Fighting 21 Year Old Champion In China | Full Fight w/ Commentary

Sometimes styles don't work well together. I felt like that in this fight.
My opponent tried to trick me by changing his stance and fighting in an unorthodox way.
It made the fight messy but I still got the win.

Remember to check out this fight: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZOqpoxppbacfKM It was an enormous amount of pressure fighting from me and exciting to watch.

[@joshkoh5143]

The martial art Gabriel was referring to is called Sanda/SanShou or wushu ,I think it would work very well with Karate Combat rule set as it has alot of throws , would love to see a reaction video on Sanda especially with the throws

[@user-qv4fp9vm8u]

Sanda is really cool but idk if you can really use it to its fullest without elbows

[@hungniirulfur920]

@@user-qv4fp9vm8u yup,but with takedowns they dont really use elbows a lot even though the style teaches them

[@swekiwi4517]

You are such an inspiration Gabriel. Especially your technicality and foremost, your humbleness. That is why I keep going back to your channel. I hope to see more of your sparring videos. Think I've only seen one - which I've downloaded and rewatched to be able to slow it down to see exactly what your doing so successfully. Thank you for this treat today! 🍬

[@jamielondon6436]

The local champ being favoured is a big trope, of course, but at least it looks like in this fight the referee was pretty fair.

[@jhgfjjghjf4297]

I just LOVE this kind of videos where you comentate on fights!! It was a great fight you fought superbly against a young up and coming lion

[@jjun2891]

Wow, the tempo in round 3 was nuts! Also I loved the ring work around 12:00

[@jaysnoddonfight979]

12:02 Love that exchange. After pulling with the uppercut, Gabriel slips past his straight and completely reverses position so his opponent is now the one on the ropes. Gorgeous!

[@neverstopmovingforwardfitn7277]

I remember when I first became a fan of Gabriel and I started looking for his fights in glory. This one just showed up and it was a good one

[@GridIndustries]

I think this was a good fight to watch! You did really well, but he's definitely a tough dude also.

[@TheNadohs]

That body work between around 30-40 seconds from the end of the 1st round was so clean and really hurt him. You can see his poker face crack just for a split second and when he throws a counter kick you can tell that it effected him from the way he threw it.

[@MatadorM9]

Interesting fight and I like how you always keep things honest and admit it’s not as good as you expected. I guess the tactic to change fighting style had some level of success for the Chinese fighter but you still overcame and came out victorious, and with some nice counters too.

[@yassineljazouli38]

Hello Mr varga, i really enjoyed the video I and I think you sould be auploading such videos from time to time. it just shows how much time and effort it takes to improve and become a world champion.

[@justink1694]

thanks G fighting and breaking down is double value much appreciated

[@bongosock]

I agree about catches and throws - also makes for a great spectacle as well :)

[@GoodGame-du4ps]

The way that dude just ate your headkick at the end just goes to show how durable he was.

[@sankalpX10]

The work rate you put in all 3 rounds is the real champ calibre!! You inspire us Gabe! 👑❤️

[@varunphartyal9048]

Such a good breakdown man!!👌

[@blackdog7275]

Love watching you fight!

[@twistedcoffee1187]

It's such a shame that strategies after clinchings are mostly faded in kickboxing. It should exist just in my opinion though. Nevertheless the restriction, your match is always exhiliarating and makes my day. Thank you for sharing us great inspiration.

[@KentRoads]

Awesome stuff, well done :D

[@emacvlogs5492]

Congratulations sir!

[@toneysalas]

I’m not sure if you’ve done a video on this before; but it would be cool to hear about your experience with dealing with jet lag, and fighting over seas. Tactics you’re willing to share and maybe your first time competing with jet lag

[@lady_draguliana784]

10:07 if you're not a big slipper are you a smaller one? or are you more of a flipflop? maybe a sandal? 😙

[@voiceoverandmocapguy]

That hoodie vest from walk-in was badass! Where did you get it? Custom? I love these breakdowns where you're able to tell us what the opponent was trying to do and how you countered

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Yes. That was custom.

[@voiceoverandmocapguy]

@@GabrielVargaOfficial So awesome, looks badass. Also not related, but would love to see more sparring collabs with you and Stephen Thompson together. I believe your dad mentioned in a comment Wonderboy couldn't make it to the recent youtube session. Love your content and all the intricate techniques you teach!

[@MrKryhaish]

Good fight and Love the mullet ;)

[@richardchristy5408]

Is it common for the opposite corner to give you water at the end? How did he indicate he wanted to hydrate you?

[@davidlam4513]

Hey Gabriel, love your videos! Will you be breaking down akimoto vs petchtanong?

[@NeoEngineCorp]

1:20 Too relatable

[@Veera8124_]

Congratulations coach

[@MM-co3gl]

At the end you mention you know some tricks for international fights and how to deal with jetlags, could you do a video about it? Thank you!

[@ElDrHouse2010]

extremely good fight

[@constandinosk.3251]

Hey Daniel, I hope you are well! Could you make a videos about massage before a fight? How many days ago should we do it etc. Your videos are gold btw!💪🏻

[@urantia64]

lol.. nobody is cheering for me. but i will bet for you all day. superb technique. wish i was younger and figth like you.

[@ChocolateMilkCultLeader]

Thanks for sharing

[@AnotherMotorist]

Gabriel my man! Do you feel stronger/faster younger or later or when did you feel that your strength/speed plateau? Perhaps speed/power keeps increasing but recovery is slower. I'm 34 now and recovery seems trash but could be the caffeine not promoting the best sleep even though I cut my intake 12 hours before sleep. I do use a supplement that has magnesium in it for sleep if I really need it. Relatable question to the age disparity i think.

[@dezzelmoney]

I don't know what you meant about sloppy Gabriel, but this fight was solid.

[@SonOftheBattleCry]

The wushu style of Chinese kickboxers is always very smooth

[@tiagomartins6674]

hey champ, boxing matches are 12 rounds and kickboxing just 3. if you need tou have a great cardio to keep the pace in kickboxing it means that in boxing you need to have a much better cardio right?

[@ilja7708]

depends, cause normally in boxing the pace is much slower than in kickboxing plus kicking takes more cardio than punching

[@GabrielVargaOfficial]

Keep in mind kickboxing is often more tiring as the pace is faster and using your legs is more exhausting. But you do need better long cardio for boxing. That's why it's important to run 10km if you have a world title boxing fight. Not so important in kickboxing. Sprints are better.

[@vishnu2407]

As someone who's trained boxing alone as well, yes, you do need superb cardio for boxing, but kicking exhausts you insanely fast. Not only that, you have to be prepared for way harder shots because let's be honest, kicks hit harder than punches. Then again, i will say this. Sport -specific cardio is very real. If an mma fighter or kickboxer fights a 12 round boxing match, they will tire out way quicker than someone who has been training for boxing alone. same goes for a boxer going into kickboxing. I feel like mma fighters would fare better in kickboxing though, but i wouldn't know enough about that lol

[@tiagomartins6674]

@@vishnu2407 yeah i agree 100% thanks

anyone know where to watch this promotion online?

You could check alternative sights like youtube that are in China. I don't know how else to watch them.

Great clip..

[@MuayThaiGuide]

Hello, I have a question you don‘t have to answer: Getting promotions like this, did you (or your team) always try to contact them first and ask if they wanted you to fight? Or do you get their attention by just fighting and winning many Championships? 😊 Ps: Your video about managing the nervousness before the fight helped me to cope with it and get a win at Lumpinee Stadium in Bkk last month!!

[@godtheartist2906]

[@matthewlindley7745]

hi gabriel ,i’m a taekwondo wt fighter and i have to get down to 68kg (currently weighting 69.6) for Saturday should i be worried or do you have any tips for last minute cutting?

[@batgwill]

(im presuming with this answer that you arent already cutting water, and are just dieting) the first few pounds of water usually come off much more easily, ask your local wrestling coach how to cut 1.5 kilos and you will probably make it without too much trouble. I’ve cut small amounts of weight like that for jiujitsu tournaments, It was not hard and the effects were minimal
