bro the legs of muay thai fighter. insane to me, i am an amateur as an mma fighter and bro when someone kicks me good at the leg i really feel it for at least one month and even now i am scared to be kicked, i fear chronic injuries. these guys they take 100 of these legs kicks without even flinching they truly made of steel

[@AllAhabNoMoby]

That's what years and years of hardening of the shins will do for you. Even kicking the heavy bag consistently for a prolonged period of time will help.

[@gregcapoccia7062]

He seems to fight similar to Haggerty. I think Superlek is at a whole different level.

[@raprapzandro]

​@@Jinnyjammywhammywhere is superlek? 😂

[@varucasalt9611]

There are a lot of factors when it comes to weight. Bone and muscle density, hydration is taken into account before the fight can commence. Just because the guy is smaller doesn't mean he doesn't weigh as much and using gear would make you more muscularly dense this heavier.

[@remnow]

Guy looks to be taking the Vitor Vitamins as well as being tough as hell. While he looks bigger than everyone his upper legs/thighs are very skinny, if he can survive the leg kicks above the knee for a few more years he has a bright future. I like how he digs to the body, and has some good offensive leg checks to deter non stop kicks. I'll be looking forward to the superlek fight

[@CheloRivera89]

Superlek is going to obliterate this guy, no doubt about it

[@huwhitecavebeast1972]

yea this guy is massive for bantamweight what’s wrong with that if he makes the weight? What about Nabil Anane? Also I dont think he’s really that much bigger than the other guy. Look at his legs, they are clearly smaller than Nong-O’s. We are looking at difference in weight distribution here.

[@terrythornton1549]

These Europeans always do well against lower and mid level/old Thai's. But then they face the elite Thai's and get absolutely destroyed. Their aggression and physical style is their greatest strength on the way up, but it's ends up being their greatest weakness against technicians like Superlek, Tawanchai, Rodtang etc.

[@MrKveite1]

Exept the obv use of gear i didnt really see why he is ready for Superlek but maybe i am wrong............

[@DefiningtheFutureofBoxing]

He has great potential, but I understand your point. It might take more than just gear to be ready for someone like Superlek.

[@huwhitecavebeast1972]

Hard to say if he is on gear or not. I wrestled for 8 years, and lots guys looked like that with no gear whatsoever.

[@MrKveite1]

So it's impossible to be on gear without getting caught, good to know.

[@wolfgangmakamet7353]

I believe if he looks that big and makes the weight. He has low bone density. Like in the first fight, his legs couldn't take the kicks. He obviously can beat Superlek with his boxing but if the Kicking Machine can defend it and light him up with the leg kicks, he gets it done within the distance.

[@huwhitecavebeast1972]

He obviously has high bone density, look at the way he checked kicks. You can't check kicks like that with low bone density. Nong-O is a fantastic kicker and lit him up, and has huge legs.

[@wolfgangmakamet7353]

@huwhitecavebeast1972 you're probably right. I had that thought because I can't see how he makes the weight then baloons up when he fights. He looks big for 64Kgs. Maybe he just has a great rehydration plan. What do I know?🤷‍♂️

[@huwhitecavebeast1972]

@@wolfgangmakamet7353 I seen it a lot as a wrestler. Most wrestlers look like Nico before a match, unless they are heavyweights where there is no upper limit.

[@MrSteveykk]

I don't think he will win against Superlek, his lead leg is an open target for someone that kicks as much as Superlek. He got power but if he can't put him down before his leg crumbles it's all over.

[@linovanmechelen2482]

I agree . He really needs to work on his low kick defense . Superlek kicks more is faster then Nong o . Watch the Anane fight, took out his legs first then KO'd him with a body shot . With Nico he will take out the lead leg first and then the elbows will come in play 🤕😀

[@Alvinstone111]

He is tough and fast with nice footwork, but you can see how he could lose to Superlek. That right hand drops and pulls back every time he starts a technique - even a combination that starts with a stiff jab. He gets away with it in these fights because of his length against these opponents. All it will take is an opponent with a sharp left kick that he can deliver to the head the instant Nico Carrillo pokes out a hard jab. For the same reason, Carrillo was also vulnerable to long left hooks in some of these fights. I could see check hooks and left elbow counters that come down over the shoulder, giving him all sorts of problems when he steps into a combo. If he could spend some time with a technically sharp coach, he could really make some waves, but he will need to work hard on those hand levels first. I do like that he moves his head off the centre line on most hand techniques and how he nullifies the teep with catches and sweeps, but, again, he drops his hands often in the hope of getting the catch and sweep. This leaves him wide open if someone fakes a teep kick and then goes upstairs. He has potential, but unlikely to master Superlek at this stage

[@leglauderobert9401]

In one referee allows the match to continue far too long. When a fighter is too damaged that is not able to defend himself anymore, no need to make him get a knockout. This kind of KOs (when stunned) are serious ; fighters never give up, they have to be protected by the referee.

[@Rubded]

That dude is not an elite pro. He would get washed. However, you can see improvement as he went from tomato can, to cab driver, to Journeyman.

[@strangeman9362]

Not elite pro and yet he already defeated notable Thais haha

[@marcd1981]

Do these guys watch film of other fighters like they do in boxing? If they do, it would seem someone would have taken advantage of the fact he doesn't check kicks very well and takes a beating on that front leg. The first fight shown here showed this, and he could barely stand on his left leg during that fight. He has power in his hands, that's what is saving him so far, but Superlek will beat him when they fight now.

[@redcoat192]

He's tough, but not technical. Superlek will attack his lower legs and immobilise him, then clinically pick him apart.

[@frevels]

No chance for Nico Carrillo right now to beat Superlek. His defense is too wide open, Supelek would hit him so often what his last opponents not do
