Not only about fighting

MuayThai surly not only about fighting that’s a thing i have known for a long time but I was to remembered that last weekend  (9 Feb) when I promoted & organized the MuayThai show at our local club in Karlstad. In the end I managed to promote 15 fights, clean up the whole gym, fix all the paper work and documents you need to get the show approved from the association, took contact with a Doctor and made sure he will make it. Went to the whole sale to buy all the Hot Dogs & soft drinks that we can offer the spectators, then went back to the gym to train the fighters that has fights the following week, and to massage a few fighters that were fighting in our local show the next day  

 A grupp photo of the fighters just b4 the shoe was about to start

Finally I arrived at home to see my family just a bit tired not too much, before receiving a few phone calls and sms from trainers that are now telling me that their fighter is ill and can’t fight tomorrow.

With less then 14 hours for the show to start. Late Friday night I had to quickly make a few phone calls and thank god I found 2 fighters that could step in and take the fights with a very short notice.

I must not forget to thank all the team that helped this show being a good and nice MuayThai gala.

The 3 judges Tam Somaboth, Watchara & Phen. You all did a great work with the scoring cards giving unanimous decisions in all the fights. That is something that rarely happens in Sweden.

   The judges & some supervisers under the table.

A big thanks to the speaker Philip Kruse and the time keeper Chon Meephan. Not to forget Don Juan that made a great job in the ring corner with the local fighters, despite 2 of 4 lost by KO, haha. That’s how it is in sports you win you lose, you go to know how to handle it when you win by not flaying up in the clouds and surly you got to know how to handle a defeat. 

If you want to make it far in any sport you have got to criticize you self and your training, ask yourself how can I improve and what did I do wrong. And sometimes a loss Is not a big deal cause you just fought a fighter that was more experienced and stronger then you. You just have to keep training hard and your day will come.  

 Good work from young Rinkeby boy Max Elo that gave Kalifen a hard time the 3 first rounds before Kalifen was to take the fight in the end.

All the best from MM SPORTS.
