If people are wondering how you beat the karate elusive style, this is how you do it. chin down, hands up, cut off the ring, work the body and legs. perfect gameplan, karate fighters are very fast so trying to catch them is suicide. chop his legs down take away his movement then you got him.
Shogun did this against Machida in the UFC twice when Machida was a champ in his prime. Also to keep in mind, is to feint and counter their counter. Or use a little outside striking to pressure them into engaging and then counter them that way instead.
every time someone like Joseph or Nikki strikes, it looks like a beautiful extremely well choreographed dance. wow Raymond on the other hand looks like a bunch of disjointed Furious put together. (No diss to Raymond, he is a pioneer for glory kickboxing.)
Big fan of both these fighters. Bazooka Joe is so technical in everything he does its brilliant. His combinations are perfectly put together and his hands are always in position to defend. Daniels speed for his size is unreal and his accuracy with such advanced techniques is almost magical. Cant understand why kickboxing hasnt taken off to more popularity in America. The fighters are incredible and its all stand up which is almost everybody's favorite part of mma. I tell every mma fan who will listen to watch Glory
Kickboxing was popular in america but by propaganda whiteboys in the movies wooping everyone. When u see kickboxing every nation competes so whiteboys have a hard time shining. So they develop amateur martial arts mma so they can have a grapplers chance for when stand up is to hard.
Sometimes when ur opponent is so out of the box what works best is the basics... Joe showed this perfectly he came out hands high chin down chopping away at Raymond’s legs slowing him down while working the body. Just perfect
Great use of tactics on Joe's part. I really do love the fact that the audience is quiet and respectful in Japan. I hate watching fights in other countries where the crowd is screaming & booing even if it's a good fight.
man i love japan and their fighting culture but fuck off with the romantization of their crowds. They most definitely LOVE an espectacle of extreme brutal violence. It's just also a part of their culture to be reserved and not annoying to the guy next to you, it's just customs really. long live RIZIN.
Quintessential fight: Rick Roufus vs Changpuek Kietsongrit - the first major televised match for kickboxing v muay thai. Played out exactly the same way. Roufus looked like he was going to kill Kietsongrit at the start of the fight. ruclips.net/video/7ia35g8wWfk/видео.html
Absolutely love how its really quiet and I can hear all the contact and foot steps. Just found out about Glory today. UFC was growing a bit lame to me. This is awesome.
Dean K. What "money fights" are you refering to? Only one i can think of is CM punk which i can agree was stupid but one fight shouldnt ruin fights like khabib vs tony, cody vs tj, aldo vs holloway
sakarai kyotomi Mark Hunt vs Brock Lesnar, BJ Penn Vs Yair Rodriguez, Bisping vs Henderson 2, Silva vs Cormier, and McGregor vs Diaz 2 where Conor should have defended his 145 lb title but got to choose his fight.
I guess Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know a way to log back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly forgot my login password. I love any assistance you can offer me.
Although he got beat, you really have to admire RD's spirit. I've noticed that in his losses to both Valtellini and Holzken, he was getting absolutely slaughtered at one point where a victory seemed inconceivable, but he never gave up (and even scored a knockdown against Holzken!).
We really don’t have to admire any part of him. He’s a dorky kicker with zero hands and leg kick defense. One dimensional striker. Being celebrated for their heart just means you’re a punching bag and that shouldn’t be admired
@@zamzamxiv he's an elite striker with one of the craziest highlight reels of jaw dropping KO's. wtf are you on about? this was a HUGE win for veltellini. taking out RD is no joke and he got systematically dismantled in this fight.
That Daniels Karate blitz style is great, but I don't think it works well with the heavy gloves. With boxing gloves, it's easy to shield off behind a high guard with your chin down and then work the legs.
@Weghweh Hwewehwhe i think the same I feel so many karate guys would benefit going to Thailand and learning how to really adapt there style to kickboxing.
These commentators are so slow to describe the action. They don't even point out how badly Daniels is hurt when he stops hopping around, begins leans stiffly on the left leg, and switches stances to protect the leg. They wait until Valtellini has pummeled the leg until they even mention it, and even then, they don't even point out how badly hurt the guy is, or how the leg kicks are what won the fight for Valtellini! The leg kicks crippled Daniels' movement and froze him up for Joe to land solid punches and the two great high kicks, which sealed the deal.
I'm glad the announcers aren't blabbering about the moves; I don't want to hear it. I want to watch as if I'm there, not as if I'm sitting next to some roided-out blabbermouth "expert"
A superb fight plan from Bazooka Joe. Keeping to the basics, and applying those leg kicks with extreme prejudice. Raymond's leg was gone by the end. Joe had him so preoccupied with the low kicks that he left himself open up high. Brilliant.
I enjoy seeing fighters with the god complex like Daniels lose. He's brilliant at what he does sure but he had no answer for those brutal leg kicks. You could see him desperately trying to hide it when those kicks were landing. Joe is a beast for sure.
RD has been arrogant since his sport karate days. I've never seen him lose before and hope his humble pie brings a valuable lesson. The fact that he has his pre fight routine AFTER the bell, is pure A-hole.
leg kicks are brutal if utilized properly... its like 2 edged sword, if it lands its extremely effective, but if you get those kicks checked you can easily break your leg
legniak1 bullshit you get countered you dont have these fluffy gloves to protect your face.. I bet the Thaiboxer would lose more then this karate guy...in mma....
Love both of these guys, but such an amazing performance from Joe. Made adjustments after the first round and executed his game plan perfectly. All time great leg kicking.
He broke Daniels legs down, never let him get good ring position, stood on him constantly, kept his hands up and wore Daniels down. Daniels was dangerously tired from the beginning of the 2nd
This is a great example to beat a karate fighter. Cut the ring, do not play their game cause they will win, use body kicks when they're circling way, counter with leg kicks when they do that blitzing shit, have a tight guard
I love Daniels flashy style, but Joe was perfect in sticking to basics and cutting off the ring, using leg kicks to slow Daniels down. Perfect execution
Those leg kicks nasty,very hard to watch for me Raymond Daniels one my favourite fighters exciting,but leg kicks how beat sport karate,I do sport karate and Muay Thai love both them,
Yeah that was surprising. I like Duke as a commentator and his perspective. But totally disagreed with how that first round went. I guess sometimes you miss some.
woodley is nowhere near the striker that Bazooka Joe is.. also he can't block the same way that Joe did with UFC gloves.. and finally Wonderboy is more accurate than Daniels..
Victor Caison Wonderboy is on a completely different level to this guy are you stupid if woodley got anywhere near Thompson he's getting he's head kicked off
Leg kicks against high level karate fighters has been a thing since Rick Roufus vs Changpeauk Kiatsongrit. And Daniels is a super talented kickboxer but the strategy works if you’re good enough to implement it.
I've done karate and Dutch kickboxing, there both fantastic striking options in my opinion. you really can't say one style is better than the other. It just depends on can keep the range or close it. and Masters like Bazooka Joe are experts in cutting off the ring
+Tre' Roney when it's a kickboxing fight I would much rather have the Dutch Kickboxing of a Nieky Holzken over the point karate of Daniels any day though
God damn those gloves are huge! Daniels Bellator fight brought me here.. Amazing kicker... but he throws a lot and a lot high from a far distance. A good wrestler would capitalize on that. The guy he fought in Bellator was was waaayy too slow for him though.. he couldn’t even move out of the way from the half assed kicks Daniels threw. ...but Daniels is very wild and throws a lot of uncalculated strikes. I think a lot of UFC vets especially top 5 guys, would make easy work of him. I’d put him at same level as Yair Rodriguez.
Very sloppy punches from daniels. I doubt he could beat any solid mauy thai fighter. His blitz style would be shut down very quickly by leg kicks. This is a good example of that
the problem with daniels style is mainly the size of the ring..its a ,lot smaller than an mma cage, which limits movement etc..this is why MVP is so successful with his style in mma..he has a lot more space there, whereas in these kickboxing competitions the muay thai based styles seem very efective because its much easier to cut someone off and into a corner..if mvp fought these kickboxing competitions, it would be a lot harder for him as well..
id still give him the advantage tho..specially in the octagon sized a lot of these world class muay thay guys would have a hard time because they r too stationary..
Hayabusa is it just me or does anybody else miss the old style against style days of the UFC before everyone started cross training. In my opinion it should true martial arts and made the fighters use what they knew a little more in how to deal with different styles
Great to see a fellow Italian fighting at such a high level. Too bad he doesn't fight anymore. Makes me wanna go back and watch some Arturo Gatti boxing matches too.
Are the commentators watching the same fight? Valtellini was all over him, from the first round, Daniels landed nothing significant, Val landed the much harder shots (leg kicks). The commentators are clueless
I just realized...Duke Rufus is the commentator. His brother lost in a similar fashion to a MuayThai...and I can't believe he still doesn't give Muay Thai credit for those low kicks. Still salty because it doesn't take much talent to do low kicks. ROFL!
Not true about not needing talent for low kicks. I know very few who can land them well with power and good timing. There's also the art of setting them up properly so they don't get checked. They're the most dangerous weapon in kickboxing if used well.
Its really cool hearing Duke Roufous talking about the effectivenrss of lowkicks after seing the fight where his brother Rick got beat by savage lowkicks in the famous "the fight that changed kickboxing history" back in the day!
horrible commentating by duke. by 7:40 the fight is over and Duke didnt mention once how nasty Joe's low kicks were or how much damage they were doing.
That was such a pleasure to watch, the two commentators just did not know what they were talking about !!” Daniels has a unique skill, Daniels has double the amount of experience” Daniels is lying on his back, you Muppets. He just was not good enough and came up against somebody who had a bit of humidity and was in a big mouth with a big head, and he got what he deserved beautiful fight to see him flat on his face.
Holy shit, man. I really like Joe Valtellini's style and athleticism. He needs work on some aspects of his game, but he has a really great foundation. I wish he was as young as he looks because that would mean he still has tons of time to get even better and develop more, but he's 30 now. His decline pretty much just begun. Some guys can extend their peak until about 35 and the extremely rare ones can go beyond that. But, usually, after 30, you only have a few more good years in you. I wish him the best. Very chill and humble style. No theatrics and peacock feathers. Just pure, technical, and focused fighting. Really like this guy a lot. Plus, a very admirable career outside of fighting.
Rui He said striking discipline any ground base discipline is not relevant to standing/striking rules such as this one. And he's right Muay Thai is best standing discipline.
I love this fight , beautiful work from joe . Everything just perfect . Them leg kicks certainly did their work and that relentless pressure . Not to mention superior hands
I love boxing but how somebody could want to watch boxing or Muay Thai/Kickboxing is insane to me. Such a shame the public isnt catching on to this yet
Valtenllini made Daniels play his game -- false engagement in the first round to get Daniels chasing him and tiring out in the 1st round -- Come 2nd round, Daniels is sloppier and slower, Valtenllini's power and technique quickly overcomes Daniels in the 2nd round. Elevate.
Dude it's like the first round he just sat back and read his opponent and then the second and third round just came out and straight demolished in kid is a beast
Two excellent martial artists both of their styles have strengths and weaknesses, Joe utilised his strengths better and nullified his opponents strengths more effectively. I think Daniels showed huge heart though those keg kicks were hurtful.
This was a classic case of a kickboxer versus a Muaythai fighter. Raymond Daniels is definitely more skilled, he just needs to spend some time in Thailand. Yes this remind me of the movie kickboxer.
If people are wondering how you beat the karate elusive style, this is how you do it. chin down, hands up, cut off the ring, work the body and legs. perfect gameplan, karate fighters are very fast so trying to catch them is suicide. chop his legs down take away his movement then you got him.

Shogun did this against Machida in the UFC twice when Machida was a champ in his prime.
Also to keep in mind, is to feint and counter their counter. Or use a little outside striking to pressure them into engaging and then counter them that way instead.

Asian Pursuasion Daniels is a high ranking blank belt in kenpo karate my friend.
Big fan of both these fighters. Bazooka Joe is so technical in everything he does its brilliant. His combinations are perfectly put together and his hands are always in position to defend. Daniels speed for his size is unreal and his accuracy with such advanced techniques is almost magical. Cant understand why kickboxing hasnt taken off to more popularity in America.

Wow those low kicks certainly took the fight right out of Daniels. Never seen the tide turn that drastically from destroying the opponents base.
Kudos to Daniels for staying in there for as long as he did. Didn't check any of those low kicks and continued for longer than I expected.

Agreed.
that slap sound though i mean i felt it on my thigh

It's a bitch to even get in and out of your car. The worst lol
@@conversationstranglersteve9873 lol if you ever see a toilet paper holder broken off the wall.....that person got too many leg kicks

right
True, high-guard is much more effective with large boxing gloves than with smaller oz gloves or no gloves.
Good point
Muay Thai leg kicks are the most effective way to destroy jumpers.
@Weghweh Hwewehwhe He is a karate fighter since childhood so it's pretty much impossible to change it after it's so hardwired into you.
@@roylim194 of course he can fight that’s why he’s there. Just that the weakness to Daniels style is pressure and cornering them

@@roylim194 “Raymond can’t fight” is one of the funniest things I have ever heard in my life.
Yeah in kickboxing for sure. In mma it's a whole different story though
No leg kicks were checked that day. Goodness gracious... Also, Joe brought me here.
Not something karate guys do.. Not a good strategy versus a good leg kicker.
These commentators are so slow to describe the action.

I would love to see you commentate lets see how good you are.
100% They didn't even mention the leg kicks in the first round from Valtellini. Commentary seemed very amateurish
Some of those kicks from Joe were brutal. I could feel it through my computer screen.
Valtellini's striking in a real fight is cleaner than most guys working technique on a heavy bag. Fucking precise.
Don't swear.
Props to the ref who prevented daniels' head from bouncing off the canvas
That was awesome by his part! Great job he did there!!!
I didnt see it at first. Good job
Yeah amazing ref work, didn't even start the count, he knew the fight was not competitive at all after his legs were destroyed.
A superb fight plan from Bazooka Joe. Keeping to the basics, and applying those leg kicks with extreme prejudice. Raymond's leg was gone by the end. Joe had him so preoccupied with the low kicks that he left himself open up high.
Brilliant.

He learned a lot from this fight. He's not as bad as dealing with Muay Thai now.
I don't think he's that bad as a person. He's just there to entertain and pull off some sick moves.
RD has been arrogant since his sport karate days. I've never seen him lose before and hope his humble pie brings a valuable lesson. The fact that he has his pre fight routine AFTER the bell, is pure A-hole.
Powerful Joe Valtellini!
leg kicks are brutal. If more Ufc/mma guys use leg kicks it would be a huge weapon. Remember Uriah Faber' leg after the Aldo fight? Horrific
legniak1 There takedown threat in MMA makes them less effective
CM678 that's why you gotta have a good sprawl. They won't wanna even get close if you got a good leg kick.
leg kicks are brutal if utilized properly... its like 2 edged sword, if it lands its extremely effective, but if you get those kicks checked you can easily break your leg

lennux ND1 agreed as a tkd and karate fighter myself
How to beat them in kickboxing*, it's a totally different striking dynamic in MMA.
also I think both fighters are awesome and I loved how both of them used their own styles
Love the contrast of styles in this matchup
It didn't even replay the knockout.
There's no replay in real life
I could listen to Duke Roufus do commentary all day.
Joe Rogan brought me here
A town Yup
same
me too lol
from where?
Same
Love Raymond's unique style.
POWERFUL JRE!
John McClane khalibib
I love Daniels flashy style, but Joe was perfect in sticking to basics and cutting off the ring, using leg kicks to slow Daniels down. Perfect execution
How many people watch this cause of jre
That outside leg kick is murder.
Bazooka pretty much did the same thing over and over again and it couldn't be stopped. Wow.
Joe looks like a totally different fighter after the 1st round
Those leg kicks nasty,very hard to watch for me Raymond Daniels one my favourite fighters exciting,but leg kicks how beat sport karate,I do sport karate and Muay Thai love both them,
You can set up kicks and hide under double guard with those big gloves... in MMA mobility is more important. look how Overeem changed his style
Laserowy Kuba no overeem is steroid using cheat,
everyone is
I agree I get seeing some Kickboxing that use just legs as it's nice to have a bit of Razzle and Dazzle
Is that duke commentating? dude was clueless in the first round.
smokeclouds8 I 100 percent agree
He was comparing Daniels to Pernell... smh. He was getting lit up in that same round...
No he wasn't, moron.
No he wasn't what?... put some substance to your sentence if you're going to call someone a moron lol
Yeah that was surprising. I like Duke as a commentator and his perspective. But totally disagreed with how that first round went. I guess sometimes you miss some.
I like how the ref caught Raymond falling so he doesn't slam his head on the floor. Good referring here.
Woodly should replicate this strategy against wonderboy. Mixed with his wrestling I could see him easily winning.
Definitely, Woodley has some pretty powerful kicks if you saw his Condit fight. He should use them more often.
Victor Caison but surprisingly he did manage to catch Thompson on the feet. Shows how fast woodley is.
woodley is nowhere near the striker that Bazooka Joe is.. also he can't block the same way that Joe did with UFC gloves.. and finally Wonderboy is more accurate than Daniels..
Victor Caison Wonderboy is on a completely different level to this guy are you stupid if woodley got anywhere near Thompson he's getting he's head kicked off
Agreed.. If woodly would use a lot more kicks against wonder boy it could of been over quick
Leg kicks against high level karate fighters has been a thing since Rick Roufus vs Changpeauk Kiatsongrit. And Daniels is a super talented kickboxer but the strategy works if you’re good enough to implement it.
Raymond Daniels is no clown. You guys are ridiculous saying that because of his unorthodox style.
I've done karate and Dutch kickboxing, there both fantastic striking options in my opinion. you really can't say one style is better than the other. It just depends on can keep the range or close it. and Masters like Bazooka Joe are experts in cutting off the ring
+Tre' Roney when it's a kickboxing fight I would much rather have the Dutch Kickboxing of a Nieky Holzken over the point karate of Daniels any day though
+MrOasis316 why so? Elaborate
Because Dutch Kick boxing is much better than point karate in a kick boxing fight.
+Tre' Roney I completely agree
Love how his corner cheers whenever he lands a lowkick
Excelente combate y ambos grandes deportistas... felicitaciones a ambos y son muy profesionales mis respetos
No matter what you say i am a muay thi fan,and watching those 5 sec one hit clinches hurt
Shoutout to the ref who catches the fighter before he falls
Raymond was behind in his skills, but he didn't waste time hugging his opponent until the end.I think this part should be highly appreciated.
"Looks like Daniels' bells were jingled there" after that nut shot 😂
Never laugh at a nut shot.
@@MikeD-hn9hf I laugh at the nut shots I take in the gym...after the pain goes away first 😂
Losing the fitness of striker Raymond Daniels almost became a waste before rival Joe Valtellini
God damn those gloves are huge!
Daniels Bellator fight brought me here..
Amazing kicker... but he throws a lot and a lot high from a far distance. A good wrestler would capitalize on that.
The guy he fought in Bellator was was waaayy too slow for him though.. he couldn’t even move out of the way from the half assed kicks Daniels threw.
...but Daniels is very wild and throws a lot of uncalculated strikes. I think a lot of UFC vets especially top 5 guys, would make easy work of him.
I’d put him at same level as Yair Rodriguez.
Yair actually has a better ground game than Daniels, so Daniels is in trouble if he goes up against a wrestler.
Very sloppy punches from daniels. I doubt he could beat any solid mauy thai fighter. His blitz style would be shut down very quickly by leg kicks. This is a good example of that
Daniels first mma fight ended in him choked out. He didn't fight MMA again until many many MANY years later.
Defend, stay strong, pin point target, hit hard and then repeat....just perfect
the problem with daniels style is mainly the size of the ring..its a ,lot smaller than an mma cage, which limits movement etc..this is why MVP is so successful with his style in mma..he has a lot more space there, whereas in these kickboxing competitions the muay thai based styles seem very efective because its much easier to cut someone off and into a corner..if mvp fought these kickboxing competitions, it would be a lot harder for him as well..
id still give him the advantage tho..specially in the octagon sized a lot of these world class muay thay guys would have a hard time because they r too stationary..
hes also sucesful cuz he fights sum fighters with 10w_10L ratio fighters but yes his striking is flashy
MVP is knocking out bums. Not sold on him until he makes it to the big league, but he is obviously highly skilled.
also no one is really good at muay thai in mma
Hayabusa is it just me or does anybody else miss the old style against style days of the UFC before everyone started cross training. In my opinion it should true martial arts and made the fighters use what they knew a little more in how to deal with different styles
Great to see a fellow Italian fighting at such a high level. Too bad he doesn't fight anymore. Makes me wanna go back and watch some Arturo Gatti boxing matches too.
and thats why flashy fighting is always gonna be secondary to real fighting
Yep even prince naseem in boxing learned that
Perfect masterclass from Valtellini.
Joe valtellini has some power in that right leg damn
Such amazing striking techniques between both fighters
Are the commentators watching the same fight? Valtellini was all over him, from the first round, Daniels landed nothing significant, Val landed the much harder shots (leg kicks). The commentators are clueless
What a fantastic execution of a game plan !
Wonderboy vs darren till
Alan Jouban Till needs to do this. Masvidal was
doing this against Wonderboy but he he kind of stopped throwing leg kicks for some reason.
Let's appreciate how the announcer hit "Bazooka Joe Valtellini"
what a great fight!!!
Bazooka Joe is one of my favorite fighters. He walks people down with his high guard and lights them up with combinations and relentless pressure.

That was such a pleasure to watch, the two commentators just did not know what they were talking about !!” Daniels has a unique skill, Daniels has double the amount of experience”
Daniels is lying on his back, you Muppets. He just was not good enough and came up against somebody who had a bit of humidity and was in a big mouth with a big head, and he got what he deserved beautiful fight to see him flat on his face.
ok joe krogan
Holy shit, man. I really like Joe Valtellini's style and athleticism. He needs work on some aspects of his game, but he has a really great foundation. I wish he was as young as he looks because that would mean he still has tons of time to get even better and develop more, but he's 30 now. His decline pretty much just begun. Some guys can extend their peak until about 35 and the extremely rare ones can go beyond that. But, usually, after 30, you only have a few more good years in you. I wish him the best. Very chill and humble style. No theatrics and peacock feathers. Just pure, technical, and focused fighting. Really like this guy a lot. Plus, a very admirable career outside of fighting.
Raymond Daniels was unteachable, till this Italian job happened to him... tsk tsk tsk.
No me canso de ver cómo revientan a el Ramón este por mamon con los otros peleadores
Roberto Gutierrez de verdad o no ojalá i lo revienten otra ves sino me tragare mis palabras va a estar chingona la revancha
*SPOILER ALERT*
I loved the moment when Valtellini's high kick hits Daniels arrogant over over confident face. BAM! Right on the kisser.
More I watch this, the less Interest I have in MMA. I respect wrestling but can't resist that stand up fight charm
muay Thai defeats any striking discipline
not true tbh
Muay thai+ good boxing beats any striking discipline. The only way muay thai loses is in mma cause of the smaller gloves and takedowns
for sure. Good hands with muay thai + ground discipline is the best way to go
Rui He said striking discipline any ground base discipline is not relevant to standing/striking rules such as this one. And he's right Muay Thai is best standing discipline.
What about Dutch Kickboxing?
10:34 Joe kicks Raymond low. Ref says “Fight!” Joe still gives Raymond time to recover. P.S. Ref was all in the way in the 1st round!
oh man, i'm not gonna say that i'm better or he is not good enough but damn.... i f@cking HATE those "karate" styles ssssso much!!!!!
they were both karate. but i think daniels didn't adjust his point fighting style . stop hopping around trying to score and just box!
+DigitalDel1 isn't Danyels taekwondo?
+jaibo macias daniels is karate valentino was kickboxer
+Daniel Baker or at least that what i thought they said
Those kicks were killing him lil by lil, great strategy. 👍
Wow powerful kicks! He smashed his legs with the low kicks
Great fighters. Great show. Thanks for sharing this video!
I love this fight , beautiful work from joe . Everything just perfect . Them leg kicks certainly did their work and that relentless pressure . Not to mention superior hands
Duke was definitely having flashbacks to his brother Rick Vs Changpuek Kiatsongrit
This guy would take the UFC by storm
They don’t even look like they belong in the same weight class
Wait did they say “later tonight” holy shit these dudes fight multiple times a day
I have seen Daniels in area 47 and Austrian classics...always fit and fast as hell...good fight this both!
Perfect example of how solid basics and staying disciplined beat these flashy guys
I love boxing but how somebody could want to watch boxing or Muay Thai/Kickboxing is insane to me. Such a shame the public isnt catching on to this yet
Valtenllini made Daniels play his game -- false engagement in the first round to get Daniels chasing him and tiring out in the 1st round -- Come 2nd round, Daniels is sloppier and slower, Valtenllini's power and technique quickly overcomes Daniels in the 2nd round. Elevate.
Dude it's like the first round he just sat back and read his opponent and then the second and third round just came out and straight demolished in kid is a beast
I can't wait for Wonderboy vs Till. Muay Thai vs karate is the funnest matchup to watch imo.
Insane that with a 3 inch height difference, he has 3 inches on Daniels in reach. So rare. Def. helped him to get inside.
Muay Thai's sweep kick always does what it does best; putting a stop to elusive opponents.
Ah, so this is how you beat the Machidas and Wonder Boys of combat sports.
Great fight!
Indian liker salute brother.. good Power Full fight...nd Ur training is Very Hard.
Two excellent martial artists both of their styles have strengths and weaknesses, Joe utilised his strengths better and nullified his opponents strengths more effectively. I think Daniels showed huge heart though those keg kicks were hurtful.
This was a classic case of a kickboxer versus a Muaythai fighter. Raymond Daniels is definitely more skilled, he just needs to spend some time in Thailand. Yes this remind me of the movie kickboxer.
