[joncav]

1st) Sam Greco.
We never really got to see him fight at his peak in Australia.
The crowning final was a brawl! Carl Bernardo??? Well what can I say.
That Topuz guy! Same again.

2nd) Louie Iosifidis
This guy was entertaining! Left the sport too soon!

3rd) Tony Hill
In my opinion 1st Aussie to really take it to the Thai's.

and lastly

Abud Sayeh! I beleive this guy learnt his Kickboxing skills from watching the Jerry Springer show!

:) Still kicking strong at 42!

[joncav]

Oops. sorry Mike,
Guess my post wasn't really a one-line explanation!
Must be old age catching up with me.

For comic releif, let's consider my contribution about Abud Sayeh!

[da GhOsT]

a) Tibet Hamza
b) The most technical fighter ever to come out of the jemal hasan stable and he was a true gentleman of the sport.

[HHH]

a) The Hammer

b) I reckon that it would be good to see Mark up against todays talent. It would be a ripper! :)

[harls]

a. Anthony Vella
b. Be good to see him take on current MT stylists.

[harls]

[supermario]

A.)Louie "Ice" Iosifidis
B.)He had the potential to become as great as Steve Vick and Ian Jacobs. He retired too soon, and I think he will remain Aussie kickboxing's biggest enigma because of it, but he was great nonetheless.

thnx al.

::Marcus Mangan V Sanapar Noi
What you say is TRUE,
Although that fight was the only plain kickboxing rules fights that Sanapar ever fought with no knees and no elbows.
Would've been a different ending to the story if it hadn't just been kick-punch-kick-punch

[don c]

A- Nugget

B- loved watching those knees go to work

and also

A- Tony Hill

B- the man was made of iron.saw him take a headkick from a thai at jupiters that echoed through the hall but it didnt look like it fazed him!

[Adambjjoz]

Kurt Finlayson

-

Because he was the WMC #1 contender for the world title for about two years & only lost both world title fights via narrow point decisions. Also, David Copperfield couldn't have pulled a more impressive vanishing act that Kurt did, last year.

[alchrist]

P/MONEY, True it was only kickboxing but this is the same Marcus Mangan who, around the same time went 5 rnds ftr with Sangtien- [although
it did resemble a kickbox fite but still.] and also came to QLD and dare i say "bashed" a very in form Tony Hill inside 3rnds. jmo. Indeed Sanapar was a gr8 fighter but...so were these 2. jmo. :)


thnx al.

[Sork]

a.) Sam Greco
b.) displayed raw power,savage attitude and always went forward.Very entertaining to watch!

[Aaden]

Kurt Finlayson

[SPADA]

Al .....

you couldn't have put it better.I went along to that show at the RNA expecting Hill to take it out.What transpired was an awesome display
of technigue and suprising power from a lanky Mangan.I think he broke Tony's ribs early in the fight.Not long after that I think Olsen from W.A ended Hill's career.

Mangan for me was the best " thai stylist " to come out of N.S.W
and a special mention to Dale Middleton, he gave Sanpar Noi & Nugget
some great battles.

cheers Spada

[alchrist]

Here-Here, SPADA, I to was at that show and hardly 1 person [at least our table anyway] gave "maddog" a chance. You got a copy of this show ?? think it was a Jim Cass promo.


thnx al.

[carl_lee]

a)IAN JACOBS

b)HIGHEST CALIBRE ATHLETE!!! RETIRED WAY TO EARLY!!! COULD HAVE BEEN AN INTERNATIONAL LEDGEND!!!

[Viper]

Rex Redden
Only saw him fight a couple of times but he was awesome
Tibor Vermes
Unreal power, could have been world champ
Cheers Sharon

[DazMon]

[Kuri Kinton]

A) Greco
B) His final fight in K-1 should not have to be the one where he fought after just having his knee reconstructed.

Ian Jacobs, Paul Briggs, Ben Holley
All were great for the sport and great to watch fight.

Brett"the darkside" Dalton


never got to watch him fight in person(unfourtunatly)but from what i have been told and what i have read and from sparring and the stories he has told me about some off his wars and kings cup would love to see him fight . Also voted in the toughest 20 thai boxers in the last 20 years in aurtralia

[SPADA]

Al .....

No, I don't have a copy of that show,and yes it was a Jim Cass promo.

Mitch O'Hello fought Dana Goodson's Paul Robinson in the main event.
Chris Allen was postered to fight Tony Hill in the semi main event.
Allen pulled out of the fight and Mangan ( gave away a few kilos )
proceeded to take apart Tony.

Tony Hill could take some punishment,as proved in his battles against all those thais.

cheers Spada

[Dowgy]

Who: Darren Hedgecock
Why: left us too early

[DazMon]

Actually I agree with you Dowgy, he would have brought Melbourne Muay Thai forward a few years. I started a thread about him a few years ago which I almost regretted.
