Underdog Destroying GOATS in Muay Thai | Jonathan Haggerty

He proved the world wrong, twice... by taking out 2 GOATS. This is the story of Jonathan Haggerty, the general. It's rare for a fighter with 20 fights to take out legendary champions with 300+ fights. The world didn't believe Haggerty could do it, but he believed it, and then did it.

[@allenyeo]

Yup since his fighting days he is n all rounder in Muay Thai boxing but his punching power is not there yet after he goes up weight he also improved his punching power from his fight with Nong O I predicted he will lose to Nong O maybe bye KO or TKO but I,m so wrong instead he Jonathan KO Nong O,from his striking n his moving up weight I honestly believe if Jonathan n rodtang will have a rematch in Jonathan weight class rodtang will lose the fights maybe KO late rounds 4 or 5 oh my personal perspective of Jonathan now bless him peace cheers

[@prominerz6701]

i had the pleasure of meeting him during a seminar, super genuine guy and way more down to earth than youd expect, he was born in the same county of the uk as me, so its pretty insane having a world champ in my sport training an hour away.

[@LawrenceKenshin]

🔥🔥

[@owenschmowen5313]

Same here I was just thinking about that. It's crazy to me that I live in the same town of Orpington that he grew up in. Trained for a few months at his father's gym Keddles (now known as fordes) and it's just mad to me that I'm training in a world champion gym. Never met him like yourself, I bet he's lovely alike the people who work and attend at the gym.

[@prominerz6701]

@@owenschmowen5313 yeah, real nice guy, Im still relatively a beginner and he was completely understanding to the fact that my flexibility, speed and etc was not up to his, for example at the time I couldn't head kick very well with my left leg, so he personally showed me a different combo. Really good teacher.

[@LawrenceKenshin]

yessss

[@musashidanmcgrath]

It's like Haggerty just downloaded Muay Thai Matrix style. To have that level of Muay Thai technical knowledge and such a high level Muay Thai fight IQ with only 20-odd fights, and especially as a non-Thai, is absolutely mind-blowing. He fights like a native Thai with 200+ fights. It's unbelievable to watch.

[@vincedgarvlogs]

Because white people are genetically stronger than Asians

[@Irrelevant66]

That’s one of the benefits of the internet, there’s a lot of awful shit on the internet but having blogs and videos and breakdowns and articles and step by steps that if you have the mind and willingness you have access to everything. You don’t have to figure things out the slow or hardest way until it’s time to fight

[@Bruce4lmighty]

Haggerty is seemingly much more comfortable and powerful with the additional weight afforded from the move to bantamweight. He was/is technically superb so when more power and durability is added, he really is a formidable opponent. Great video 👍🏻

[@LawrenceKenshin]

Great point!

[@jamesojohnson467]

The man is a beast at this weight.

[@Lev0702]

Defeating Nong-O was such an impressive victory for Jonathan Haggerty. He cemented himself as a Legend. Heartbroken for Nong-O tho, such an incredible Champion and seeing him get finished like that was tough. 🙏

[@mytube9182]

I saw a lot of comments here that sought for our soreness when our fighter lost to a farang fighter. That's wrong ! We're already happy world people like Muay Thai and we're actually looking forward to a farang fighter who's really good and honest to Muay Thai among tons of 'contaminated' fighters who just self-branded MT for own benefits. Winning our GOATs doesn't mind as long as he's honest and doesn't just impersonate MT as other martial art for own promotion like many world fighters do. Jonathan Haggerty is true to MT, his style is authentic, we respect him for that and he's really good with demeanor.

[@JamesDavisakaRemguy]

It's like watching the Japanese excel in Baseball as an American, or, here in Canada, seeing any other country beat us at our own sport, Hockey. But, at the end of the day, it's all about who played or fought better. No matter who you are, you have to respect that. Your comment is very wise, thank you for leaving it!

One is lilttle different then the traditional muay thai.. its strait 3 rds since the gloves are 6oz .. save fighters health for longevity.. muay thai uses 8oz padded.. best ever westerner is an overstatement, cause there has been many pass great westerners that has pave the way for haggerty.. i can name 2 hand fulls an has fought in more tougher era then haggerty To me i feel like nong-o couldv brought more to the table in that fight, he looked too flat footed to get knocked out like that an way too smart to allow him to get knocked out , he isnt the greatest westerner just my opinion Obviously the next bout will be haggerty vs rodtang or superlek its rigged for viewers

JH is for sure one of the most technical Muai Thai fighters. I must have seen his fights with Rodtang more than 20 times, it's always pleasure to see 2 legends fight. I knew JH will bounce back and he did. This video shows the details of the fall and rise of the legend.

[@milesy2k7]

People forget before he fought Sam-a he fought a prime Superlek with 12 fights and done really well until it got stopped by a cut

[@noknownthrone2487]

I think I caught on to him when he fought Joseph Lasiri, and when I saw the display of elbows, I was immediately hooked. What beauty they are for sure! And the intent put behind the strikes is really something to watch.

I've watched Johnathan fight for a while in ONE CHAMPIONSHIP. I wanted to see him win but Rodtang was impossible to get past. Then the fight with Nong O was shocking ! I would like to see him fight Rodtang a third time for redemption. Great video

[@jjstratford]

I’m not sure, but Rodtang may compete in the next division down, right? If so, I think Haggerty is too drained at flyweight. He is the best version of himself at BW.

[@BjorkensteinvanJurgenheim]

Maybe in a catchweight fight with Rodtang and Haggerty meeting in the middle. Weight management for Haggerty at Rodtang's division is unbelievably brutal.
