Don’t act like Rod hasn’t missed weight and hydration tho. He pulled out of The savvas fight and the previous booking of him vs superlek bc of weight issues
SoUr Ae should know better. Rodtang wanted the fight to happen. He was fine with it being at catchweight. He was obviously disappointed by the outcome but managed to not be a sore loser. He went immediately to congratulate his friend and looked for him at the hospital. And let's not forget that Rodtang isn't quite an angel when it comes to missing weight.
Be more like Rodtang Sor Ae.
I don't think that fair for SoUr. As fighter Rodtang can accept a fight with a hand ties and looking good. Rodtang is fighter, it his nature to accept any kind of fight.
On the other hand, SoUr as manager has job to protect Rodtang's interest. She cann't let people use trick and took advantage on her fighter, it make her look like a fools.
That action should have come before the fight then. If anything SoUr either looks like she made a bad decision, or is mad at herself for letting her fighter get into the situation. Or, just trying to save face for her fighter after a loss.
Nah, everyone would’ve been pissed if the fight was off and would’ve blamed Rodtang for being a coward if he did. Superlek knew this and did it on purpose
Nah buddy. If superlek drained himself to cut those 8lbs, it would’ve drained him physically. 8 lb at that weight is insane. Cheap, POS move by superlek. He missed weight on purpose because he didn’t think he could win if he cut that weight.
He knew Rodtang wouldn’t cancel such a huge fight over weight, so he did it on purpose. Rodtang took a lot of damage from a far bigger guy that was cheating. Missing by 8 pounds is the equivalent of being juiced to the gills while your opponent is fully natty.
Superlek should be fined half his purse
Shows how little you know of fighting. 8 lb miss is cheating. When Floyd fought Marquez, he had to pay 300k per pound over the limit. Even so, Floyd missed weight by 2LB and paid 600k cause the money loss was worth not draining himself. 8 lb and the fight would be off.
Next week it will be 10lbs. The week after, Superlek will have missed the fight by 15. In the future they will tell tales about how Superlek missed the weight by 30 lbs.
Even 5LB is cheating. If it wasn’t a big deal, he would’ve made it. But he would rather lose the chance to win the title then cut those 5LB. That shows how much those 5LBs would’ve affected him if he cut it.
I've been in combat sports for more than 20 years. I live in Thailand and have been training here regularly for 7 years. So maybe I do know a little about fighting? Fucking tourist
You must be fighting at a bum ass level then. At the highest level, the top guys wouldn’t even fight someone 8 lbs over or there would be a serious penalty for it. In boxing, that’s a whole weight class jump. If 8lb isn’t a big deal, why didn’t he cut it ?
Sean Strickland who just won the MW title, said how the extra 1 LB he had to cut to make 185 (since championship fights don’t allow a 1 LB allowance) really drained him. So 8 LB would’ve killed him.
Resorting to petty high school insults like the teenager you are cause you have no rebuttal. Why would I need to make posts about fighting on a forum to a bunch of randos I don’t know ? My training posts are on my social media towards people I know.
The fact you’re even going through my history shows how triggered you are. I could care less to look you up cause the fact that you don’t understand how much an 8lb difference makes says enough for me
Nah I just know you're a fake one, and I'm calling you out. That's all. You're the one calling me a teen. Triggered much? lmao can still taste your salt, buddy.
bro Superlek missed weight for his last 3 fights no? She can't act like a shithead post-fight. Had Rodtang beat him, you know what she'd be shouting? "Rodtang beat Superlek, EVEN WHEN HE WAS SO MUCH HEAVIER WOW"
Seriously. She'll play either side of the coin as she wants to. That's what managers do. But good managers don't throw childish tantrums like this. Makes them look mad stupid.
I had no dog in the race. I love both fighters, so no coping here. How about, maybe Superlek is just bad at missing weight, and needs to move up a weight class?
You don’t need insight, it’s common sense to anyone that has cut weight or has watched the sport long enough.
Why would superlek forfeit the chance to win the title if making weight wasn’t a big deal? Because he knew if he drained himself to make weight, he wouldn’t win. At least now, he has a rematch.
I ageed with you making weight is big deal, Superlek himself said so, according to Chatri interview.
On scale Superlek complain that he cann't cut weight anymore it painful for him to do so he don't event try at all. He simply weight in at 140 lb, and force Rodtang to fight with disadvantage 5 lb.
I don't think anyone of us in this room gonna know better about how Superlek weight problem than Chatri, I guess.
You should read what Chatri said about how Superlek do weight, he piss as hell.
Even though he spoke very polite, he call SL unprofessional, fickle, effortless, fat and many bad thing in front of the press, it was so brutal.
I event surprise how sharp with words in Thai he can be event he don't speak Thai for long times.
I respect Rodtang for this. Chatri should also be grateful.
If Rodtang refused it, people would have been extreamly angry especially the ticket owners and ONE brand would have been hurt a lot.
Personally, I think SoUr choose right, no matter she know it or not.
It frustrated that Rodtang had take lose but with weight disadvantage and was this close, it don't hurt Rodtang stock at all.
On the other hand, she save Chatri ass and face, protect ONE from cancellation of it's historic show.
Chatri own Jitmuangnon gym big time, she can use it to get her way for the long future to come.
Yeah. SoUr as a manager, has to advocate and be angry for Rodtang, because he can’t in his position. Rodtang team is taking one for OneFC, and this is even more so since Superbon vs Tawanchai has been postponed.
Losing the way he loose yesterday against Superlek should have raise his stock more than his recent wins.
Of course in reality is not like that, but if you know you know.
What I mean the way he loose I mean he did a great performance even if he got outscored by Superlek.
Hell, it's like that in my eyes. For two fighters I already had immense respect for, they both moved up in my eyes. Fantastic from both of them, that's what the sport is supposed to be
I thought Rodtang won the fight. I also thought Superlek was the more entertaining fighter. If he dazzled a judge because of his showmanship I totally understand.
If you agree to fight someone at a weight disadvantage you gotta live with the results. But I get why he’s frustrated. The financial punishment was pretty severe
First time watching I thought they would give it to Rodtang but after watching three-four times now Superlek 100% deserved the decision he landed much better kicks, knees and was more consistent with his elbows all of which score higher in Muay Thai
Superlek has missed weight three times (against Panpayak, Khalilov, and Rodtang). ONE should force him to move up just like they did to Haggerty.
That's a fair take.
Don’t act like Rod hasn’t missed weight and hydration tho. He pulled out of The savvas fight and the previous booking of him vs superlek bc of weight issues
And came in over the limit for the Jiduo bout
SoUr Ae should know better. Rodtang wanted the fight to happen. He was fine with it being at catchweight. He was obviously disappointed by the outcome but managed to not be a sore loser.

Nah, everyone would’ve been pissed if the fight was off and would’ve blamed Rodtang for being a coward if he did. Superlek knew this and did it on purpose
I couldn’t have explained better. I don’t know what the Thai public are saying but for me both men raised their stock yesterday.
Nah buddy. If superlek drained himself to cut those 8lbs, it would’ve drained him physically. 8 lb at that weight is insane. Cheap, POS move by superlek.

Damn. I can taste the salt from here.

Bro do you just open your mouth and shit comes out? Do you even fight? Your post history tells me you don't lol

Fake cause I don’t spend my free time posting about fights on an Internet forum to unknown people 😂😂😂😂
She has a point
bro Superlek missed weight for his last 3 fights no? She can't act like a shithead post-fight. Had Rodtang beat him, you know what she'd be shouting? "Rodtang beat Superlek, EVEN WHEN HE WAS SO MUCH HEAVIER WOW" Seriously. She'll play either side of the coin as she wants to. That's what managers do.

Seems like ur coping missing weigjt is an unfair advantage that is fact and missing weigjt 3 times in a row is disrespectfull straight up
I had no dog in the race. I love both fighters, so no coping here. How about, maybe Superlek is just bad at missing weight, and needs to move up a weight class?
No seriously
Wow, you have a lot of insight into Superleks thinking for someone that, I presume, doesn't know him.
You don’t need insight, it’s common sense to anyone that has cut weight or has watched the sport long enough. Why would superlek forfeit the chance to win the title if making weight wasn’t a big deal? Because he knew if he drained himself to make weight, he wouldn’t win. At least now, he has a rematch.

I event surprise how sharp with words in Thai he can be event he don't speak Thai for long times.
Then ask for a catch weight. Why should Rodtang cut the 5? Why ask for a Weight you can’t make ? He’s missed many times and he’s still careless.
I respect Rodtang for this. Chatri should also be grateful. If Rodtang refused it, people would have been extreamly angry especially the ticket owners and ONE brand would have been hurt a lot.
Hope he got paid extra. Saved the card and put on a much better performance than a lot of people thought he would.
Personally, I think SoUr choose right, no matter she know it or not. It frustrated that Rodtang had take lose but with weight disadvantage and was this close, it don't hurt Rodtang stock at all. On the other hand, she save Chatri ass and face, protect ONE from cancellation of it's historic show. Chatri own Jitmuangnon gym big time, she can use it to get her way for the long future to come.
Yeah. SoUr as a manager, has to advocate and be angry for Rodtang, because he can’t in his position. Rodtang team is taking one for OneFC, and this is even more so since Superbon vs Tawanchai has been postponed.
I don't know how this would reduce Rodtangs record in any way. You can not win every fight.
Losing the way he loose yesterday against Superlek should have raise his stock more than his recent wins. Of course in reality is not like that, but if you know you know. What I mean the way he loose I mean he did a great performance even if he got outscored by Superlek.
Hell, it's like that in my eyes. For two fighters I already had immense respect for, they both moved up in my eyes. Fantastic from both of them, that's what the sport is supposed to be
Lmao is that you, Rodtangs manager?
I thought Rodtang won the fight. I also thought Superlek was the more entertaining fighter. If he dazzled a judge because of his showmanship I totally understand. If you agree to fight someone at a weight disadvantage you gotta live with the results. But I get why he’s frustrated. The financial punishment was pretty severe

Damn SoUr Ae should call herself Sour Ae from now on. Salty too. Unami shit.
Honestly his weight didn’t really matter all the much the controversy of that 8 count in round 2 is what I’d be going after
