18-YEAR-OLD KICKBOXING PHENOM! GLORY 63: Rebekah Irwin v Stephanie Skinner

Rebekah Irwin and Stephanie Skinner go toe to toe at the GLORY 63 SuperFight Series. 2019.02.01

[@apollosun2913]

I like how Skinner blocked all those kicks with her head.

[@a_stone]

The Fairtex school of blocking

[@johndough7160]

God you could see the love in her dads eyes. He is profoundly proud of his kid. 👍😎

[@earthman4222]

Way to go Dad

[@adrient104]

Rebekah Irwin is very skilled, leg game's on point!

[@ericcampbell6261]

But legs only won't win championships. Someone forgot to teach her that your punch power starts in your legs. If you punch from the shoulder your leverage is reduced by sixty percent.

[@drewby613]

"How's Irwin going to handle an opponent that doesn't go away like Stephanie Skinner?"(13:11) That's the big question. By "go away," I'm assuming that he's referring to how Skinner would work her way inside the leg range of Irwin, throw one punch, and then get out of there. Someone who has serious striking skills, who could close the gap quickly then throw a fierce 3 or 4 punch combination would be a real problem for Irwin, and sooner or later, she's going to get knocked down or out, when that happens. That's when it really begins for her. This right here, and her other fights so far have been the honeymoon.

[@cjdelrancho2531]

The height difference really messed up steph

[@clm73]

WOW! only 18 and her skill level is great.Props to both warriors for their display of skill.

[@M4ruta]

Irwin is one of the new promising fighters I desperately want to see more of.

[@Canxervero]

Oh I want to see more alright

[@TheTir1962]

That was a very proud dad there at the end!!

[@jesusreignsforever2561]

Well done to both fighters! Very excellent fight. Irwin had some great knees and legs.

[@damon2772nomad]

What a talented young lady 👏

[@TheWeebs1968]

Put the Brakes on ! PHENOM is a big word, associated with talent rarely seen. This is not that, she’s a kid obviously still very green and learning her craft, with a long long way to go, and I bet she would even say that. If she keeps up the work, she will be truely a great fighter in kick boxing, but she also needs to fight the best to be the best.

[@xxstfubmx]

right im in love with her now and that's a god damn scary legal issue jk but u was expecting style bender level skill cause ya gotta think he debut t that level by not letting ambition get him into MMA before he was a expert striker

[@davestrong4487]

@@xxstfubmx that's not what the op stated. He just pointed out that "phenom" is an over exaggeration. She's really good for sure but not "phenomenal". She's got plenty of years though to become just that.

[@xxstfubmx]

@@davestrong4487 i was just showing other ways ppl route careers to become a phoenom like style bender didn't just start in ufc tho the majority of ppl wouldn't know that and just assume abil,,ity is there from the start shes a beast for sure at 18 and female that's driven shell be one for sure to top mma

[@muddyfalcon]

serious, her face is not mutilated yet, that is the only thing different about her, for now.

[@dschoenfeld9277]

You’re right she definitely needs seasoning perhaps in a few years she can move into the top 10. She needs to learn some defense for example.

[@ManofOneGod]

Gotta love a scrapper. Good fight. There is nothing more cooler and more entertaining than to see a fighter get smashed the fck out and still push forward 💪

[@JoeyT80]

This is amazing

[@ManiacRider3113]

High school Sr. and she can whip the football caption! You go girl!👍

[@antitheist9976]

Irwin is definitely going to be one to watch, she has some serious skills there. A very bright future ahead of her. I doubt she would see this but Congrats on your win 💯

[@JoeBoxerNo1]

Bekah Irwin is a future superstar. She's beautiful.

[@brentsummers7377]

Very good, a 3x IFMA Muay Thai champion, means she has heaps of talent & toughness. Assume that is her father we see at 19:20 & earlier, good camera work capturing the emotion.

[@rbron5848]

Your old website hosted a video of one of Chantal Menard's fights, do you still happen to have it and could you upload it? :)

[@DC-kj3in]

Micromanaging referee needs to give the fighters some space. He was poised to jump in with every punch and kick thrown. Jeesh. A hard fight to watch.

[@siegfriedo]

Give me a MT fight between Bekah Irwing and Marie Ruumet! 💥

[@boblob-law9401]

Hey Glory, have a talk with ONE Championship. We need to see Bekah Irwin vs Marie Ruumet

Lol... Skinner talking all that trash and got taught a lesson.

Kudos to ANY pro fighter for the grind and dedication, but Irwin is PROPPED UP...given EASY FIGHTS...EASY FIGHTS. She also gets favors from the judges.

Irwin’s physique is ridiculous and gonna serve her very well down the road. She’s built like a giraffe and knows how to use every bit of the reach and height advantage that comes with it…

[@ocevicheband502]

Her dad can be proud, kids got fluid style ...

[@realazliving]

What's up with that ref? He called a break pretty much every time a punch landed. Then half ass says fight as he runs back. He was super disruptive of this fight. It would have been a great fight if he wasn't there.

[@1965RonnieP]

So many knockout blows I don't know how Stephanie stayed up

[@douglewis6924]

The Ref is cutting of the ring with good footwork better than Skinner

[@JamesDoylesGarage]

Sucks when the thumb nail shows you who won.

[@noiamhippyman]

With my niece coming up in her teen years, this really hits close. It's like seeing my little baby niece in the ring. But she could beat the absolute crap out of me. Man if you ever want to feel old, just become of fan of fighting and learn the pros ages. lol

[@miesvaillanykyisyytta3252]

In a tiny messy room with no rules or sat down in a car etc. martial arts fly out the window for most part. It's down to strength, ferocity, reach and size. Any seasoned male bodybuilder will take 100% of female fighters in that environment unless they can bite him or do some other 'illegal' maneuver with precision. She could score enough points from a referee to beat a man in her sport but if she were to assault a gym guy she would have to make sure it happened in an environment where he cannot easily overpower her. She needs a stable surface and plenty of space to dance around; also preferably no hard or jagged walls or other surfaces that the stronger person could easily use to their advantage.

[@noiamhippyman]

@@miesvaillanykyisyytta3252 Tell me how fragile you are without meaning too. lmao

[@piet8334]

the girl is 4-7 in mma and just had 1 boxing fight… Never did a kickboxing bout… “Has experience in mma” I feel Joe for trying to make this sound less bad🤣

[@charleshodgdon6168]

Skinner should study Van Soest fights. Tiffany is shorter than many of her opponents and does pretty well.

[@mohammaddavoudian7897]

In a sport like this, "reach" is important. That's where Skinner was at a disadvantage, otherwise, she's a great fighter with vert good technique. Well done to both though.

[@CP-kb1du]

Wonder if Andre Booze Giant would have a issue with these two fighters stepping over the Top Rope .

[@ricknaughty1016]

Got a feeling Bekah likes punching other girls more then pads and bags, go on girl💓 That ref needs to back up a little. Wth he think one of them gunna bring out a shank or sommin he's moving like a jail officer lol

[@rogerfountain2663]

The corner should have told Irwin to work on her left leg. She had a bad right knee. Take out the good leg.

The height difference is ridiculous 🤦🏻‍♀️. Are they even in the same weight class??

[@JD-oe5uc]

They are both 54 kg. They always show the stats in the beginning.

[@pappete9988]

Commenter ended with "she got the win" but was clearly biased toward skinner who never looked any chance of winning.

[@vanishingpoint5561]

Zero tattoos for Irwin. Good for her.

[@badmash5190]

At 2:46 did I hear male born female?

[@alftheredwashere9247]

[@ThinkCriticallyNow]

"Phenom"? You're kidding aren't you? It was an "ok" fight but nothing that would require the word Phenom.

[@patrickmalarkeyanoldirishm646]

Boy I can't believe how much Stephanie looks like a guy wearing a stuffed sports bra. Rebeka's fighting smart with her kicks rather than trying to punch better than the "fellow", so this should be close or decided in her favor. I'm wondering if Rebeka will end this fight with her elbows or a nasty head kick. Well Rebeka you won the decision, please let me recommend the use of that Muay Thai elbow strike that at first looks like a right cross that's going to miss entirely. But forward momentum and a follow up elbow to the jaw or neck, more or less knocks the lights out of your opponent. Best regards for you and the gals back home here in the States!

[@razorsharpsmile]

It'd be scary if she lost and her dad would jump into the ring and took revenge for her daughter's loss...

[@Whowhaaa]

Damn her arms bigger than mine what a badass

[@raul76603]

That ref needs to get out of the way

[@ericcampbell6261]

Well, you knew bekah was gonna win because skinner with her buzz cut. But bekah needs a new coach because she has zero punch power. She needs to learn how to get behind her punch with her legs. She's just flailing from the shoulder out. Skinner has no business even being in a ring.

[@shanelytle8418]

show some talent in pockets for being young, but i dont know who told her it was okay to skip leg day or any type of cardio...at 18 she should be dancing around that ring not laying up sloppy front kicks. Luckily the much smaller fighter didnt have the stamina or reach to counter and lay her flat..

[@louieokamoto8747]

Rebekah is more dangerous when she feels cornered. If she was to fill cornered all the time she would be dangerous all the time.

This is like watching a giraffe fight a hyena with those long legs! Rebekah has a ways to go before being called a phenom!

[@genesisg7022]

I didn't see anything special. She is just tall. I wonder how well she would have done if her opponent were the same height? Luckily, she was just 18, lot of training and improving to do. Congratulations to both fighters

[@cryptoking7093]

She tuckered out way too quickly to be in a ring...

[@michaellovett8773]

A skinny long leg needs to soften with inner thigh strikes. Stephanie scored zero in this area.

[@kevincarpenter3428]

Where was the phenom then? All I saw was a very amateur kickboxing match with average lacklustre kicks.

[@porculizador]

she's only 18 but man she needs to work on many things still: power being number 1. she has none. she's got great leg work, but she only does high and knee kicks. she needs to vary more. skinner was open for kicks to the legs and torso all the time and she didn't take advantage of that. she's too defensive she needs to know how to be more aggressive. throw kicks going forward. good prospect but lots to work on

[@a_stone]

You're about, 3 years late my friend.

(Matthew 16:26) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
