Beat RODTANG! Superlek's Elite Kicks & Counters Explained

[@shinomori69]

I absolutely would love a long form breakdown of Superlek vs Rodtang.

[@MasterMordred]

Yeah that fight was total war!

[@jonaschable8604]

Hy me too

[@jenkie1459]

Yes

[@davidblum8349]

Yes please!

[@bl-nb8fo]

You'd need people who actually understand muay thai which is few aince it's still new to many in the West

[@richardmcallister460]

Oh I absolutely want the breakdown from that Superlek vs Rodtang fight - it's one of my favorites in all combat sports.

[@ctrlawpdelete8266]

Fax need that

[@arrownibent5980]

Everything from his amazing balance to his very active framing of opponents to keep them off balance mid combination is bewildering to watch, it's like watching a fighter switch from sumo fundamentals to violent striking in the blink of an eye. I'm glad to see him succeed with such a commited style, it's honestly a sight to behold

[@maxryan186]

a full break-down between Rodtang and Superlek would be awesome, both of these guys are super smart and a disection of the fight can't be anything short of insane

[@wizardofnothing9418]

Yes break down that fight!

[@cookie_tv3719]

Didnt watch yet but i already know its a banger video.

[@garbour456]

Ah man, I really hope you don't retire the channel. This shit is awesome

[@neonhill1595]

Can you do more golden age muay thai fighters? Like karuhat!

[@JesusSanchez-o7h]

Please do a break down on that fight its amazing

[@joostfloot5279]

Videos like these make me love martial arts and fighting even more than I already do! Martial arts are where physics, biology and psychology meet!

[@theterminator9293]

Having to censor superlek because of a cut is crazy, KZbin censorship is getting out of hand

[@jasonellis9777]

Wow!!! Look at the cut that up elbow did…😬. That could have been game over.

[@noahstewart6181]

Fantastic video, would love a full breakdown of that fight :)

[@timephire]

1:04 He had dude playing Hopscotch!

[@iswitchedsidesforthiscat]

I love that the thumbnail is a reference to Killer Instinct.

[@TheModernMartialArtist]

Had to change it but loved that game on the Play Station (I think).

[@yasielromero8236]

​@@TheModernMartialArtist Super Nintendo and Nintendo 64 , love you videos, definitely do a breakdown video of their fight 🙏🏽

[@bobbyboy900]

Loved the sections at 5:42 about using constant controls/traps after striking and before striking to set them up. Although from a different sport, mayweather and duran also use a similar form of control/trapping to set up their punches. Mayweather uses a lot of hand traps, head control, and framing with the forearm to stop punches and off balance in order to keep him safe after and before initiating offence. Duran uses a lot of elbow, shoulder, & bicep traps, and guard manipulation to reduce the impact of punches(or stop punches), off balance the opponent, and to open up the guard for more offence(also uses frames sometimes). Both also use the jab consistently to pin the arm/glove, blind, and occupy the guard in order to set up offence or to close the distance with more safety. Of course both use tactics from each other and some tactics more than the other. All this to say that constant disruption through controls, trapping, and guard manipulation is extremely important to stay safe when pressure fighting and fighting in general. Most likely, you're not going to be able to react to every strike with a block, slip, roll, or pull. So, using more preventative measures through proactive disruptions like controls, trapping, and guard manipulation is extremely important.

[@CosetteTape]

I dont want that breakdown, I NEED IT!!

[@legion162]

From the thumbnail I wonder how many people remember c-c-c-combo breaker from Killer Instinct on the snes, god I feel old remembering 😂😂

[@ifgwelf]

Got a copy of the all black cartridge still.

[@legion162]

@@ifgwelf don't remember what colour cartridge, but I'm certain the version I got came bundled with a music CD, I played bits and pieces, or samples when I was being a DJ, or maybe it was another game, after all was probably around 30 years ago 😂

[@cricedaking1]

I hear it play in my head EVERYTIME!!!!

[@robertfeiner7409]

I remember playing in the arcades in ‘94. Straight up fav fighting game. For sure those elbows count as an awesome cccccccccombo breaker 😊

[@chummyboy9041]

No he change the thumbnail we shall riot

[@madd_ish1]

i like the killer instinct reference in the thumbnail

[@334nickg]

Always happy to watch them right when they are released

[@adambulmash6880]

Love your stuff. Absolutely want to see a longer breakdown of Superlek vs Rodtang. Also you should look up Samkor Kiatmontep. He was the progenitor of Superlek/Rodtang/Buakaw. In fact he trained Buakaw himself. He was a dominant fighter in the Golden Era of Muay Thai. He fought and beat all of the greats of that era multiple times, including Namsaknoi, Karuhat, Wangchannoi, and Saenchai (yes, that Saenchai). And he did it all just with his left kick. He'd just kick you endlessly, with legs like a pair of baseball bats--and there was nothing you could do to stop him. One of the greatest kickers in combat sports history. There's plenty of footage of him on KZbin, and I think Sylvie of 8LimbsUS has spoken with him. I'd love to see a breakdown of just how he was able to dominate in the Golden Era with just his left kick, and how his style echoes thru those of Buakaw, Rodtang, and Superlek...

[@RONN133]

another modern martial artists banger breakdown and its on superlek!?

[@daiblaze1396]

Happy to finally find a fighter that I can relate too. I'm totally amateur of Muay Thai, training at home for the love of the sport and body mechanics. The more I practice, the more I can see I would lean towards offense more naturally. Thanks for the initiation. I would seek for more! Would absolutely love to see the breakdown against Rodtang.

[@chrisf9607]

Full break down please

[@vectorle]

panpayak is the only man in the world that can stand with him

[@yolodojo]

yep they have fought like 8 times 4-4 i think

[@cwillar1]

Full breakdown for sure!!

[@aaronjohn6586]

The insights you give are like those of Sun Tzu, not just about fighting but life as well

[@TheModernMartialArtist]

Definitely too high of praise haha But I do appreciate it and I'm happy people like the bits of philosophy I add here or there.

[@KatonRyu]

I absolutely want to see a full breakdown of a fight like that. I'm not that familiar with Muay Thai, but even I know the names Rodtang and Superlek.

[@MasterMordred]

David you're the best! Thanks!!!!!

[@texmuaythai]

Please do a full breakdown of Superlek vs Rodtang

[@JohnBradt-GuitarMan]

Full Breakdown Please 👍

[@hamzasanyang666]

Yes full breakdown would be awesome

[@okeynwachie]

Full breakdown in the future? YES.

[@tweediestdig7847]

9:09 I really hate that rodtang "knockdown", esspecially considering it arguably cost him the fight. If you look at other angles, you will see that both the elbow and the knee actually missed his head. In reality, he simply tripped or got shoved to the ground.

[@cjgmb83]

That elbow landed clean on his nose and was a knockdown. Even without it, Superlek clearly won rounds 2 and 3

[@4n6]

I would love a long breakdown!!!

[@hrekila002]

Mate, if you retire without doing a long form breakdown of Superlke vs Rodtang, that is going to be your green goblin mask everytime you open up a computer or any other screen. Another fab video though

[@randybowman]

How would you deal with the wrist controls like that? Full breakdown please!

[@bastianjunemann5658]

Oh yes full breakdown please!

[@manojkumar.r.pandey2423]

Rodtang vs superlek breakdown 💯

[@willmc6728]

could you do a history of surinamese kickboxers as a whole. wiet thru to eersel (with a little bit of hoost, technically surinamese)

I waited so long for this moment❤❤❤

Can you do saenchi???

Yes I can!

[@TheHouseCommunity]

Absolutley love your breakdowns. Please do a breakdown of Yuki Yoza 🎉

[@paaome]

One thing you didn't mention about him was he never get knock out for the past 20 years in every MT rule.

[@shooby117]

iirc superlek was also 4 lbs overweight for his rodtang fight. Not sure if that made a difference considering he probably wasnt as drained as rodtang from the weight cut

[@cooljosiahh417]

I would love it if you could please do a style breakdown on Paul Williams!🙏

[@zylumite]

I think Superlek was mostly a backfoot fighter for majority of his career. He only turned into an aggressive pressure fighter after he came to ONE, primarily because ONE rule set favours aggression. So, that means he is a very adaptable fighter. Same for Nong O.

[@TheModernMartialArtist]

From memory he always seemed to be a front foot fighter who was also really great at moving backwards all the same, but it's been a while since I watched a full fight of his that wasn't at ONE so very possible you're right!

[@zylumite]

@@TheModernMartialArtist I guess it depends on the opponent. I have mostly seen his fights against punchers and clinchers, where he was primarily on the backfoot. Maybe against other technicians he might choose to be aggressive.

[@holywarrior96]

Please do Holyfield's game plan in his 1st fight with Tyson. There are just too many sheep fans that actually think The Real Deal spent the entire fight holding and headbutting his way to victory.

[@anselmobarker1946]

Could you do a breakdown on Donovan Weisse and Chingz Allazov?

[@stonewallXVI]

Is he back?! Missed this channel

[@mendiola896]

I know you have a Langsuan breakdown, but i was wondering if you could do a breakdown of someone from the same gym as him, Anantasak. His range control, powerful boxing, and brutal elbows are a work of art.

[@rafaelvazquezcanale1759]

it would be cool if you did a breakdown of James Toeny vs Mike McCallum! theres like a 1000 things to explain.

[@superfisto]

yes do the breakdown

[@ericg9327]

Break down rotang vs super

[@mrfarax4944]

Absolutly want the full breakdown please

[@fakasi]

Can you do a breakdown on Manson Gibson plz?

[@gorillaguerillaDK]

Superlek isn’t a "machine", he’s the embodiment of a KICK!

[@universesaiyan6490]

Will you ever do an aaron pryor breakdown?

[@youragronk6208]

Finishing off the vid with a hint of mighty mouse had me feeling like I missed out on the grand final

[@shortyyazzie]

I spent the first two minutes of this video thinking he was named "Super Legs".

[@conanbdetective]

Gotta be Halloween after watching Big George do the Mummy and now there's a new one doing the Mummy.

[@jamielondon6436]

Not too thrilled about the blurring out. Is this something YT is doing or forcing its creators to do?

[@germankaisereichball4145]

Can u do a breakdown on donavan wisse?

[@AgarioSplitrunner]

Superlek rarely meets the weight cut. Was he 5kg heavier in this fight? Is that 5 weight classes higher? It's unheard of in professional fighting

[@JamoyMckoy-wn4ck]

Rodtank is a unstoppobble tank

Please don't close the channel sir 🙏🏼 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😢

Panpayak and Superlek are amazing yod muay, nobody in the world but especially in ONE comes close.

Moreeeeeeee

[@getlostlser]

I actually though Rodtang won that fight

[@MartiniBlankontherest]

Not a fan of the blurring over bloody faces. I get it's to save a shadow ban. Going black'n white is often enough.

[@blacked8043]

GIVE US THE BREAKDOWN

[@jovanleon7]

He's great, but he missed weight by a lot when he beat Rodtang he had to apologise. That means he had more significant advantage than using PED over Rodtang.

[@solbadguy7775]

Dustin poirier vid?

[@snakethepeg7828]

He doesn't do UFC coz theyre ridiculous with copyright

[@j.pershing2197]

Hey. Why dont you get some fighters on to talk man!??

[@WatermelonPeople-t8c]

fixed fight rodtang won outright and was robed! ONE is pathetic for this. Rodtang won anyone that says differently is lying.

[@KevinMartinez-]

Hahaha You know what's the most amusing part from you uneducated casual Rodtang fanboys are... here you are whining and complaining "robbery", ("judging" a Muay Thai fight) haha when you don't the simple basic beginner rules and how the point system is scored in a Muay Thai fight. Hahaha That makes a whole lot of sense. Just to prove my point you're an uneducated casual. I will ask you a simple basic beginner question, (even though I already know you will get it wrong) so hopefully you man up by answering the question compared to other uneducated casuals who refuse to answer. What scores the most points and how is it scored in a Muay Thai fight?

[@willyword3413]

Bro its said as Loompeeniii. Not Lumpee lol ....... Lumpini

[@n1mand]

His Name is "Superlek", what did we expect?:D

[@AKAMMArduk]

That level of censoring is too much 😑

[@sshy153]

He lost to rodtang, tbh.

[@HumanAki]

FULL BREAK DOWN BUTTON 👇

[@retromurdok]

I still think rodtang won that fight. Edit - in fact one of the reasons i lost interest in One is because how obviously corrupt it is.

[@tplayer23424]

He would beat samart

[@TheModernMartialArtist]

Woah buddy you're trying to start an argument in the comment section and I'm looking forward to it lol

[@djamillakhdar-hamina3824]

Lump -inee lol. Not how you say it.
