The amount of heart of it takes to finish a fight through injury is a win in itself! Never a loss just a lesson learned🙏🏼 GROW THROUGH WHAT YOU GO THROUGH. On to the next!

[@chrisXDfull]

what u said is totally true, the muay thai judges only like the traditional movesets and unless its at the highest level of competition they dont seem to take it seriously they just score it like its whatevs sadly. Dont take the loss to heart you did great!

[@richard_soon]

Incredible! Excited to see more of your motivational and positive content!

[@IronPriest82]

I just started Muay Thai last month and starting to like it…good job on the fight.

[@EmmanueliAdzoh]

🔥🔥

[@AlejandroGarcia-gy5rd]

Amazing!!! This is just the beginning, maybe a close fight, but I still think the decision should be for you. Congratulations, you are already a winner simply for doing what you love.

[@bouaouichreda6730]

Im Very Excited For The Next Vedios❤️ Big Fan Keeeep Going Dua Hope You recover as soon as possible🙏🏼

[@timothyfreeman97]

Dang, i was actually there that night of your fight. I was on the doors. Well done for stepping in the ring 🙏 🇹🇭

[@mohamedmalik6355]

dua you are such a beauty and a real fighter .....big shouts for you for finishing the fight through injury ..by the way in muay thai fights the scoring depends a lot on the style of fighing and they prefer to be a traditional thai style and movement , defence and blocking and especially clinching with knees and elbows

[@csscott9803]

Excellent video, I hope you put out more of these. ❤💪😁

[@daniellynch654]

Looking forward to this. Welcome go youtube

[@JoeyDeeh]

I have never watched a Muy Thai fight, but with what footage was shown you deffo had the impact shots for sure

[@youssefkarim352]

Love the content, can you drop a video talking about your experience in thailand (specially the muay thai camp you trained in ?)

[@rentem635]

Hey girl I was at this fight night and you definitely won in my eyes! Keen to see more fights from you in the future 😄

[@ddddddddua]

Thank you hun ☺️❤️

[@mattdiesssel]

@@ddddddddua none of your skills would work on the street against a real man you would get destroyed

[@hhhhh-sv2ty]

just wanna say im happy ive found a female inspiration in muay thai :)) ur really cool

[@jimmyc8907]

No shin guards… “it’s really not as bad as ppl make it out to be” I thought the same until my first shin on shin. Then I saw Jesus 😂 Btw love that you made a KZbin channel!

[@joelrusk6412]

I am not sure how much things have changed or if I remember incorrectly. But I feel like sweeps don't count if you fall as well? Might depend on the organization. Over all I feel like you won the second round still, and in a more biased view the third round by fighting through an injury. Beyond impressive. I also imagine that pressure and walking backwards is scored more harshly in Muay Thai. Difficult to be so good at long range attacking but be aggressive I imagine. Really nice kicks and everything, very beautiful technique and quick! I am by no means an elite fighter, but I feel like drilling kicks to straights as you step down and cover distance and/or super man punch type combos would have been deadly here. I get you were trying to frustrate her though, so probably elements to your game plan that I have no clue on haha.

[@10sansari]

Respect 👊🔥

[@unknownentity8256]

Let me just say I'm glad you started youtube :)

[@michaelarmstrong3736]

Just watched you on The Casuals, Brit food sucks btw lol Now about your 1st match, I'm no expert but it seems what cost you the match was you backing up quiet a lot (I only watched it through this vid, can't find it anywhere else). Forward motion or "aggression" scores very highly in most Muay Thai rules compared to other combat sports. So let's say you outsrike your opponent 30-25 but you backed up the majority of the time, there's a high chance you'll lose the round (unless you really beat em up and they're showing visible or significant damage). A good example of this is Rodtang, you'll see that he sometimes get outstrucked but still won the round due to forward motion, especially early on on his career. As for attacks from what I understand the hierarchy goes Kicks

[@AYEONEEIGHT]

Mashallah 😍

[@TelvinKipapa]

Muay Thai is life 👍🏻

[@mastercontender6139]

😂😂 the fight music, I’ve been fantasising what I’d walk out too for years. That would have really gotten to me

[@ddddddddua]

*crying inside* 🥹

[@radoz_fn]

I believe you gonna win

[@noblackk-]

yes , I have more subscribers than dua 😅

[@panick_9550]

Up till the tear I thought you were winning and I hope you recover quickly

[@panick_9550]

Also the weigh in thing was bullshit

[@ddddddddua]

Thank you ☺️🙏

[@radoz_fn]

Keep going champ

[@luisdawnfinder3188]

Don't be afraid to use your TKD. I train Muay Thai but also come from a TKD background as well. There's certainly plenty of kicks that work great with Muay Thai, and if you're good at something never be afraid to make it work for you. That's why martial arts are arts. If you still train, I'd love to see more martial arts content of yours. Well fought!

[@Brandon-up7sg]

Agreed I’m a black belt in karate and I often use karate techniques in Muay Thai and it’s funny because a lot of them get all pissy because I’m hitting them with side kicks, spinning kicks and front hand backfists and they get all upset saying it’s not Muay Thai and my response is always well if I can hit you with it I’m gonna use it it’s not my fault you can’t block it

[@JheMeeMaps]

Whew day 1 team!!!

[@ethanhshaw]

Im ur biggest fan

[@Brandon-up7sg]

Video weigh ins do happen a lot especially if the person is flying in from somewhere . As it’s easier for them to do that then travel

[@unknownentity8256]

Inner thigh knees do not damage indeed and they should be turned and pointed inward to hit with the side of the kneecap at the end to deal significant damage so I'm guessing your opponent never really trained the proper ones and just the safe ones in training, in order to do them right you got to do them properly on the bag and/or pad holder needs to have a bellypad for it. "You train how you fight, and fight how you train." Also would've helped you to do only Muay Thai kicks but I did the same as you in my first fight because I was just fighting instinctually using spinning back kicks and hook kicks couple times in first round but then my coach told me to stop it so I did 😂

[@hampshireconnoly675]

My god you are so beautiful. 😊😊 I have never seen such a beautiful woman as you.

[@cabuud16]

Hello Dua! Can I use 2 of your videos , I make short videos ?

[@stefanos1679]

you train in Thailand?

[@statictech7]

Ignore the judges as an amateur. They are always clueless. You know how you performed, be proud of that.

[@radoz_fn]

Dua:they don't know me son

[@ASMuayThai]

I have my first kickboxing match in a week and I have been training only 2 months

[@ddddddddua]

Nice!! I did my first taekwondo comp after 2 months of training as well and I highly recommend getting comp experience in asap. I didn’t win my first one but it changes your whole mentality towards training and you find yourself progressing much further post-comp. Good luck champ!

[@ninom1503]

It was definitely rigged lol all that matters is how feel about it and what you’ve learned. At the end of the day, life is full of learning lessons that’ll lead us to our own greatness 🙏🏻 You killed it 💯 keep going no matter what

[@MarraraGameQuest]

Oss

[@komissa3674]

you train muay Thai and the way you're beautiful 😂😂😂😂OMG 🤭🤭🤭

[@captainobvious8983]

That sucks you "lost the fight" which you obviously didn't lose. I was in a dance competition and blew quite a few people away and still didn't place cuz the judges liked the energy of the other dances, not the technique so I just had to chop it up to that but don't quit!!!

[@unknownentity8256]

2:32 Definitely not normal and only suggests that she was struggling to sweat off the final grams, or that they'd try to cheat it somehow.

[@GenesisThiago]

😮 gostei a mulher é linda e ainda bate pra car@i 👏👏👏

[@hampshireconnoly675]

Dua i love you and want to marry you.😊

[@rpd7573]

With takedowns if you go down with opponent you dont score any points

[@rpd7573]

When i trained with angie wayne parr at boonchu gym goldcoast she teaches side kicks and said they score.

[@ddddddddua]

I didn’t know that! Thank you :)

[@rpd7573]

@@ddddddddua look forward to seeing you in action again and i agree i thought you won 2-1 😊 🥊
