[bucktouiyoutuization]

Mishisato if someone stole your land, you ask for your land back. The guy tell you " don't worry about the past, it is mine now; just forget everything and learn to live the fact that I have it now" Can you accept this? I don't think so. Thai stolen a lot of land from neighboring countries, Malay, Lao, Kampuchia, during Ror (rajkarn) 4. If you didn't believe me go to Chiang May, Korath, Pattayany, Surin listen to them talk their language. The problem is you can accept the fact or not. Peace.

[emadnasr1]

Kun Khmer we have the greatest kick boxer in the world No matter what other say history and fact have show. Howerver we still dnt get respect and appreciation! Khmer pride we the true gold we dnt afriad of fire.

[MrBongtom]

[skaterockerloc]

damn eh phuthong is taking a beating from those african legs

[HugeDeek]

I wanna hire Eh Puthong and that black guy to be my security guard.

[garykyl]

black long legs. they'll become fiercing weapon after training.

[fightcol]

nice

[socheathuon]

Yo this is one hell of a kickboxin match! Fuckin awesome! It's like a video game w/a khmer kickboxer haha. ;) Good shit.

[MegaDucs]

Damn, that atmosphere was quite something...

[moninnYem]

Yo i just gotta say im sick and tired of my fellow SEA's arguing about the past. I respect my thai and loas bros and there art as i hope they respect khmer boxing. Hopefully all three can unite and organize in one league.

Now that is maybe wishful thinking.

[briky7126]

@moninnYem i want that to happen also...but for that to happen the thai have to stop claiming that there "muay thai" there culture is theres, let them say that there traditions,culture fighting style came from cambodia, and with this topic especailly with muay thai, the siamese or "thai" captured angkor warriors during the fall of angkor n adopted khmers fighting style because those warriors taught them muay boran didnt even exist back then but guess what kun khmer did,FUCK MUAY THAI" n thai's

[moninnYem]

@briky7126 no offense youngblood but i think u and alotta cambo's think about the past waaay to much. Our glory days are long gone, frankly i dont care about who was 1st, im at least greatful the thai's made it popular.

[briky7126]

@moninnYem im not about to argue with my own khmer peers so ill let that comment slide.

[moninnYem]

@briky7126 wow did u just say u'll let, my comment slide? I wonder what would happen if u didnt? btw how is disagreeing arguing? Thats another problem that i know about some of my cambo peers. There prone to violence especially when they think they know better and especially with there own kind. History has shown this.

Merry xmas and happy new years and most importantly peace.

[briky7126]

@moninnYem who said anything about violence?? LOL umm btw do u have relatives in cambodia?? are you a proud khmer?? if so u should appriciate the violence that we bring to our enemies...stand up for whats rightfully ours, history HAS shown that we turned on our own, BUT the key word there is HISTORY, this is now, im happy that cambodia is prepared to retaliate, u heard of land grabbing?? well the thai's the viets are trying to do so, but cambodia is fighting very hard to prevent that

[briky7126]

@moninnYem i dont know about you but im not goiing to be happy to hear that my relo's got kicked out of there own farm, so my point is you should learn to appreciate that cambodians are stepping up, if it was for those typical khmers eg. ( ehh "dont worry about it things are going to be alright") believe me theres heaps of them, cambodia would be wiped of the map.

happy new year dude, and i agree peace.

[teedamonee]

im totally with mishisato the reason that southeast asian countries have not progressed as much as we could is because instead of embracing and supporting each other, we hold grudges, we continue to fight about the past when we're all southeast asian, with similar traditions and cultures and as much as our countries continue to quarrel, something to remember is that in comparison to first world countries. Let's stand together folks.

[julianobarrera]

conosco well to Thais and Cambodians, in Cambodia is practiced is stronger the more devastating Prodal, and are more wedded has more heart, because you believe that Thailand did not participate in the war in vietnam? by fearful, unless they all participated Indochinese "Thailand" in the war paricipo, laos, cambodia, vietnam, biermania, these are the former Indochinese countries, that U.S. lost, I kill the forest, to invade a small country but very warrior demonstrated

[nhekborin]

since that time e pothorng is not 28, he is about 38, and this show is just the entertainment not a real fighting. Black guy is the winner if he want.

[sonohkong]

@nhekborin your fucking stupid.. that's not just for enterainment, its the real thing u dumbass.

[kaonieoh]

Don't hate Thailand because they are the ones that placed this art on the international stage.. As of right now, Thailand is #1 in this art, followed by Holland.. don't hate Thailand, hate your government, hate Pom Pot, hate the fighters for being good enough to make an international name for Cambodia.. That being said, muay thai did originate from Cambodia. Thailand is aware of this, but Thailand did something with it. Win and win often.

[crane76]

This Faisal has a lot of fancy kicks but they don't work very well in the ring. When he fought in the first Muay Thai vs Sanda challenge in China, he was thrown all over the ring by his Chinese opponent.

[CartmanLandZ]

khmer kickboxing is made for killing

muaj thai came from khmer. only muaj thai is for entertainment. So actually combodia invented the basic for mua thai

[tawanwalking]

Thai, Burmese, Laotian, Cambodian, they have their own styles and each country we called different names too. maybe it was from cambodia. but it's long time ago and we developed to our style so we called Muay Thai alright? and each parts of Thailand their have own style of muay Thai too..we were from yunnan not means we stole your land. It was 1000 years ago maybe we should thanks to Dinosaurs!! so if you have too much problem about history I hope you alway enjoy about it.

[samrhim]

muay thai is from cambodia 100%

[Jamzkangster]

I hate the Thai peoples way of thinking. (doesn't mean I hate thai people though, I love all people.)

All I'm saying is, even I know muay thai came from Cambodia not THAILAND (and I'm KOREAN/Japanese). MUAY THAI scripts have been scribed in ANCIENT Cambodian temples, so how the hell can thaliand claim they created muaythai?

also, Cambodia has bokator and Thailand try copying them with some bogus spin off martial arts called mutai or w.e it's called.

[IHyRaXI]

ok im glad to see you know the truth man. im half cambodian and i respect all people to. but many thais copied many things from khmer but dont admit it. even have khmer numerals on thai money. they thai people originate from yunnan province china and came down and stole land from the khmer people as well as Mon people

[VendettaNgPilipinas]

what you say is true muay thai is from cambodia originated in the 9 th century.there is no proof that muay thai is originated in thailand.muay thai was enforced in the 13 th century and many thai masters agree to this fact that this art is from cambodia and was stolen by the thais.

[IshDat1KiD]

Its like the Israeli and Palestinians

We won't shut the fuck up.

[yoshikirby]

Out of all the foreigners i've seen fight in Khmer and Thai boxing Africans almost seem to put up a better fight, especially when compared to European and Japanese fighters.

[bcgabriot]

soooo much more exciting than ufc

[nandarokun]

I got to meet Eh Phuthong in 2005. A really cool guy. I saw him fight again last year when he beat the Australian in Phnom Penh. I think he has retired. He has definitely put on a little weight, but one of the great champions.

[frosty51396]

great fight

[Mearyeaurng]

Actually, Thai will call anything as theirs. All the new species that are being found in Cambodia and because of Thai researchers found it, they named it as Thai this and Thai that. What a crock!

[NikiMakoto]

It's the international law of Biologist that the first who discovered the new specie could name it by their favorite name. Pls study more.

[VSeun]

no, its called kbach kun khmer.

[BoxerMonkey]

i find this more entertaining than UFC

[reignman562]

The Black Guy Might Be 6"2, But He's 6'5 With The Fro.lol

[dannylooooo]

man this is a gr8 fight

if that black dude beat Eh Phuthong i wouldn't blame Eh cause the guy that he vs is so tall and powerful

Go  AZNS

[BuddhaOn3Lov3]

as much as i love Eh Phuthong fightin but at time the dude cant not fight when hes goin at it with non-khmers

[ptuon714]

Who's a good khmer fighting past and present?

[nosorog91]

who won?

[babysneiha]

What a funny fight !!! ahahah

[samenglish2008]

that was rubbish. No punches no kicks just stupid knees to the side of the ribs and a lot of cuddles. Maybe this is a sport, but it's NOT a fight.

[Jasonstarwalker]

Muay thai knee kicks generate the highest amount of force possible.

[Jasonstarwalker]

Why don't you face one of these fighters and experience the kicks. You shall change your mind.

[samenglish2008]

I don't believe that is correct. If there is so much force being directed at the relatively sensitive rib cage, then why isn't anyone feeling enough pain. Don't tell me they have so much muscle protecting them! From a physics perspective, the larger velocity of a kick to the head will definitely exert a larger force. I have no reason to change my mind. Maybe you should face these fighters and teach them some applied physics. Personally I prefer to watch and criticize.

[Jasonstarwalker]

I can't say about that. But on a National Geographic documentary the force generated on the head of a dummy by a muay thai champion was more then that generated by all other kicks.

[samenglish2008]

Aha.. exactly.. a kick to the head is good, a knee to the rib cage is nothing by comparison. My original remark was making fun of these long legged "fighters" who seem unable to kick at their opponents head and spend too much time hugging and kneeing each other in vain. Not effective fighting and not fun to watch. Agreed?

[Jasonstarwalker]

If this going to remain a discussion on the theory of fighting, I guess one can agree to anything. However, before actually having fought or experienced this technique of fighting it is futile to say that this form of fighting is ineffective.

[chiconspiricy]

If you knew anything about it, you'd see that their defensive knowledge is nullifying the knees. You pull or push or twist your opponent at the right time as he throws a knee, and you can take a lot of the power from it. If they fought some kickboxer who just knew how to punch and kick, they'd set up a good knee and end him.

[samenglish2008]

i don't know anything about it... other than it's boring to watch.

[ReyesZeul]

Martial Arts it all has its Beautiful grace but these guys look like their on steroids but their not. So I know that they know Cambodian Kickboxing to its fullest but theres always goin to be war and compitition between other races and groups maybe martial arts was created by masters to settle peace because If were going to prepare for Peace we have to prepare for war

[sagmann20]

ur being to philisophical, and that was a bad cliche, lol. violence is a natural instinct for all creatures. The evolution of martial arts is just part of the science of violence

[Mishisato]

i'm thai

and i think should we stop bluffing each other ?

we should help each other and be more friendly

there's no cooperation in ASEAN because we still fight each other in everything especially the HISTORY and CULTURE

stop stop stop and let's move forward the past is the past

attually we should set up the ASEAN SELF DEFENCE FORCE for longgggggggggggggg time

but we still fight each other

THAT's STUPID!

[khmerbraveheart]

i agree.. but still shut up, who cares what you say...... j.k hahahahahaaha.. yeah man, thats good to here your opinion..

[saliko89]

Yeah.. i agree..!!

[AngKoRiaN1]

the past is past. were not like u. we love boran its from or Kings and Country and Ancestors we can never forget it. We keep it in our heart. past is the past dont worry thais we dont care u can copy our martial arts, our history but you will never be good as Cambodians. and stop claming and put thai on khmer cultures

[khmerefamily]

[team1perfection]

[LiLxDawGG]

Wtf do you mean by that? Never beat you cambos? But it already happened you dumbass... The Cambodian Kingdom in the old capital of Angkor was sacked and looted by Thais.. After that, Angkor was abanadoned for some time and the capital of Cambodia was moved to Phnenom Penh.

[samuraiyao]

We ain't extinct yet. You can steal our possession and temples but you will never kill our spirit.. We will stop at nothing to rule once that was ours, and that is Southeast Asia... J/K

[borish007]
