[B.Tunks]

Wow, they got JWP doing these!

[B.Tunks]

Yeah, I'm not surprised though, hearing the prize money that they are offering at these events now. Can't be a bad thing at least in terms of raising the standard of the matches and maybe bringing some credibility.

[lkfmdc]

now the money is good? when it was US vs China it was awful money

[B.Tunks]

Don't quote me but apparently Steve McKinnon got 150K plus for winning Kungfu King last year. K1 Japan are apparently assisting in the organisation/promotion of the cable T.V events in China and there is plenty of money behind these events now. They are starting to scout for fighters in the pacific and K1 have a solid presence here, hence Aussie fighters getting a look in so far.

[Violent Designs]

This is gonna be sick. JWP is a great guy.

[B.Tunks]

Apologies fellas - did some fact checking tonight and it was more like 180K RMB (so closer to 30K USD). Nowhere near what I was originally told but still a decent amount for China. Nothing like a bit of Chinese whispers hey, ha ha...

T

[bawang]

180k rmb is a sh1tload of money in china.

also i am very excited for muay thai tranny. *rubs testicles

[B.Tunks]

China won 3-2. Sounds dodgy as hell, for example JWP got beaten on points (but was apparently opened up). The only Muay Thai victories were K.O's - no surprise there. Beautiful Boxer got beaten hands down apparently. I'll have to reserve judgment until I see the fights, but even in the Chinese reports it sounded like the usual rules controversy and bad judging.

[lkfmdc]

if you find video, please post it

I could see JWP losing on points, he lost in shootboxing on points, especially because he is very traditional Muay Thai and the scoring is different

Did you say he got cut open????? :eek:

[B.Tunks]

Will do.

Yeah, one of the articles said he was opened above the eye (and he does get cut a fair bit) but my Chinese is not so good so not sure if it's right.

[bawang]

Beautiful Boxer got beaten hands down apparently.

:(:(:(:(:(:(:(

here are clips of the fights :)

http://s.sohu.com/20101218/n278380398.shtml just fast forward through the box adjustments!

[B.Tunks]

Beat me to it! The JWP ZKY fight looked pretty close from the highlight clip. Parr looking a little sluggish. The rules were close to K1 - no throws, no elbows, no knees to head.

yeah he looked off his game,

[B.Tunks]

Proabably still recovering from Yodsaenklai.

Meant to be no throws (or at least throws weren't meant to count as points I think) but that bird that flogged the tranny was taking it as a full sanda fight by the look of it. Good tactic if they were allowed but not scored as that would have frustrated him/her badly. Chinese girl looked sharp as hell too I reckon...

[B.Tunks]

don't know what's up with the rules, looks like they were on a fight by fight basis. full throws and elbows in the first...

i suspect they made the rules up as they went along, as you say an awful lot of throws for an event that wasn emant to be no throws :)

i agree the chinese girl looked very good

[B.Tunks]

Close fight. I think Zhang did more, particularly early rounds. Looks like a legitimate victory:
