Sharks are predators, they hunt their prey, and this would be a very fitting way to describe Chad “The Shark” collins. He has to be one of the most tenacious fighters in kickboxing right now. He's the Aussie fighter beating the Thais!
Although Australian born and raised he has spent the best part of his career training and competing in Thailand. Pakorn, Pongsiri, Seaksan, Saenchai, Collins resume isn’t short of big name Thai fighters, but it’s been in Japan where he’s emerged as one of the worlds top kickboxers. Collins recently beat Glory Champion Petpanomrung Kiatmuu9, his biggest win to date. As much as he’s become a certified name in kickboxing, Collins roots are deeply entrenched in Muay Thai and he brings that spirit into every fight.

Chadd’s greatest strength is his heart, followed by his ability to trade in the exchange, his eyes simply work better than others from being trained to swap leather from childhood, it is one reason that contributes to the lack of knockdowns. Combined with diversified pressure it is as you say, a nightmare for opponents. Your accumulation and suffocation take is spot on. He is an extremely well rounded fighter, there’s very little in the game that is off limits to him.

Awesome vid. Head coach was telling me last night that because of the use of 4oz gloves now becoming more popular (ONE), punches in Muay Thai are starting to become a lot more valuable and we're seeing a decrease in the number of shin checks in like manner - fighter's strategies are changing even amongst the Thai's, feinting more to then allow the hands to get loose and hit the target. Interesting observation and I can say I've noticed a bit of a pattern with this also. Based on what you've presented here, Collins would be a major threat to all the top tier guys at his weightclass in ONE for example, especially so with 4oz gloves.

Ye that's a really good point! I think Chads style would excel in the little gloves, he'd be such a problem in ONE. I feel like the Thais are fighting way more wreckless in the 4oz haha.

Chadd is 3 and 0 in small gloves beating Pakorn, Avatar and Lampard. Great video!

Most of the best world champions Often get the most talent from Muay Thai, whether it be Chingiz, Marat, Petrosyan. That's why none of the recent Japanese fighters stood out. That was because he had too much faith in his karate training skills. Collins is another person who has a good Muay Thai background. Therefore, he is another foreign fighter who has a talent for fighting. For this reason, he fought with Petchpanomrung evenly.

Ye Muay Thai is such a strong base for any striking sport. Chadd isn't put off by anything he has a really strong will to win! Thanks for commenting

Marat is a Dutch style kickboxer not a Muay Thai fighter.

@@kesenaememere8520 And honestly Chingiz kicks don't resemble Thai kicks in the slightest, they are karate kicks 100%.

Hi Pro Striking! Great video! Could you do a video on Masato Kobayashi, the Silver Wolf? If I remember correctly, he had a base in Muay Thai and did a few Muay Thai fights too!

[@juanmacias6854]

Great breakdown. I feel super identified with his style. I wonder how he gets his cardio in order to be this relentless in the ring (maybe you could give some suggestions). I have a problem though, to get into the rythm of pressure fighting, what do you think worked so well against Petch that he could get on top of it?

Spearfishing. You have to hold your breath under water for a long time. 👍
