[@elbow6380]

hahah '' New yorks greatest muay thai fighters'' really vice come one.. its ok to hype your videos but this is just disrespectfull to all the amateurs in new york who would wreck thiese guys pretty easy

[@elbow6380]

Yeah and thats why American muay thai looks like it does really..If people are getting trained by guys like this there is no hope

[@elbow6380]

i know man im being a little harsh,, thats what im saying tho there are a bunch of amateur fighters in usa and even in new york that would wipe the floor with these guys

[@mrniceshoes2118]

Its probably just the editing but it looks like Arron had like a year of Muay Thai at best

[@COACH_ANTHONY_MMA]

You are generous to have given him that much time. I have a 13 year old student that will put him to shame.

[@Oscarfl009]

What kind of a man leaves his dog?

[@jnick1909]

The same kind that walks out of the ring before the decision like a sore ass loser.

[@jbarral6509]

[@Randomtalking1000]

I think the reason Aaron lost was because he tried doing it all on his own. It's Admirable but Joe was working with other top fighters, people he considers friends and family who are constantly forcing him to get better. It isn't just about finding the drive within yourself to fight, it's about ultimately accepting that you are only going to get so good on your own. Your team and family is what is gonna push yourself past your own limits and fears because you are no longer fighting for just you; you're fighting for something bigger than yourself.

[@LeeJCander]

Much like the reason why Goku beats Vegeta

[@Awakenedblue]

Renzo guy was on PEDs. Thats why he won. Cheated.

[@ahmadqasim1043]

That's somewhat obvious, but if you didn't bring it up I wouldn't have caught on that as much.

[@alexandrakl]

You lost me at "I left my dog".

[@bostaff3067]

i could never leave my dog i know one day he'll get old and leave me all alone so now i spend every minute with him i rescued him from a bad life and we've never looked back. he's so gentle with my children and we all love him. It's wrong to leave your dog they are pack animals and your part of the pack

[@stephenacrisius5831]

All these butt hurts about a dog. Seems like buddy found more inner peace than fighting desire . The man did accept the challenge , respect that .

[@kinhankimhan]

รู้สึกประทับใจตอนที่สวมมงคล ถอดมงคล ไหว้ครู ไหว้เวที เพราะนั่นแสดงให้เห็นว่านี่คือมวยไทยแท้ๆ

[@dsussman]

I'm sorry, I was there & Fisher did not want to fight. Joe was there to fight. Respect to both guys, but that's the truth of it.

[@darthclone7]

That's what it seemed like even during the interview, he was even surprised as to why he was challenged

[@TitusLivy777]

I just found your channel, and I love it! Super high production values and great story telling. Thanks for producing these vids!!!

[@billyfletcher9388]

BABBALOZA coban himself is a bad ass but its not suck a fighters gym honestly

[@NAKMEEZY]

Cobans gum kinda sucked when I trained there in 2012 maybe better now

[@tnmg_muaythai]

He doesn't train fighters. Cool if you want to just go and learn, won't get you fights. "Thailand they pay you, America you pay"

[@dylanb2086]

Very true. Literally light years beyond them. World class - with a legacy. These are just solid amateurs ( literally )

[@karatechris6610]

What I would say is this, you get different kinds of trainers. Those who train alongside their fighters, or maybe in between the classes, and those who keep fit but are imparting their knowledge. Clearly Aaron was the latter, especially for the fact that Joe was the one who initiated the fight. You just have to look at their bodies in the video. He took it because he was a proud warrior but obviously hadn't been training to fight. My point being is, just because you get out of fighting shape doesn't mean you don't know how to teach how to fight. Bragging rights for sure, but if I was him I would have asked for more training time and gone out to Thailand for 6 weeks to get properly ready. Anyway, respect to both guys. They both look knowledgeable and Joe was cool about it.

[@Awakenedblue]

Renzo guy is obviously on PEDs. Cheater. Obviously. Id bet on it.

[@dylanb2086]

I agree. Also how old is Aaron? Started at 26 and 14 years of doing it so like 40? Joe seemed to just have wayyy more fitness and strength

[@user-og2fs3ow4p]

Wow, I'm glad you guys like and rehearse. The struggle that has taken place since ancient times. I practiced since childhood. Because most children in Thailand are taught martial arts from adults. Muay Thai is a very dangerous fight. Some are officially suspended. May be harmful to life # from Thailand

[@MrJmoney1984]

Trained under Aaron and this guy is very knowledgeable about Muay Thai. Although I never trained under Joe, I hear he is also knowledgeable as well. These guys are the real deal.

[@MrJmoney1984]

***** I'm there with you man. I hated reading the comments so I had to say something. See you at Kings real soon!

[@Skorzeny00]

MrJmoney1984 All these idiots have to do is Google Aaron and he has a Highlight Reel on KZbin too.. Age catches up on all of us, also our hearts and mind sometimes are NOT in the same place they were years ago.. Respect to ALL who climb the Ropes to the squared Circle..

[@lild1876]

I've trained at kings as well, don't let these comments get to you. we know the people who train the least talk the most. Aaron said it himself he's still learning and still getting better.

[@jackbower2204]

I know this was a few years back, but don't take these comments serious. Anybody talking shit has never trained muay thai in his life, and would go cry to their mommy if they ate one kick from either of them. They are both very good at muay thai, only trained under Aaron for a little, but I remember seeing him kick the bag, shit was scary.

At the end of the day its about the Art, the sport. Its not, or should never be personal. We put our blood, sweat and soul into this. Its 1 love

[@brianscraper7433]

So much respect shown throughout this process then left before the results were read?? It sucks, but you gotta see it through to the end.

[@JS-qc1xs]

Guys, they seem like good knowledgeable coaches. For another authentic experience from real nak muays in NYC consider Cobans Thai camp. Living legend with mountains of fight IQ. (And he has four beautiful dogs)

[@soothingplace7201]

พวกคุณสนใจมายไทยและเรียนรู้รายละเอียดต่างๆ อย่างเคารพ ชื่นชมครับ

[@tommangu9940]

Respect to both fighters, alot of added pressure when your the head coah of a team

[@AG98125]

the song is 'One More Lonely Night (Without Your love)'

[@tclass99]

Seems like the most difficult thing for "western" fighters to take from TRUE Muay Thai is that there is no ego involved..... you train hard... and sometimes you win... and sometimes you lose.... that's the game.

[@spikeboy101]

Absolutely. Zero ego in true muay thai. That's why they can train you so hard, throw you down, be hard on you, and you know that's just how it is and you get back up. Losing is a universal theme, it's not personal. Zero ego makes you lose and unaffected at all, unbreakable.

[@brandonm3750]

I want that eat sleep teep shirt though

[@Lortenerfrisk]

Says DRINK.. Maybe why he lost.

[@chomama77]

Gayest Thai fight ever. Trainer leaves the ring cuz he lost. Looked like he was scared to be hit. Looks like membership is about to drop. Not a good representation of the sport

[@yutubee2]

It is common and almost custom in Thailand that if one of the fighters know they lost, they pay their respects and go straight to the locker. It's not seen as anything bad. Also if it's the last round and one of the fighters know they lost, the loser makes it known to their opponent that they wont fight and both just circle around and don't throw any shots. Also not disrespectful.

[@COACH_ANTHONY_MMA]

So disrespectful to leave before the announcement.

[@studs69jb]

On a side note. cant expect much from someone who leaves his dog behind. leave your girl thats ok I guess but your dog??? No loyalty to the dog what do you think you are going to get being a human? Ok you lost, suck it up. Show respect stay till the end. Dont be a sore loser. No respect

[@beyondtheimage]

totally agreed! He should have stayed til the end. another thing is he said that he trained for 15 years but his physical appearance looks like he just started training.

[@HarryManback0]

FreedomFromFear Looks like he's in decent shape to me, you can never judge a fighter by appearances anyway. I've trained muay thai with guys who are stick thin with very little muscle mass that are killers, and guys with big guts that look out of shape but have insane cardio.

[@jackbower2204]

exactly, anybody who talks like that dummy freedomfromfear shows he has never train muay thai in his life. Both these coaches are very legit, if he ate one kick from either of them he would go cry to his mommy.

[@nicklawrence9280]

really awesome, wish it could have been alitte longer though.

2 years and a half of muay thai training? what went wrong man? Now I'm thinking if I'm going to push through bangkok muay thai training. Taekwondo since I was 5 is not enough. I think I should stay in philippines and learn more boxing, kick boxing and bjj. and engage in local fight. I'm maybe at 30 but still have the spirit to train and fight. I'm going to die anyway. Somehow I enjoy my life doing the things that I love.

[@rdadams3]

Aaron is really good, dont let the video fool you. When a fight is turned into a scrap, the beauty and timing of Thai Boxing goes out the window, and you have a fight. I imagine both guys are high level for this area.

*Some facts about Kru Muay Association* The Kru Muay Association originated from the separation of the amateur Muay Thai from the professional Muay Thai. This division pursued the goal to have Muay Thai recognized as an Olympic discipline by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). A project that has not been successful until today. The officials of professional Muay Thai would like to have nothing to do with Kru Muay. For them this club is only a necessary evil. If you take a closer look, you will notice that all the so-called traditional teachers of the Kru Muay Thai Association have simply appointed each other as teachers and are now worshipped by wealthy foreigners once a year. The whole association is very political, but has less fighting competence than an average boxer in Rajadamnern Stadium or a Buakauw (who is a Cambodian and not a Thai by the way). Despite comprehensive state support, the Kru Muay Association still has no coherent teaching concept for traditional Muay Boran and Muay Thai is still not Olympic.
