Even in retirement, I see that Kumagai has retained that sweet little habit she always had of kicking an opponent when he or she was on the canvas. Still, she's a legend and worthy of considerable respect, as this brave little bozo can now testify to.
Naoko Kumagai is on my list of fighters I wish would get their ass kicked because they are so overrated. Ann Wolfe would send this chick into instant retirement.
Kumagai has been retired for a few years, after a kick boxing career in which she utterly destroyed the best in the business, more often than not in the opening round of fights. Ann Wolfe is much heavier and from an entirely different disciplne. You can no more speculate on how Kumagai would react to Wolfe's punches than how Ann would stand up to those vicious knee strikes.
Kumagai-san is 20 in this clip, so methinks this is from 1991.

I love Naoko! Thanks for posting this!
One complaint - Naoko is not a kickboxer, she is a nak muay ying. Muay Thai is NOT kickboxing.
Sorry, we MT types get irked by that :D

Uhhhh. Are you fucking retarded? Wolfe isn't even within 4 weightclasses of Kumagai. Nevermind the fact that she's a kickboxer.

What a wimp! Naoko is not really impressive. If that guy fought Vitali Klitchsko he would be dead, not joking.
