What was really impressive about that fight was that Valtellini gave all he got at the end trying to win and finish the fight , not just stand and wait for the judges' decision. As a Nieky Holzkien fan I can say that this was awesome battle and Valtellini is also a winner in the fans' eyes !!!!

[@billiamssmithfield8804]

Valtellini said on JRE that the knockdown that ended the fight had him concussed and unable to see any light for six weeks. Claimed that the doctors prescribed him all sorts of pain medication and muscle relaxers. He goes on to explain that he switched to CBD oil for inflammation and it helped him a lot. what a great fight.

[@BallersMixed]

great fight for sure. But on JRE he wasn't talking about this fight he was talking about the fight he won the championship in. After the fight Joe won the championship in he had all those issued and used CBD oil for recovery not this fight

[@Jim2529]

I've never seen a fighter with such a heart and guts as Valtellini

[@Harley717]

I dont know how the fuck Holzken took those leg kicks.

Dutch kickboxing. If you're an athlete who rose in that scene, you've literally been introduced to them extensively even before your first fight. Nobody makes it to A class, much less the world stage, without developing blocking and leg endurance.

[@alexhoward1884]

@Blah b I couldn't agree more. Dutch kickboxers are notorious for their brutal sparring sessions. They blast each other with full power leg kicks everyday. That's why Joe Valtellini's low kick game which is usually crazy effective did not work here.

[@jamrockk331]

Blah b o

[@jt______]

Great heart showed by Valtelini, this fight was incredible. Huge respect to both fighters

[@mateuszwalczyk1443]

[@alexhoward1884]

Kickboxing tournaments are unnecessarily dangerous. The fighters go into the second fights dehydrated and concussed. The second fight is also not an reliable way to compare the skill of the fighters as they both just had wars with two completely different opponents.

[@Fallenmark]

mjstecyk you have zero business acumen my friend. Fan support and viewership is one of the biggest factors in athlete pay. The bigger the cake the bigger your piece of the cake will be. Also, what sports are you comparing “fighting” to? If you compare MMA organizations across the board there aren’t big pay discrepancies amongst the top. The UFC holds the biggest market value in this oligopoly despite not paying fighters the highest. This tells you fighters consciously choose where to fight and prefer legacy and prestige over pay and sponsorships.

[@MAYH3M0NE]

As someone who has trained Muay Thai since I was a child, the idea of not using elbows and the clinch is still fascinating to me. I suppose it makes things more interesting for the crowd, but I will never understand why Glory allows knees and not elbows.

[@victortorres7851]

MAYH3M0NE maybe because elbows lead to more cuts and fights can be ended more often due to blood rather than extended action. also notice when the knees are fired there is not much clinch maybe a quick head pull to aim the technique but no legit clinch work. it's really to produce fights like this where there is much more action at a quicker pace to keep fans interested. I appreciate it for what it is, if you want knees dumps vicious elbows and clinch work (which are awesome) watch Muay Thai. if you want Dutch style kickboxing and power combinations watch Glory (and maybe classic k-1)

I absolutely have no ideas to deal with leg kicks. I can parry slip roll lean back from boxing combo cus I train boxing for years.
