~Jordan Watson

Lets fucking see this fight. Watson/Buakaw II has been rumoured, but they matched up pretty evenly - I'd rather see him fight the technical counter-striking Giorgio on whom he'd push the pace, clinch up and force onto the backfoot.

Email, twitter or facebook It's Showtime if you want this fight. I do

Not Amrani, not Khamal, THIS is the #1 rising star under the age of 23 in the sport

There are a few Thai rules fights of his online. He's basically a kickboxer though, full time these days.

In a Muay Thai match, my money is on Jordan

I dont see any reason for Petro to go fight THIS guy under HIS rules,I'm sure
that even Watson know that wont be happening anytime soon,his just
calling out the best kickboxer in the world to get some attention

I don't see the need for Petro to fight someone no one has ever heard of.

OK, TT should hype Mosab Amrani instead then who Jordan beat Neutral

Btw, someone offered BadCompany the Petrosyan fight a while back, but Jordan was facing Yodsanklai Fairtex in the Kings Cup Neutral

his just

Actually I'm doing it on his behalf. We were in a bar last night, talking about fighters we like, guys Jordan has fought (Amrani, Buakaw, Fairtex etc) and we talked Petrosyan. I said "why dont I start a campaign for that fight", he said "go for it". So I quoted him with permission Smile

You're right - no one knows the ISKA world champion at 70kg, and Contender Asia winner, who just defended his belt against the top ranked German at that weight, who has competed in Thailand and Japan, fought such no-names as Yodsanklai Fairtex, Buakaw Por.Pramuk, Toshiya Nakagawa, Cedric Mueller, Craig Jose, outclassed Mosab Amrani, is #1 ranked in the UK, and ranked internationally.

You. Know. Nothing

Irrelevant. He hasn't beaten any top guys. bounce

K-1 or bust. Muay Thai is inferior.

Bold statement from Mr. Watson.

I know you are trolling, but Buakaw is one of the GOATS in MAX, and far from it in Muay Thai.

This is coming from someone who prefers K-1 rules.

by **Fletch** Mon May 09, 2011 8:13 am

Haha, Dono had me going there for a minute. Sly cunt

Here is some of Jordan's work anyways (cant find the Amrani fight sadly)

vs Buakaw

full fight with Buakaw - coulda gone either way imo

vs a p4p Thai, Yodsanklai Fairtex

No chance you could be a fan of his, then Neutral

I actually... you know, WATCH fights. Like the handful Jordan has already had with elite p4p talent hehehe

I honestly don't know how someone can prefer K-1 rules over Full Thai rules. Elbows ftmfw.

The clinch can get stale when guys just wanna turn it into some sort of Randy Couture version of kickboxing. It all depends on the guys involved though. Kick catching and takedowns get a little irritating too.

And I prefer K-1 because it doesn't have that god awful snake charming music going steady in the background. Another thing is that the first two rounds of a thai fight basically don't count because of betting and all that stuff. It's a weird system. They start slow so no one gets finished in the betting rounds.

Thing is though, Giorgio has done full thai rules, and only lost one, to a Por Pramuk, by decision in a league called P. Pramuk fights lol. I can't find the video of it, but... I mean it raises some questions to say the least. He did just fine against Buakaw under full thai rules.

by **StillWill** Mon May 09, 2011 2:06 pm

I dont like thai rules because guys do nothing for the first two rounds, and they all play it safe because they fight so much. Also I dont like how hands are barely scored. K-1 rules are more exciting imo

Shiavello said at K-1 why they start so slow. I remember it had something to do with gambling... Like in Ong Bak, when they're all calling for bets at the beginning of fights. It's something along those lines. They bet on the first two rounds, then they start fighting in the 3rd to 5th.

by **StillWill** Mon May 09, 2011 2:31 pm

That is where it originates from but it is still ordinary to have a feel out round or two even when not in thailand with the bookmakers

Have you seen any of the EVOLUTION fight cards from OZ? Great shows with full Thai rules.

by **StillWill** Mon May 09, 2011 2:42 pm

There is tons of exciting muay thai dont get me wrong! Im just saying I think the k-1 rules make it a bit more exciting on average

by **Fletch** Mon May 09, 2011 2:47 pm

3x3 is by nature inferior

My mate who trains out of Jordan's gym dominated 2.5 rounds of his fight at the last card, gassed midway through the third with his Bob Sapp level cardio, and lost on points.

K-1 rules he'd have taken an easy 29-28, maybe even a 30-27. But in full Thai rules, you get 15 minutes of violence and there's nowhere to hide for those with Bob Sapp's lungs

Conditioned fighters can still fight hard for 5 rounds. I saw great fights yesterday, and guys were still going hard in the 5th. Top level boxers go 12, top level thai boxers should do 5 if they're elite imo.

by **StillWill** Mon May 09, 2011 2:48 pm

I agree Fletch, 3x3 is good for tournament format but I always thought non tournament fights should be 5 x 3.. they did do 5 rounders on occasion
