jenk slowing over the rounds.

Has any body else noticed how Jenk seem always to be ill before a fight (Judgement day 1, Steve Douet, Mike Cope etc). They should address this before fighting iron Mike as we want him to be 100%.

[JANER]

I love jenk as a fighter! great skill. But I am sick of the excuses, michael schiavello was saying how jenk had to lose 3kgs over night... That is jenks fault! I take no sympathy for that.

Jenk has to be ready for the fight. No excuses, he has had 2yrs to do his homework on Zambidis. discipline!!

[paul c]

I don't know about the other times, but I can tell you that he was crazy for fighting on Judgement Day. He was so sick a couple of days prior to fighting that he didn't even have a voice.

[Leg_Slinger]

All my money is on Jenk. If Jenk keeps his cool and stays composed I Think Zambidis will be going home in a wheelchair. If they start brawling wild thats were zambidis has a chance because he has lethal close range left and right hooks. As for Aurthur and Gurkan I think Aurthur should stay home that night and pull a sickie and fake an injury because Gurkan is going to turn the lights out on him.


GO THE TURKS

[John K]

That was obviously an unbiased opinion! lol!
My picks:
Zambidis by KO - Just too strong, too complete for Jenk who will show a lot of heart as usual but will be outgunned.
Ozkan by decision - Arthur will have his moments, but Gurkan will swarm him and be aggressive enough to take the decision.

[tylerdurden]

I cannot predict a winner for Gurkan and Arthur, haven't seen enough of Arthur. But i hope we see a Gurkan of old, and Arthur to step up to the challenge so we see a WAR!!!

[Lucy Tui]

This would have to be the Turks Vs Greeks for sure....
awesome match up I will be there for that one......
may the best fighter win on the night I like all of them.......

[ThaiBoxer]

hi guys i'm really excited about the Zambidis vs Behic fight, but i just hope that it actually takes place this time cause like we know Behic was supposed to fight Zambidis, who pulled out due to his commitments in Italy.
My money is on Zambidis because i reckon that even though Behic is a great fighter he does have obvious weak points like lack of power, which will be the big questionmark against an explosive fighter like Iron Mike. Iron posseses extreme fitness, power, speed and he is an opportunist. One missed combo by Behic and its lights out!

[ThaiBoxer]

just to give my choice on the Gurkan vs Tsakonas fight, i dont think its gonna go for long because Gurkan will eat Tsakonas alive, once he pulls out his combos.

[delusion]

That is VERY! true ozkan will ko Arthur... but anything can happen u cant underestimate Arthur . Jenk Vs Zambidis ammm Jenk i think because he is a great fighter with all the right tools

[chico]

Does anyone know how many rounds they are fighting for and if any titles are up for grabes. I think this is what will be the diciding factor on the night in both fights.

[JANER]

I am certain that both fights are for the titles.

[Axekick157]

I have to agree with alot of the people here, Jenk is a great fight but no match for the speed and power of Zam, Zam has the best counter reflexes I have seen in the weight division and will overcome all the talk of Jenk's victory.

[sooty]

Jenk is a pure workhorse.. but with the obvious problem of fighting in spurts "and" when he does give us those entertaining combo's to the head and body.. it seems that his opponents are "not flat on their backs!

As stated before Jenk is value for money for sure "but" power may be a concerne here. lets be realistic here, I am not in favour if either fighter to win.. but when it come to the "Snap" & "Pop" of power..
Zam is a 5 star pedigree!

[Matt]

I really enjoy watching Zambidis fight and think his style and manner does a lot for the sport. However my loyalties lie with Jenk for this fight and I hope he can pull it of. Jenk best asset in my opinion is hiswork rate. Will he be able to keep a high workrate while using his reach to keep Mike outside? Once Mike bridges the gap (which he does very well and quickly) he unleashes lightning fast knockout punches that flow beautifully and finishes of with smooth kicks to avoid counter techniques while he settling himself for his next attack. This is gonna be a cracker of a fight and will definitly get to Melbourne for this one.

Gurkan vs Arthur will go off! I hope to see Gurkan explode in true old school style. I remember when he faught Jacobs he was half way across the ring before the bell had sounded. It is sad when a knock out fighter like Gurkan looses their auror of invincibility, yet he still has a lot to offer the sport and hope he pulls of a classic KO.

[Brett]

From memory, and it's been a while since I last saw the fight, I thought it was jacobs that met Gurkan in his own corner and landed the first shot of the fight, an inneffective leg kick, but certainly a great psychological start. Correct me if I am wrong.

Hi to all Kickboxing supporters. This is Jenk Behic, typing this message from QLD. I'm up here for 3 weeks, staying with Paul & Anthony Vella in preperation for my 12x2 min. rounds World title fight againts Zambidis. It's my 4th day here so far & I've taken the opportunity to log into the internet for the 1st time. I've been overwhelmed by all your messages, the bad, good, nonsupportive & supportive. They all have affected me in a unique way. It's true that Zambidis is alot more fit & powerful than me. There's no doubt that Zambidis is the best Kickboxer on the planet. My move to QLD was to train in a warmer climate. I have a very weak spot towards the cold, it's never done me any good. So far QLD has had an enormous affect with my training, the weather is perfect & the people are great. We are focusing on my fitness & STRENGTH. I understand that I'll have to be at my best, reach my peak to beat Zambidis. No excuses, I PROMISE! While I stay in QLD I will be getting on net and will be more than happy to answer all posts !!!!

[ThaiBoxer]

Hi guys, i really think that zambidis is goin to win.
Jenk, you're an awesome fighter and i really respect what you've done for this sport and especially after your fight against Cope, you impressed the hell out of me. It's going to be a war, but i'm sorry i have to go with Zambidis, first of all because he is my friend and second because he is a dynamite. Too explosive and lightning combos. I just hope to see a great fight and Jenk i wish you good luck and a good performance.
My prediction: Zambidis by KO
Gurkan's fight is not a title match. Tsakonas is a really young and strong boy, but no match for Ozkan, yet! Gurkan's fists are like hammers and i dont think Arthur can keep up with the explosive Ozkan.
My prediction: Gurkan Ozkan by KO

[delusion]

jenk i reckon you do have a huge chance to win zambidis his human everyone thinks his a machine your the best TURKIYE!!!

[paul c]

Absolutely agree,
Jenk has a huge chance.
Think about it, Zambidis will have to knock Jenk out to be sure of a win. I don't have to tell you guys that Behic can pretty much match everyone I can think of for work-rate. So, if he covers up well when Mike starts throwing those extremelly effective head and body combos, and comes back with his own.....definitely has a chance.

[JANER]

Well, what do I think... If Jenks fitness is perfect, he will beat Zambidis. However, I have rarely seen jenk as super fit as Zambidis. As zam the man, is a superb athlete! He can last 12rounds without a working up a sweat! Jenk throws hell of alot of punches, but they dont seem to do anything!??

Two factors to consider if Jenk is going to have to improve on, to have any chance is:

(1) his Fitness!!!!!

(2) and Power


I am a huge fan of Baris and Jenk, so I hope Jenk takes his revenge! (do you guys agree on both factors?) My conclusion is that, Zambidis is too strong... BUT PLEASE JENK! YOU HAVE TO WIN!!! my heart is with Jenk!!!

[krama]

Gents - I have watched Jenk come up through the ranks over the years, and have followed Zambidis closely over the last two years.
A number of critical points need to be considered. First let me say that I have enormous respect for both fighters. I'm not turkish or Greek so I don't lean either way because of origin.

Behic - he seems fit, but has never gone 12 rounds flat out with any one remotely close to Zambidis speed AND power.He ran out of steam early against Cope and nearly got KO'd!
He does not cover up very well - not as good as Baris anyway and Baris still got smashed. Problem is he attempts to thow too many punches too quickly instead of picking his shots and firing them with huge power and tecnique which is what Zam does.
Baris simply has not Ko'd any decent fighter - he has come close but never convincingly.

ZAm - has demolished many experienced and respected fighters through KO - look at his last exploit in Italy! - if you watch the Cope v Zam fight - Cope was lucky the knee stopped Mike as Cope was in trouble - we would not have lasted very long.
Zam is a very smart fighter - he will utilise the fisrt 2 rounds to see what the other fighters weaknesses are and then simply rip into them. Behic simply does not have the power to affect Zam - and if he does get some hard shots through I guarantee you Zam will simply explode and keep attacking and punching and smashing until Behic goes down. And remember he will go 100% non stop for 12 rounds!! Behic struggles to finish 6!
Gents - I'm leaning towards Zam - his power, technique, experience, fitness is a step or two higher than Behic. I just want to see a good fight and if Behic wins then great! The rematch will be woth seeing.

[Spartan boy]

iwould like to clear something with u weird ass ppls that behic doesn't have a chance againt zambidis:)

Hi guys, Lammb chop how are ya mate, loved your post.
Neways ive been sittin here reading these forums, and some say that jenk wil win and some say he won't, i recall reading a message stating that there are too many excuses prior too, or after one of jenk's fights. I was talkin to jenk a couple of days before his fight against cope and clearly remeber that he wasn't at his peak only because he was sick. It is known that when the human body is at a high fitness level, their immune system drops dramatically leaving them wide open for any form of virus or illness. I personally think that if jenk had of been fighting fit against cope, he would of wiped the canvas with him. in regards to jenk vs zambidis, its goin to be one hell of a fight, "world war 3", i reckon zambidis will have over jenk fitness wise, but jenk no doubt has got the goods to beat zambidis and will come through on August 12!!!

[delusion]

go Jenk Hopefully its your lucky day k.o hiM!!!
