To the boy who went through things no boy should, to the teenager who had so much hate for himself, to the man who nearly didnt make it through the night
We are a champion
To every man. No one will come and save you. We are the only ones who can pull ourselves out the gutter
I normally hate padwork to fight comparison videos
But when you whip this out in the first round as a massive underdog to knockout the undefeated uk rank 1 kickboxer for his belt
It needs sharing. 15 mins apart 🔥
Everytime a begginer throws a calf kick at me i stop and say that check would have fucked your shin. Throw a proper low kick or if your a calf kicker, set it up properly. Any decent thaiboxer will check them too hard.
This is why i fully stop. Fuck that

Mma fans: "Colby is in Leon's head. Hes too emotional and he will make a big mistake in this fight"
Mma fans when Leon fights a smart non emotional fight and takes the win:
You can tell Rogan’s salty Leon won 🤣
DC: He’s the best.
Rogan: He’s the best…UNTIL he fights Shavkat. Or until he fights Belal. Belal…uh…Belal…had very good success before the eyepoke…
What?!
Look at his face 😭

🤮 🤮
Mental this is how people actually see muay thai. Clueless and heartbreaking
Some of the best footwork, movement, defence comes from muay thai. The defence in muay thai is what makes it so elite. Landing real clean shots takes time to set up.
Hour sparring
Hour clinching
One nonstop 25 min pad round
100 kicks each side
100 low kicks on the bag
100 jab low kicks on the bag
500 knees on the bag
This is how we train. But instagram pts will tell you a squat variation is how you hit like fighters. Fuck that
Thais are so funny. Ive stayed in gym dorms with thais theyll fuck you up for 4 hours in the gym then youll get back to your room and theyll go to sleep under their hello kitty blanket
in 3 years of thaisparring ive had 1 nosebleed, never had a major headache or concussion, never left sparring with any more than slight knocks.
I will be a pro. I am game as fuck when i fight.
I get my hard rounds where needed. But never ever is there this intent.
LONGEVITY
Hes fuckin done it again
5th round tko. My 4th tko in a row.
The shinpads will now come off, and I'll step up to proam/semi pro muay thai.
I cant wait to let my best weapons with elbows loose. Real muay thai only from here on out.
Fight done. My coach just broke the news he is the son of the gym owner. Hes been doing it his whole life, had thai tattoos, and probs endless more experience than me in the junior circuit.
I stopped him 4 rounds.
They will all know my name.
A year ago today i tried taking my life. I was truly ready to die and i believed that night i wouldnt wake up. Im not quite ready to share my story, im not who i want to be yet. But i am working at it everyday.
Friends, family, my coach and my team. I hope i make you proud
@izzydoa_
Ive seen calf kicks used in thaiboxing of course. Everything has its place. But theyre setup and with a purpose.
I meet far too many people who just spam cheap calf kicks in sparring thinking theyre being active. But dont realise the consequences of checks without the shinpads
One from the uk muay thai scene today
European Title fight for this Saturday. One of the fighters has just fucked off to Thailand no warning, no pullout.
Promoters posted upset about it, to which the fighter has responded with a court case threat. Promoter gives 0 fucks 🤣
@itstomathan
@sweetlikejoney
Have a day off men are allowed to be angry and upset about things 😭 he doesnt come across as aggressive at all.
If youre sensitive to that stuff, fair, but then you wouldnt do a similar prank would you? Shes clearly comfy enough to feel safe and do it so maybe mind ya own.
2 years ago today i had my very first interclub. This was my first ring experience, and I was absolutely shitting myself 🤣
2 years on, i have had a few more interclubs, 10 fights, and 2 English Title wins.
Im no coach or expert, but i do remember being day 1 and i know the
Short highlight clip of my opponent uploaded by his coach (music choice not mine obvs 🤣)
Happy to share this. I try share my genuine thoughts on here as a fighter. All used to fighters bigging themselves up to the stars but am just myself.
Truthfully i am utterly heartbroken.
Win by decision
I know that wasnt me. Been under a lot of stress and hurt.
Lifes relentless and its been beating me down since feb. Everyday gets harder and there are days i cant get out of bed. I dont think that'll go away soon.
But ill keep turning up. Onto the next
National muay thai day
The most beautiful sport in the world. Packed with culture and history
Never forget why this sport is the way it is, and who needs it the most. Be grateful for the choice that many do not have. For many, it is the only path to a better life.
Amount of people defending the colby thing really shows the negatives of a sport where the majority of fans dont partake in it or even have a clue
Notice how in bjj or thaiboxing basically everyone whos a fan also does it. Drastically reduces the amount of cunts involved
I know how much mma twitter loves bag work
One of my pet peeves with bagwork is every caption being "this is my 1000th round after running 20 miles so excuse the sloppy technique"
Anyway here's me at the bottom of my cut ready for weigh ins tomorrow. Excuse the technique
Round 3 tko, broke his nose x
Not happy with my performance. Sloppy and scrappy, ignored my corner and just kinda winged it
Taken a fight 7 days notice on dec 2nd against my toughest opponent yet. Hes finished his last 2 opps with knees (like me)
Go time, again.
Ladies and gents, its arch fight day😍
Had a fair few of you follow me from before first training session. I never claim to be a worldbeater just a lad in his own little obsessive bubble. Thank you for all the support and good luck messages 👊
Fighting around 8pm uk time (in
Love Liams passion for the sport. His own fight week cutting weight and still breaking down details of the sport for others
Top level fight careers one thing but think its even more exemplary when these guys carry that on and invest back into their own scene 👌 UK got some gems
Wish i could relive last night. The buildup. The noise. The win. Seeing my closest friends. My family. My teammates winning wars. Dancing to 6am. The high of victory.
Absolutely hooked. Nothing comes close. Get me back in that ring asap. Looking for a matchup march10th 🤞 🤞
Post from my coach🥹
Where there is recognition, there is hate. And while i dont care too much about the opinions of most. I do care about my opinion of myself.
Just want fights and if them fights bring opportunity so be it. Levels are levels and these things dont change that.
I fucking love knees. No better feeling than when you can literally feel them breaking in your arms. Their grip gets weaker, their weight drops, their breathings starts to struggle.
Clinch and knees are the equaliser 😍
Little timeline sparring cleanse to get rid of that shit we are all seeing 😏
Not shots on someone below my level. Not trying to be above my partners level. Just enjoying the exchanges and learning as we go.
Proper
