Evo 6 vs No Respect 3

[Voice]

OK crew...

The 2 biggest shows of 2005.
3000-4000 at Evo 5, 6000 to NR3.

Muay Thai vs Kickboxing aside, both have been on Fox, everyone saw both, which show was better?
Think along the lines of;
. matchups
. excitement
. tension
. fighter skill and courage
. satisfaction for the audience

I vote for Evo 6.

[humble]

definitely and without a doubt evo 6!!!! its just more fun to watch a little bit more of a fight with the added weapons of muay thai and without the controversial rules. its either modified thai or full thai, simple. no "modified + this but minus that and then divide by this" rules.

Plus match ups more even generally although both had some mismatches.

maybe im a little more biased because i love muay thai more.

its just hard to not cock back and throw a knee or elbow when positions permit you to.

dont worry queensland nsw is hot on your trails.

Dont mistake my harshness for strength and neither mistake my kindness for weakness.

[dutts72]

Both were awesome shows but for my money Ev6, being biased as well as a MT lover but a big factor outside this was the big names!

JWP
Arslan
Preacher
Wazza
TS2
Soren

The match ups between
JWP V Preacher
Arslan V Wazza
Ts2 V Swede

These were all main event material and two of them very close and exciting fights not to mention the skill level.

In these names you have several A Class standard fighters, some verging and some on the way.

No respect yes was a great show yes but Evo get the Nod<img src=icon_smile_approve.gif border=0 align=middle>

Personally I vote NR3.

Because I knew the excellent quality of the fighters on on Evo, and the show completely delievered. But for No Respect III, i didn't come in expecting anything.

Great parts -
That tough Iranian who normally fights Springvale Townhall was brilliant, the brutal kicks of Ronnie Ajar (sp?). An impressive look into the future with Tramsek. Great to see a powerful zamibides go the distance.

But all in all, both were great promotions. And the future is looking great.

evo6 eeeeeasily

[Big D]

i'd have to go with Evo,
There is just something about those shows that fox manage to catch and put through the box.

Big D in training, will be back in da house one day......

Evo 6 those elbows were crazii<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

[shaunw]

no contest---- EVO 6!!!!!!!!!! muay thai all the way

Max Power, he's the man who's name you'd love to touch. But you mustn't touch! His name sounds good in your ear, but when you say it you mustn't fear! Cause his name can be said by anyone

[Lucy Tui]

Totally two different styles, enjoyed both they all had class...
Tarik presentation was excellent, I saw that Josh & Nuggets presentation was excellent to. The fights were both great considering they both were of different styles of fights..
I love Muay Thai & Kickboxing....

The one thing I will say about elbows they leave nasty scars..unfortunetly...<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>:)

[Imsta]

Evo all the way.

[Voice]

good post Lucy...
Now here is the REALLY ironic thing.

Imagine in a room full of 6000 Greeks and Turks if elbows were allowed.

Imagine seeing the sort of cuts and blood that were on Evo 6. I'd say if the 6000 liked the kickboxing at NR3 imagine greeks, turks, cros etc cutting each other up with elbows.

This might be an angle for Tarik.
modified A1 rules, with elbows but no knees.

What you say about that Johnny, Zambo Rambo, allanf etc???

Hi Voice,

An interesting point you brought up. A-1 should bring this rule in, since there is no grappling involves and the fights are still allow to flow like kickboxing. Elbows is the way to go!

Speaking of crowds, next year will be interesting in Victoria since most of the gym have decided to joint with the WMC, I can see the changes in crowds. I would have to say with out the Greek and Turks fans, we can still pull easily 1000 to 2000+ crowds per show.

[admin]

Imsta... you honestly think a non-Zambidis card in Melbourne can draw 2000+ ?

I doubt it.

Shiv,

Don't forget Im has the Cambodian community down there, bring a few of the Khmer fighters over and who knows..

And c'mon Mike, talk up the Thai scene in Melbourne, it's only to improve the sport..

I don't drink beer... but hey, let's put a shot of Tequila on it :)

I don't think Melbourne could do 2000+ without Zambidis -- yet. We're in a rebuilding stage.

But hey, I hope I eat my words and shout you a Tequila on that!

Thai Vs Khmer and some other local talents, I am sure we can pull a big crowd. My last show I stuffed up the tickets and I heard many of the fans went home because they were waiting too long to get in. I am confident we can get it right next time. Like I said, there are 25000+ Cambodian in the Springvale area. If we get 10% from them I am sure we will get 2000+.

No grappling but.

In all honesty I'd rather see a guy get ko'd with a clean shot rather than the fight being stopped after an elbow.

But if the elbows where free flowing and without grappling, why not?

And I still think Mike can pull a bigger crowd than 6! The most biggest ticket seller in Australia and Europe. 14k on hand to watch Mike in athens, thats time and a half of what we have here.

Greeks dont fight like heroes, heroes fight like Greeks!

[Matt J]

"And I still think Mike can pull a bigger crowd than 6!"

No.

"The most biggest ticket seller in Australia and Europe."

Settle down there big fella. Greece doesnt represent all of europe.
you know that i like mike and defend him plenty against that bogan who posts on here, but chill a little bro. be something more productive than a yes man. dont be another allanf, the world can only handle one at a time otherwise chuck norris will have to be called in to take care of things.

Hmmmm ZR, I think a lot of the EVO supporters appreciate the "No Respect" (KB) fighters but somehow IMHO the KB supporters have " NO Respect" the Muay Thai fighters..

EVO 6 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quality from start to finish

cheers Spada

[promoboss]

I will definitely be flying down to Melbourne to see the wmc shows when they start up in 2006.<img src=icon_smile_cool.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_cool.gif border=0 align=middle>
A zambo free show might be something different for all the punters to and see and broaden their horizons of the sport.

It's Better to Burn Out than to Fade Away

[atlas06]

Ive only just returned to the sport after a 5 or 6 year absence!Oh and guess what i went to no respect and evo 6 and whats changed in 6 years?
Qld is still moving forward with Thai and Melb which is closer for me to travel too, im in Tassie ,is still Kickboxing except with a few token flying kness thrown from the outside! No fighter disrespect intended Zambidies is a great fighter but Melbourne is caught in a time warp that doesnt include knees! Rebuilding faze? says another post when was their ever knee fights their?

OG

[Matt J]

and how exactly will knees alone save victorian kickboxing? i mean, is that your solution?
i'd suggest oh i don't know, maybe the complete lack of marketable and world class fighters in victoria at the moment? it it wasn't for the annual zambidis fight would there even be a major show in melbourne? its not healthy when an import is the only thing keeping the sport in the bigger arenas instead of the suburban town halls.
the people will turn up if someone inspires them enough to, it dont mean sh!t if the entire card is fought with knees or not. it only matters to elitists who look down on anything that doesnt include knees.
